Fasting is coordinated with mindfulness of providing ourselves what we need to thrive, while starving is looking for a solution from outside. Satiety is self-control, telling ourselves that we have enough based on internal feelings both physical and emotional.

Meta good point!
Fasting for me has to be comfortable and I reserve the right to quit at any time. I’m 8 years out of my ED, not sure if I could have done this before without being triggered and ending right back in the disorder.

Fasting is refraining from eating when the body has sufficient fat stores upon which to feed. Starving is when, in the absence of food, the body lacks sufficient fat stores and cannibalizes muscle, bone, and organ to stay alive.

Fasting for me is feeling control. I am in control not the food. I am glad you can carefully "not eat" for a time for the benefits you find. I sent you a PM. :)

Melissa! Wow! Yes! A feeling of control! It’s okay to have a plan that includes how you will eat, when what where etc, and the fast is a part of that plan. When I starve myself, I think it’s me in control… an illusion..

v.2.0. [IMHO] Fasting is the practice of refraining from eating, and, in some cases, simultaneously refraining from drinking. Fasting from food may be healthfully done (psychologically, physically, spiritually) when the body has sufficient fat stores upon which to feed. Starving occurs when, in the absence of food, whether voluntary or involuntary, the body lacks sufficient fat stores and cannibalizes muscle, bone, and organ to stay alive.
