I am planning to CTB by VSED

[BasilThePlant]

I have had an ED for years. I feel it would be easiest to just VSED (still drinking water, but no cals) to CTB. It would give me my desired figure before my death, and if I were to survive, I could chalk it up to my ED and not an attempt to avoid going to a mental hospital. It gives me the pain I deserve, and I can finally focus on my studies for my last 2 months instead of meticulously planning my cal limits and fasting times. Anyone have any tips? How would I hide this from friends and family? How to stop cravings? How to hide hunger/weight loss/deterioration before dying?

im suffering from an ed and want to try vsed as well. i dont have any useful tips because i wing most of what i do. ive done dryfasting frequently in the past and my longest was a little over a week. distracting myself with media or sleeping helped time go past. the cravings went away after a couple of days and overtime i was genuinely too weak to make anything to eat. cold showers helped me feel more attentive. i unfortunately don't have advice for hiding stuff like that...i don't care if anyone notices.

I'm just gonna say that VSED is one of the worst CTB methods, and I'd recommend some other way.

As an anorexic who has tried VSED, it won't work. Even at an already weak state from an ED, if you are still drinking water your body can last a very long time. I'm talking weeks on just water. A few months if you're healthy enough. And if you cut out water and completely stop consuming anything, again coming from an anorexic who has tried this, you will cave and drink and eat after a certain period of time. Even with an eating disorder, your body is not made to do this. Your mind will be overcome by a primitive, ravenous urge to drink before you can stop yourself. It's like an urge to binge on steroids and aderall.
