Please think of not eating like this: it's the same as when an alcoholic drinks-- exactly the same. Drinking makes things worse for an alcoholic. Not eating makes things worse for us, and when you don't do it you are making things worse, not better, for you and everybody around you.
It may indulge the martyr in you, but it's really indulging the disease. It's just what I think when I read the many, many posts that include some form of I haven't slept, eaten, taken my medicine, etc. that I see here all the time.
If I'm wrong I'm wrong and I apologize. Take what you like and leave the rest.
