Sometimes I can stand the hunger. If I am used to it, I can stand it, but you're right. Skipping meals does usually lead to eating more later. I need to eat healthier low calorie foods.

The authorities are clear it's not the best route to a fit healthy body, and you've seen yourself that it doesn't work for weight loss on a steady basis. You may possibly receive attention from people who are concerned about you. I think you've said in the past that that sort of attention feels caring to you, moreso perhaps than other forms of attention. (I think I remember your saying that. Forgive me if I'm wrong.) But I think you might also find that insisting on an unhealthy lifestyle, be it drugs or alcohol abuse or excessive fasting, causes you to lose sources of support as well. And people show caring in many more ways than just concern. You might find that you like those forms of caring too.
I know pdoc gets concerned about me even when I'm not deathly thin. I was still really fat and she was concerned when I was lossing a lot of weight. I don't want my parents to show concern for me though. I hate it when they show concern. I turn hostile and angry towards them, especially my Mom. That's why I hide everything from them.
I'm not fasting anymore right now. I eat too much. I'm hoping I can fast, but it's not working.
