Would water fasting for 2 days mess up my metabolism really badly? because i think if i lose a couple pounds then i would be motivated more and really believe i could do it. IM me at pinkchahuahua on aim if you have it...I'd love a diet buddy. thanks!

Water fasting? as in only drinking water for two days. Dont even think about it. Water torture is a dangerous and horrible thing to go through. I know because i did it. I thought if i shed the water weight it would motivate me. It only made me sick and actually worse. Please please dont do that!!!

my opinion is it's too stressful- it would set you back more then put you forward, and it's unhealthy so why risk it? also- doing something like that often leads to not being able to stop. you could possibly develope something that would take a lot longer to get rid of like anorexia. plus it just seems to me like it's a weak thing to do and won't help you teach yourself a healthier lifestyle. good luck though with whatever you decide...
