If your curious, don't get the idea I'm annorexic either. When people are hungry, they eat. Once I didn't have the time to eat and I was starving. Over the time, I felt like I would throw up but it went away. The feeling can appear and then disappear and then reappear. Over the days, people will get use to of the feeling but it doesn't go away.

hey
first of all, they are hungry ALL the time. sometimes they just drink tons of water, to make their stomach feel full, but the achey feeling stays. so yea, basically their stomachs tend to hurt alot, and they're always weak if it's a really bad case.
the hunger will not go away eventually. as your stomach shrinks, you will still crave food, only you wont be able to eat as much of it. this would be because your stomach is getting used to the smaller amounts of food. it will still feel hunger, though.
all anorexics are different. i've heard a story of a super model who flipped, because she 'binged' and ate 11 grapes. so pretty much they eat very little to nothing. then, if they do eat stuff, they end up working out.
it all depends on the person. but anorexia is just a bad idea in the first place. once the person starts eating again, they gain EVERY bit of weight back more quickly, because the body hasn't been used to food.
either that, or they get very very very sick. and fatalities are possible, too.


hope i've helped at all!

They're basically always hungry but some of them are so sick (mentally) that they actually like the feeling of hunger. Hard to get if you don't have it, I know.

They also sometimes use tricks like drugs, smoking etc, which of course then just gives you ANOTHER addiction to worry about...so that's not too good either.

Everyone's different though so I can't say what all anexorics do. Some only eat a few calories some not at all. And the damage can be irreversible because when your body is THAT starving it will start eating ITSELF!! No lie, your body starts feeding off of your own tissue, your heart weakens...bad all around.

so now you have the low-down.

You never get used to the feeling of being hungry. You're basically hungry 24/7 and it sucks ass. It may go away for a minute or two if you use a few tricks, but the hunger always comes back.

Fasting can last a few days but you do eat something, very low in calories. Sometimes less than 100 and sometimes less than 500. It all varies but you end up burning the caloric intake, if not more.
