Tips to hide your 3D from your friends and parents:
wear baggy clothes all the time
only eat when people force you to eat
when people ask you why you aren't eating, make up excuses
if parents hand you food, put it to the side and say that you will eat it later because you're busy, and then throw it away after they go upstairs or leave. but remember to make the plate a bit dirty (with the food) and then put it in the sink so that your parents believe you when you say you ate it)
pretend like you just ate a big meal 30 minutes ago.
get some empty candy and food wrappers (that you find around the house) and leave them in places where you study, in your room, in your backpack, couches, and on tables where you regularly sit so that your parents think you are eating junk food all the time
buy 5 calorie gum to control hunger pangs.
most toothpaste brands have calories, try to get toothpaste specifically without calories.
How to hide the fact that you are fasting (in school and at home):
tell your parents that you had a huge lunch and tell your friends that you had a huge breakfast and are going to family dinner after school.
make up any excuses you can for not eating. get as creative as you want (except maybe don't say that it is because you got abducted by aliens and they surgically removed your stomach, it is not believable)
wear concealer under your eyes to hide eyebags (i started fasting on Halloween, and I got eyebags on the third day).
when people talk to you, try your best to seem energized, and not tired. (many people are asking me whether I feel okay)
if you can, try going to the library or another classroom instead of lunch and tell your friends that you already ate and that you have homework that is due in your next class/period.
If your parents confront you about how you are not eating anything at home, just tell them that you had lunch at school and also got junk food from vending machines. If there are not any vending machines at your school, tell them that it was your friend's birthday and she/he brought cupcakes for everyone. You can also say that your friend gave you chips since she/he did not like them.
wear baggy clothes to hide the amount of weight you are losing since you are going to lose a lot of weight very quickly. (I lost 11.2 pounds in just 88 hours which means I have been losing 1 pound every 7.8 hours)
get some empty candy and food wrappers (that you find around the house) and leave them in places where you study, in your room, in your backpack, couches, and on tables where you regularly sit so that your parents think you are eating junk food all the time and they will not confront you about how they never see you eat since they will just think that you like eating alone.
chew on ice and drink water whenever you can to get rid of stomach grumbles, so that your friends and parents don't hear them and think you are starving yourself. if you don't have immediate access to either (if you're in class or something) just slightly press on your stomach, and it should go away after a minute or so.
a lot of toothpaste brands have calories in them, so get toothpaste without any calories, or chew 0-calorie gum.
Some of these are repeated, but I added things to the second section to make them more specific for people with e4t1ng d1s0rders who are fasting versus people who are not fasting, but still have an e4t1ng d1s0rder
