What aesthetic benefits do you think you will gain from starving? The body becomes distorted and skeletal, hair both falls out and begins growing thicker on the body as a result of hormonal imbalance, your systems begin to shut down and your skin may become jaundiced. You have talents that you will not have the muscular or mental energy to fully use because your body will be trying to consume itself to keep you alive at the barest minimum. You are lovely and worthy no matter what shape or size society tells you you're "supposed" to be, and your body deserves to be fed with the nutrients it needs.

It is never, under any circumstance, okay to starve yourself. I speak from personal experience, not just my own, but the people I love around me. Not only is it ineffective,but it's also damaging physically and psychologically. Your body is incredibly fragile without your support. You need to feed it, and your body will not look any better without any food, rather worse. It may seem to look appealing at first, but you will quickly learn that, in the long run, you will damage your body to the point where return is incredibly difficult. There are so many better, healthier alternatives to make your body look better, and none of them need to involve eating less. Changing the food you eat, drinking more water, and doing more exercise are all much better alternatives. Your body needs at least 2000 calories a day to function healthily. If you work out, even more. Never neglect it. The way you worded the question sounds like it may be personal. I'd advise you to get help as soon as possible, and I hope that you stay safe. There are a bunch of online services which can help you with this, all anonymous. Please stay safe.

Starving yourself is never a good idea. Your health is way more important than what you look like. I've had anorexia so I know what it's like but it's not worth it, trust me.

Absolutely not. You body needs nutrition for you to function normally. When you get the right nutrition, you'll reach your aesthetic goals anyways.
