Weighed in today and I didn’t gain nearly as much as I thought (attempting recovery for my family) and I’m so happy. I’m so happy I’m still underweight. I thought I’d gained like 5kg but I’ve actually only gained like 0.9

I know I’m meant to be recovering but I don’t want to throw away all my progress

wikihow to rip out my stomach and never feel hungry again.

[thinmeansbeautifull]

I was doing so well until last week, my housemate moved out so now I’m living alone which is a good thing I guess but I can’t stop eating and I don’t even know why. I’m gonna buy batteries for my scales and actually do this properly this time, I’ll know what I weigh and I’ll see the progress. I think I keep failing because I’m not seeing a difference but I know I won’t unless I’m consistent. I think I’m gonna try and get into a routine. If I have a routine of days I’m fasting and high and low restriction days I think I’ll be able to stay consistent, just need to figure out exercise considering I keep rotting in bed every time I’m not in work. Also my period started today and the meds I was prescribed require me to eat food for them, I think I’ll still count cals but I won’t be so harsh on myself for eating my cravings.

Stay safe all <3

the in 2 weeks you'll feel it, in 4 see it, in 8 hear it is so true tho

my relapse was in september, when october was starting i already notice a slight difference, and now i'm hearing from a lot of people "you got so skinny" and "you need to gain weight"

[thinmeansbeautifull]

My boyfriend just asked me what I want for dinner even though I already ate a lot today… he’s going to make me eat something and I can’t purge because he’ll hear me this is so annoying. I love him and I know he’s trying to help so I guess I’ll just stick to one meal tomorrow and a snack or something.

I know I shouldn’t have told him about me relapsing but I can’t keep anything hidden from him, he cares too much and that would be unfair

Oct 18 2023

So my boyfriend brought me some food this morning, I got out of eating the pastries by telling him I don’t like the cheesy ones. Had about 250g of vanilla yogurt (150 cals) and loads of grapes (300~ cals) and had a portion of lasagne (490 cals)

Not too bad for today and managed to keep it below 1000 cals

I have work tomorrow so I’ll probably try and eat before I go in so I don’t end up eating a whole pizza. Stay safe everyone 🫶

I haven’t eaten anything all day, and it’s too dark for me to cook anything otherwise I’ll start hallucinating again. I didn’t mean to relapse but it’s so hard to stay away. It feels so good to restrict again, bye bye two years of “recovery”

[louisegluckpdf]

thr funniest part of therapy to me is when you first come in and you're exchanging niceties and they say "hello! how are you" and you say "im fine how are you :)" and then 30 seconds later they put on their therapist voice and say "so how are you doing?" and you go well lisa. believe it or not im doing Bad

Motivational sharks are here for you!

You ever think about the times when food was just food?

When you didn’t know what a calorie was and you didn’t know how to read a nutrition label?

When you could enjoy a treat and not worry about what you were eating or how you looked or how much exercise you needed to do to burn it off?

When your weight was just a silly number?

When you didn’t even know what an eating disorder was?

You ever think about the times when you were happy?

When your identity wasn’t your eating disorder?

Calories

So I'm thinking about increasing how many calories I restrict to, usually I'd keep it between 500-1000 but I might try keeping it between 1000-1500 in an effort to get better again, idk it probably won't work and I'll start exercising every day again because of it

Tips & Tricks Not To Do

1. Ice baths do not burn an insane amount of calories - being cold will actually SLOW your metabolism, because your body is trying to retain heat. You burn more calories in room or hotter temperatures. Ice baths can also be dangerous because it does lower your body’s natural core temperature, and this can lead to blood clots, heart problems, and various other complications. 

2. Ignore the 100 calories workouts. Why? Because you do not burn 100 calories. There are no universal workouts that burn the exact amount of calories for everyone. Someone who is 300 pounds burns twice the amount of caloris than someone who’s 150 pounds. And honestly, the only person who burns 100 calories on those plans are people who are over 300 pounds. Even then it’s iffy. Just don’t fall for it. 

3. Hydration. Is. Key. Just upping your water intake to the levels your body needs will be enough to help jump start weightloss. It regulates the water your body needs, help’s you get rid of excess water weight, plus it helps your body maintain a majority of it’s natural processes. It can take only 3 days to die without consuming water, don’t risk it. 

4. Don’t bother with lax or diet pills. Lax will dehydrate you and only force you to lose extra water and waste weight. Diet pills have insane amounts of caffeine. Your best bet is to use cayenne pepper extract  and vitamin b complex which naturally do what diet pills are marketed to do. Not to mention, just google diet pill side effects. 

5. Do not chew and spit. It’s not a good alternative. The moment you smell food your body starts the digestive process. Now most of the time this isn’t a big deal. However, once you chew food, your stomach is producing stomach acid. Without food for your stomach to digest, you will have acid build up cause acid reflux, stomach ulcers, nausea, and various other problems. 

6. In terms of eating disorders, fasting is never a good option. While fasting can be healthy for someone who is healthy, chances are if you’re restricting your body is already battling to maintain it’s life. Our bodies are not designed to have low intakes all the time. Consult a physician before you fast. Also, do not fast when you need to operate a vehicle or any other machine. End your fast if you feel a burning sensation in your stomach or develop acid reflux. 

7. In every health case, avoid fast food. Not only is the food insanely unhealthy for you (there are healthier options at most chains if you ever need to eat out at one) but the FDA actually allows a lot of these chains to lie about their calorie count by 20%. Most food companies can do it anyways, but fast food is the most guilty.  Supersize Me actually did expand on this so watching that will give you a bit more information. 

8. A good 90% of the so called “pro-ana” tips being spread around are complete BS. While some people may find them helpful, the reality is that most people don’t. You will find what works for you naturally. 

9. The more you restrict or fast the smaller your stomach/intestines shrink. It may sound good now, but the moment you eat more than your body can naturally handle, you are at risk for stomach/intestinal ruptures since your body is no longer used to eating regular amounts. 

10. Do not eat cotton balls for the love of God. I don’t know who even came up with this idea but cotton balls can easily cause intestinal blockages that can kill you, cause massive infection, and could end up needing to be surgically removed. I’ve also seen a few people suggest tying candy to a string then pulling it back up to induce purging? You’re going to choke to death at some point with that, or tear a hole in your esophagus which, best of luck surviving that one. Seriously, don’t follow these stupid tips. 

11. Take a multivitamin. If you restrict you lose nutrients, losing nutrients lands you in a hospital, hospital finds out you have an eating disorder and forces you to eat.

In conclusion, just use your common sense and reason. If it sounds too good to be true, or if it sounds dangerous, it most likely is. Stay safe
