Having and ED is different when you’re poor.

“You don’t have to finish every meal” yes do, otherwise it was a waste and I’ll feel guilty.

Low cal shit is more expensive.

“For my weight loss I invested in/bought this and this and this” good for you, I wish I had the disposable income to just do that.

Gym memberships cost money.

You can’t spend time exercising if you have to spend time working just to survive.

Finally someone that speak the truth.

what you'll have:

- a petite body - boney fingers - amazing collarbones - thigh gap - flat stomach - visible ribs - smaller clothing sizes are you really gonna throw all that away for something as temporary as food ?

Yes starving is hard but so is

Breaking down in a dressing room

Not fitting into any of your clothes but being too broke to buy more

Looking at your rolls in the mirror

Being the fat ugly friend

Crying over pictures you’re tagged in

Having no pants cause your thighs rub and you get holes in every single pair

Having to spend hours choosing an outfit cause nothing looks right

Being self conscious about your relationship because you’re afraid of them finding someone skinner

Trying not to eat in public due to fear of judgement

Having flabby arms

Being disgusted with yourself

So yeah it’s hard but my life is harder when I don’t do it

Something to remember!! Your “plateau” might just be your body getting ready to flush you out!! Just stay calm and do not binge! Let your body work it’s magic!! KEEP DRINKING WATER!!

Cravings and what they mean

If you crave carbohydrates, your serotonin levels may have dropped. Eggs, cheese and pineapple are good for raising them again.

If you crave sugar, you may be dehydrated. Drink some water or green tea.

If you crave red meat, you may be deficient in iron. Eat dried fruits like figs or prunes, or beans and legumes, or take iron tablets.

If you crave dairy, your blood sugar levels may be low. Eat foods naturally high in glucose, like oranges or strawberries to raise them.

If you crave chocolate, your magnesium levels may be low. Eat brown rice, whole grain bread or spinach to raise them.

If you crave salt, your blood pressure may be low. Eat salted nuts, whole wheat pretzels, or drink salted water to raise it. If that doesn’t work, you may be dehydrated. Drink water or green tea.

If you crave bread, your nitrogen levels may be low. Eat turkey, black beans or brown rice to raise them.

If you crave fried foods, you may be fatigued. Eat slow energy releasing foods like bananas or whole grain bread, or take a nap.

☆ ED hygiene and general health ☆ Hola! Here’s a lil’ post on ED hygiene and health post because if you can’t recover you can at least be hygienically healthy and not become extremely unhealthily ill with other reasons to be hospitalized! ♡ bbys with anorexia! ♡ believe it or not, we have hygiene issues but obviously awful health issues too, here’s how we can prevent them and b healthy skinni queeeeeenz! ♡ dehydration ♡ people with anorexia can become dehydrated really bad because food contains water and some times people become to afraid to even drink water due to the illusion of “water makes you fat” or “water has calories” which, by the way, if you believe this you’re in a severe stage of anorexia and you need to recover or you will die! but anyways, drink a lot of water! i suggest 6 to 10 bottles with 16.9 ounces of water a day, this can also help with weight loss and honestly water tastes great, you can also eat ice (tastes even better!!!!!) to get your hydration up also you can drink sodas like coke 0, diet coke, and ICE (it’s a drink with 0 calories, btw they were forced to put 5 on the bottle and it’s actually 0) and they all taste amazing! ♡ headaches ♡ if you restrict to extreme numbers, such as 500 and under, you have most likely experiences a HELL RAISING headache. it really, really sucks and it’s because you have super high dopamine levels and super low sodium, to raise these levels i suggest eating an avocado (unless they have too many calories or you hate them) and a little salt like a finger tip or something or mineral water, which btw has 0 calories! ♡ dizziness ♡ E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E and i’m literally not kidding, EVERYONE who starves themselves are going to get dizzy. Let me tell you, it’s every single time i get up -_- so here’s how to stop being super dizzy! * drink hella water * try to reduce your stress by doing something calming wether it’s yoga, watching your favorite tv show, listening to relaxing music or drawing, relax. * get a bunch of sleep, sleep burns a lot of calories by the way! * drink caffeine, it raises your blood pressure! ♡ fatigue ♡ yes, people with anorexia feel super lazy and sluggy too, which can suck if you’re a compulsive exerciser. well to let you know, exercise has helped me stop being so fatigued! i like to do chloe ting workouts and other workouts with amazing instructors who make it fun and talk to you during the workout! try doing workout challenges like abs, legs or full body because this can help you lose weight and also feel amazing! ♡ osteoporosis ♡ “i HaVe OsTeOpOroSis” ok but like really, this is horrible, i was born with fast bone maturing (idk what its called lol but i have it???) which made my bones like those of a 18 year old in a 13 year olds body, but anyways osteoporosis is awful, here are some things you can do to prevent it; * drink milk (non-fat: 83 calories per cup) * eat fruits and vegetables like spinach, oranges, peppers, pineapple and others, i would look for ideas on nof.org * try to get calcium and vitamin D, foods like almonds, yogurt, salmon, and eggs are safe like a lot of foods with these! * try to stop smoking and drinking although i know this is how a lot of us get calories * get a lot of sleep ♡ lanugo ♡ i’m not sure if you’ve heard of this but lanugo is when you get so cold your body decides to grow access hair, there is literally no way to prevent this if you have an ED so just be ready, but a lot of people want to shave it but DONT!!!! if you shave it you’ll be cold, if you want to, hide it. ♡ preventing thin nails and hair ♡ we all know that so so soooooo many people with anorexia have hair loss or brittle nails and i would prefer to keep my hair and nails thanks, here’s how i do it; * take biotin and hair vitamins * do a deep condition every once in a while * stay hydrated (this is literally a thing for all of them!) * eggs, almonds and avocados are good for these!
