    I doubt one day of anything will affect any long terms goals you might have, but still...eat something, perhaps some vegetables or fruit.


    EDIT...will not eating today, cause you to over-do it tommorrow? If so, it WILL be bad.

    While an occasional skipped day is not overly detrimental, make sure you start easy in the AM with some juice or such. Intermittent
    fasting can be a weight loss tool, but it is better if planned for and not emotionally motivated.

    Yea, I mean if you eat something, it may make you feel better. I know that when i dont eat, I feel irritated and almost lethargic. :( try to eat something warm and easy on the stomach, like soup or mashed potatoes. That way you at least have something in your stomach.

    Sorry you're having such a bad day. Do something to take care of yourself. Bubble bath, novel, call a BFF. Tomorrows a new day. We're looking forward to hearing you're having a better day tomorrow

    I don't think a day or a meal really hurts. I mean its not recommended and you don't want to do it forever. But, I know some days like when it's really hot or it's a bad day or I just don't feel good, I don't want to eat. I try to eat something just because but it's usually small.

    If you just can't do it, then don't but you probably don't want to make a habit of it either.
