Does the hunger ever go away? - Eating Disorder Recovery Message Board

I just wondered if the hunger feeling ever goes away for any of you. Some say it does and I wondered after you starve that long, does the hunger go away?

Hey!! Um...I found that after 4 days you don't really feel it. Maybe that was because I was drinking alot of fluids though.
Why do you ask?X

Hopefully your not asking because your going to hold out until the hunger pains go away. I got to the point where I wasn't hungry anymore but trust me it just makes it that much harder when you have to or want to get better. Eventually you will have to eat and it makes it quite a struggle when you know that you have to eat to be healthy and have some sort of energy but your not hungry. It will become a circle of why do I need to eat I'm not hungry, I have to eat or I'll get sick, but I'm not hungry....ect you'll drive yourself crazy, thats where I'm stuck right now.

Don't starve yourselves like that, if you don't have anyhting in your stomach to digest, your stomach will start digesting it's own material, you'll be digesting your stomach. Can't u guys just find a way to be thin without starving yourself? It really is possible you know. Just make the rule for yourself that no matter what, you'll always have a little bit of food in your stomach. Only that way you can keep your metabolism going so you can keep burning calories/ fat.
