do you know what happens when you starve yourself?If you do major problems are heading your way, if you only have ice and water you dont get the nutriotion you need everyday and say you did the ice water thing for a whole week or two weeks you going to have cravings and when you try to eat somthing you will throw it up autmaticaly no matter how much you try to keep it in, and when you throw up acid from your stomache that dijust food go up and makes you throw up but what makes it worse is the acid tears some of you tissue in your throat. and because of only haveing water and ice your not going to be able to eat without having to throw up so your parents will find out take you to some hospital where there going to have to force feed you. so how does this sound is it worth it you tell me and maybe you will have second thoughts and do the healthy way to knock pounds off. WEIGHT DOESNT COME OFF JUST LIKE THAT YOU HAVE TO PUT TIME AND EFFORT AND SLOWLY IT WILL DECREASE! Hope this helped plz dont do the that stupied idea your risking alot.

Hey. You weigh 126 pounds. That is not overweight or anywhere near it. I think it is stupid to even try to lose the weight and starving yourself is rediculous. Even if you do lose the weight you will only gain it back after you start eating right. Starving yourself for two weeks is the same as having an eating disorder. I think you need to consider what is really wrong, because your weight is NOT a problem.

Don't starve yourself like that. That's really stupid.
