Telling people I am a gluten free vegan so I limit my food options
Telling people I have anemia due to my iron deficiency from no meat, leading to: brittle hair, pale skin, easy bruising, fatigue
Telling people I lost weight from my vegan diet
If people suspect you of an eating disorder, act like it’s not food that’s triggering you, but that you just don’t have time. Turn on your acting skills and act like you’re so stressed out about all the things you have to do. For example, say you’ve been pulling all nighters to finish work (explains the coffee and tired look you have) so you have to go to sleep early.
If people suspect you of an eating disorder, you can go out for walks to avoid food at home (if you want to burn more calories), saying you’re going out to eat is a plus.
If people suspect you of an eating disorder, you could try making them focus on something else. Maybe go through a temporary emo phase, or be really annoying and intolerable to be around. Since many people with eating disorders are always so low on energy or fake being happy. Plus this will excuse your disordered eating as being “defiant.”
If people suspect you of an eating disorder, DON’T blow up when they confront you about it. Make it seem like it’s their fault for being presumptuous while staying calm, add excuses here and there (none of that “I’m not hungry” or “I’m too nervous to eat” bullshit).
At home, you can bring food upstairs (make sure it’s healthy, or else they won’t believe your diet story), leave “eaten” food around. Chew gum whenever downstairs with food in your hand and a bite missing (that you spit out), so it looks like you were eating it >From personal experience.
Wear baggy clothes and layers to seem fuller and bigger to family (maybe in public, too. I got satisfaction from just knowing how thin I really was
Puff out cheeks and wear concealer to hide dark circles (hollow cheeks and a tired face are one of the many clear indicators of being severely underweight)
Wear bronzer to get rid of sickly pale complexion
Turtlenecks, long sleeves, gloves, hoodie, and mom jeans= being warm and not looking so sickly thin
If you restrict calories, let’s say 400, you can split your food up into 4 important times of the day: Breakfast (100 cals), you can have: 1 egg or 1 smoothie or 1 cup of fruit /vegetables. Do this same thing (100 cals) for break at school/work, lunch at school/work, and dinner at home (Don’t stay the night at people’s houses cus they force u to eat). This way, almost everyone gets to see you eat. It makes for interesting arguments when they accuse you of eating too little and you’re all “I didn’t know you were the boss of what I eat. I’m sorry I’m eating healthy KAREN.”
I do not encourage eating disorders for anyone except myself. These tips are for my own personal use. I do not condone the use of these methods for others.
