Well, I can tell you that it's not a healthy diet - not in the least. There's nothing redeeming about what you're eating and why you have not stopped to think about this before you spent over 2 weeks only eating cookie dough.

You are not feeding your body any kind of nutrients that it needs to function well.  You won't die from this, but your body will eventually rebel and you might find yourself in worse shape than you are right now.

I can tell you that you need to stop treating your body like this, but I'm wondering if it matters enough for you to stop and think about what you're doing. You have to be 13 in order to use this site, so you should be old enough to be aware of healthy eating. I would re-think your "diet" if I were you.

If you need help, I would offer this as advice. Plan to eat well. Go right now and see what's in the fridge and what's in the cupboard. Put it in your mind that tomorrow is a new day. Eat something for breakfast - even it's a PB&J sandwich and milk.

If you go to school, you know already that it's hard enough to get through to lunch without breakfast, so you really need to focus on eating something good.

When you don't make a plan, you set yourself up for failure. What's on the agenda for lunch? Will you take lunch or get something at school? If so, what would be good and filling for you?

Throw out the cookie dough. You've had enough and your body is ready for you to take a new direction. If you have an eating disorder, a trip to your doctor might be in order. Good luck.
