I try to make my relapse as sustainable as possible. But low res does make me feel like I am eating too much. I just don't want to get back into binge/purge behaviour so I try to restrict less then I want to. I feel so fat though. I know that in the long run I will lose more weight this way but it doesn't feel right.
disclaimer: this is NOT medical advice. I am not a professional. I do not accept any responsibilty.
the first part is my opinions and the second part (in purple) is what i did/currently doing.
First of all, you are putting yourself in misery when its not necessary. Stop making things harder for yourself.
something important to keep in mind: the minimum weight that you can reach while still being alive is different, depending on many factors, like your height for example. If you are tall, someone who is shorther than you would look chubbier with your weight. I know that i cant have the same goal weight with other angels, because their goal weight is not suitable for my height. Two people with different heights can have the same bmi with different weights.
something important to remember 2: celebrities might be good inspos to look at but its always better to look at natural results. we all know what they are doing to get this skinny and i assume they are taking a lot of supplements to be able to properly function. and tbh, some of them dont even look good. they are skinny but not inspo worthy skinny, ykwim? its just not it
supplements: get your blood levels checked regularly (you already should) like every 6 months and take supplements you need. They can help with maintaining your energy
dont drink energy drinks or coffee: coffee is more acceptable but energy drinks? They are not good even if you are on a regular, healthy diet. Heart palpilations are fucking scary. Go drink water and add some lemon in it or something. also smoking might also cause palpilations. i am adding those because there might be people who want to avoid those
Counting cals: When you dont exercise and eat 500 cals a day, you are not at +500 cals, you are still losing weight. It pisses me off how you are calculating it wrong then whining about how you got to much calories today. Your body already burns a certain amount of calories everyday for your body to function, even if you dont exercise. You can look it up online to get a idea on how many calories your body burns daily. If you are going to calculate your calorie intake, do it properly. Losing 1 kg of weight = -7700 kcal
Exercise: why are you only doing cardio? if you take two people who are the same height and weight, the one with more muscles and less fat will look far better. Dont worry, you wont get all muscular. Think of it like ballerina physique, get it? Switch some of the cardio you do with exercises that works your muscles
measuring: when you are going to measure your weight; keep your scale in the same place, measure every two weeks, wear the same or atleast similar clothes, measure in the morning with an empty stomach and at around the same time. If you are having your periods keep in mind that you might weight a little more on your periods.
eat clean: simple yet effective. cut off sugar, drink mostly water, homemade juice, herbal teas or coffee time to time. those ice teas or cokes are too sugary. dont eat fried food, cook them in oven. eat whole wheat bread or pasta instead of white flour (it will keep you full for longer)
carbohydrates and fats: why are you so scares of carbs lmao just cut your oil intake (atleast cut the butter and olive oil). You can eat about 8 tablespoons of legumes everyday. it has carbs AND protein. It dđoesnt have much calories, no need to add oil, you can add spices for taste, will give you energy AND protein.
now, about what am i doing personally
its not about you or the food, its about how you regulate your eating habits.
I order food and eat fastfood time to time, i like to eat those a lot. I eat desserts cause I have a sweet tooth (i eat them less frequently though cause i am "eating healthy" now ) but my bmi is 15. And i dont even exercise except for walking.
I eat an oatmeal for breakfast everday and the amount of calories it has would be unacceptable for some of you. For dinner i prefer to eat lentils, sometimes add some whole wheat pasta and salad to it. I eat two meals a day and dont exercise. And enjoy a couple delicious stuff (like desserts or snacks) every now and then. But i am still skinny. Why? Cause the amount of calorie i take in a day is lower than the amount of calorie my body burns.
you see? i dont stress about my weight, i dont "rush" it, i dont check the scale every second. Some of you are not trying to be skinny, you are just trying to harm yourself atp. Stop being miserable. If you are geniuenly overweight (and no, idgaf if you think you are overweight. if you are bmi says you are overweight or if you are close to being) You will lose the weight anyway so just do it and stop thinking about it. And if you are already at around an average weight, you are already fine. Just getting skinnier. You dont have to stress about it.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask. in the comments, in my inbox (anonymous or not, doesnt matter) and i will try to help as much as i can. xoxo
These tips are for people who are already disordered and who do not wish to recover. Please do NOT do anything here if you are not already disordered. Ana is a terrible illness that kills thousands a year, not a fast weight loss hack. People like me do this because we experience mental turmoil if we do not keep losing weight.
<~>Habits and behaviors <~>
-fasting will be your best friend, you donât have to fast for 23 hours every day tho. I usually fast for around 18-20.
-ALWAYS fidgeting, it burns cals steadily without tiring you out.
-I will go into this later but donât track cals exactly
-donât work out 24/7, take rest days. It is literally impossible to give 100% all the time
-accept that weight loss will not happen over time, fall in with the process, not just the end goal
<~> How to hide it<~>
-if you have lighter hair, dye it black. It will make your hair look thicker even if itâs thinning.
- take food to your room and feed it to pets / throw it out. If you do feed it to pets just make sure they can have said food before hand.
-when you are eventually made to âmaintainâ or âgainâ drink a LOT of water before. Put rocks in your bra (if you can). Just wrap them in something so they donât make sound. Also hide as much in your clothes as you can. Weight yourself at home before hand to make sure you are where they want you to be.
-donât always talk about food but also donât never talk about food. Only talk about food around ânormalâ eating times.
<~>Foods to eat / not eat<~>
-I believe in a balance of everything. Donât res so hard that you only eat like two things but also donât eat whatever you want.
-I suggest sourdough bread, the one I get is 90 cals for a piece bigger than my hand.
-eggs
-ramen, and if your on a liquid fast just eat the broth.
<~> how to lessen your appetite <~>
-ik this sounds crazy when all you can think about is food but i swear doing this helps so much
-so at first force yourself to a limit, this part is really hard. Drink so much water, and warm drinks.
-after you can eat within that limit for a while (around two months) slowly stop counting cals as religiously. Still try not to overdo the eating
-after youâve done this you will find that your just not hungry, yeah sure theres still food noise but just not real hunger.
-also sleep as much as you can, if you sleep more your appetite will decrease.
<~>ending notes <~>
-Anyways I do hope this helped, sorry if this is really basic itâs just whatâs helped me.
-again do not use these if you are not already disordered, there are healthy ways to loose weight.
You lost only one pound? Thatâs still good. Not all progress is meant to happen quickly.
You only lost an inch off your waist? Youâre still getting there. You lost one, you can lose more.
You stopped yourself in the middle of a binge? Thatâs actually amazing to not finish a binge considering itâs so hard to break sometimes.
Celebrating the small wins doesnât mean youâre getting complacent. It just means youâre recognizing your progress. You should be proud of how far youâve come, and how far youâll go.

Take it from someone who has started a calorie deficit many times and stuck to it:
1. The first three days, you will be starving. It will be constant. It will suck. I cannot sugarcoat it.
But the good news is it doesnât stay that miserable forever.
2. The first week you will have food noise. The physical hunger will go away, and the mental hunger will almost be worse. Do not give in or you will have to start at step one again.
3. After a week it starts to become a habit. The food noise is still there. But you have learned not to listen to it. You have learned to distract yourself with other things that you enjoy. (Since eating is not that much fun anyway)
4. After two weeks, it will become a habit.
Even if it seems hard to start back up again after a binge or a period of over eating, those first few days are the hardest. If youâre stuck in a binge restrict cycle, youâre never gonna get past that point of hunger and food noise.
