⭐ GET OUTSIDE!! Put your headphones in and go for a walk or ride your bike. Anything to get yourself away from the kitchen. Plus you’ll get some exercise, fresh air, and have some fun!
⭐Learn to take the bus and explore! Be safe though and figure out how much money you will need for bus fairs. Do NOT bring extra for food.
⭐You’ll drink more if you use a straw, so if drinking water is a chore for you, use one.
⭐Do not give up. I dont care how many times you fail, just get up, dust yourself off and keep going. It WILL get easier. I used to not be able to fast at all but now i can go for 36 hours.
⭐When trying to lose weight, weigh yourself once a week ONLY in the morning before youve eaten ANY food or drank ANY water. The scale will say more after youve consumed things but thats just because it hasnt digested yet.
⭐If you reach your goal weight and want to start maintaining, weigh yourself more often to make sure your weight doesnt creep back up.
⭐Use a calorie calculator to see how many you need to maintain your new, smaller weight dont start eating junk again. This one is good: http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=16&csex=f&cheightfeet=5&cheightinch=5&cpound=120&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cactivity=1.2&printit=0&x=82&y=11 ((Even if youre lightly active choose sedentary just to be safe. I would also subract ~100 calories from whichever number you choose))
⭐Binging every 2-3 weeks can actually be good for your metabolism because your body will think its not starving anymore and possibly drop a pound. Just be safe and take it slow though because your stomach will have shrunk and it IS possible to tear your stomach after long periods of starvation.
⭐Say nothing about dieting or weight for calorie restriction to ANYONE otherwise they will become suspicious and try to stop you from losing weight
⭐Especially if youve lost a lot of weight very quickly. Wear layers.
⭐You absolutely should not weigh anything under 95 pounds. You will end up dying. Your broken corpse is not beautiful.
⭐Studies show that added and refined sugar and salt are addictive. Stop eating them for 21 days and you wont even miss them. If you need something sweet, put cinnamon on apple slices (surprisingly rlly good) and substitute salt with lots of garlic and onion or other spices and herbs.
⭐For me personally, its easier to fast on days when i dont go anywhere because i can be lazy and i dont get as dizzy. But if you cant handle the temptation of being anywhere near the kitchen, then choose a busier day.
⭐Never eat when youre alone. This will prevent binging. Only eat when someone else is with you so no one can say “i never see you eat anything are you eating??” or whatever
⭐Oatmeal will keep you full. ¼ of oats, ½ water, as much cinnamon as you desire, and a splash of vanilla. Mix it up and microwave for a minute. It will keep you warm and releases energy slowly.
⭐Find your favorite thinspo and take a picture of yourself in a similar pose. Look at the comparison when you want to eat.
⭐Get a teapot and brew a big pot of green tea. Sit down and look at thinspo or do anything else and drink your tea 🍃
⭐Grab the fat on your stomach. Arms. Thighs. Tug on it. Look at how fat you are.
⭐Take vitamins WITH your food.
⭐Definitely take before and after photos. Its hard to see progress.
⭐See that piece of cake you want to eat? Smell it. Hold it over your tongue for 20 seconds. Ask yourself if its worth ruining all of your hard work. Drink some water instead.
⭐When making green tea, do not let the water boil. Pour it just when the water begins to steam. Then only steep it for 1-2 minutes otherwise it will be nasty. If you still dont like it just drink peppermint or ginger.
⭐Measurements are also good to track progress because your weight naturally fluctuates.
⭐Do not purge. You’ll already have absorbed a lot of the calories. Thats why most bulimic people arent very skinny. Those with anorexia simply dont expose themselves to the calories.
⭐If your body builds muscle quickly, remember that squats and other leg and butt workouts will only give you bigger thighs. Those little body weight workouts are for toning and building muscle. They dont burn fat, but toning is still nice. Make sure you do cardio for ultimate fat loss. Thats why runners are so skinny and weightlifters are thick.
⭐Just a 30 minute walk can burn 100+ calories. Make sure youre walking like you have somewhere you need to be though.
⭐I always worry about getting through the day without binging, so distraction is key. Dont let food become the only thing you think about. So find some things to do:
⭐Distract yourself. Paint your nails so you cant pick up anything (see: food), go on tumblr, look at thinspo, keep a journal, draw even if you arent good, or learn a new hobby: http://killyouranxiety.com/post/59330764563/hobbies-masterpost
(I love looking through this blog when im bored. Google tumblr masterposts to find more fun things like games and random interesting shit)
⭐Video games are always a good distraction. I specifically like ones like animal crossing or anything similar like those dumb facebook ones where you have to put a lot of time into them. The sims is good too because you can spend hours playing it.
⭐Dont eat after 6 pm. No exceptions. Dont eat before 7 am. Then push it back to 8 am. Then 10 am. Then 12 pm. If you only eat from 12-6, youre fasting for 18 hours a day. This is called intermittent fasting and can be good for your health. You can, however, keep shrinking your window for food. I dont eat until i get home from school at 3 and i stop eating at 6. Its become quite easy.
⭐I understand that you might want to take laxatives, but dont. Read about the dangers of them online, seriously. If you need to “clean yourself out” just drink a cup of coffee. Or eat fiber rich food regularly
