You can't just not eat. I mean you take medicine right? And isnt that supposed to work? You'll have to talk to one of your parents about it or see if they can talk to your doctor for you.
You need to eat though, so not eating is out of the question..because you could get very sick if you dont.

Sherry answered Tuesday March 1 2005, 5:05 pm: Okay this will really help you out. I read it in my South Beach diet book and this is what you do, 15 minutes before your going to eat pizza or whatever..have a glass of metamucil(or any other fiber stuff you have) and then you can eat like 15 minutes later. So the fiber will help you break down the food and you will be fine! Funny how a south beach diet is helping you out haha. So try that, and see if it works!
