I beg to differ - starving oneself is far from fun (unless you're banking on a hunger high), and any weight you lose from fasting is sure to come back to you once you start to reintroduce solid foods or high-calorie liquids.

This is a food forum, not a lack-of-food forum. Unless you're making a political or religious statement, or you're talking about incredibly precise calorie-restriction then I'm not sure that this thread will be easily digested.
It's not starvation unless you want it to be. It's kind of silly in my opinion to believe less than 24 hours without food would cause you any harm.

The pride and joy is experienced as a result of the mindset to make a specific commitment.

I don't think one should always be fasting or eating few calories, I stressed the need to have a surplus in my post. Sure the weight will come back, that is to grow healthier

It may be presumptious to think you have some kind of experience in eating disorder, but if that were to be there case; I believe a basic education in fasting would lead one to developmentally reject such impulses and sublimate those desires in a healthy way.
