If you are suffering from an eating disorder please seek help, they are not glamorous and can very well kill you.
🌹1. Plastic baggies are amazing to measure out a set amount of calories. Hide them in underwear drawers, your backpack, inside of folded pants, and even in your shoes if you are scared of a family member finding them. I keep baggies with food in them inside folded clothes and my locker at school. I wash and reuse them so I dont use all of my moms baggies up and hide empty ones underneath my keyboard, mattress, and in my backpack.
🌹2. Always eat infront of family members only. I usually just wait until my mom gets home and then I’m in the living room and kitchen eating grapes and low calorie foods.
🌹3. Always try to go to dinner, even if its high calorie foods. Family and friends will start to catch on if you are constantly “sick” during dinner time or “already ate.” I ask my family when we will have a good dinner and restrict until dinner time.
🌹4. Never use the same excuse more than 3 times with the same person.
🌹5. DO NOT PURGE!! There are so many reasons why purging is bad for you plus your family will catch on!!!
🌹6. Don’t say “too many calories.” Try: “Im trying to stay off of fast food,” “too much grease/sugar makes me break out,” “Ill try it but I dont think I like (insert food),” “Im allergic (use that one cautiously),” “My doctor told me to stay off high carb/sugar/fatty foods,” “Im sorry but im kinda nauseous right now, ill have some later”
🌹7. Start going to after-school activities. I do this and it helps me stay away from food and family until I get home.
🌹8. Take a lot of showers, especially during dinner time so you can say you had some leftovers.
🌹9. Dirty up plates and leave them out. My mom was suspicious of me having an eating disorder until I started leaving out plates with little bits of cereal in them or some spaghetti sauce and noodles.
🌹10. Always clean your own room and do your own laundry so parents or guardians dont go in there to help tidy things up for you.
🌹11. If you pay for lunch at school, save up the money you get for lunch and you can use it to buy gum or your own personal items.
🌹12. Do not keep chew and spit bags in your room for longer than 24 hours unless they are well hidden and family has no way of finding them.
🌹13. Be VERY CAREFUL with grabbing some food off your plate and hiding it in napkins. Ive been caught doing this before and its not fun.
🌹14. This is kind of embarrassing and not worth it in my book, but try to take a big bite of your food during dinner or breakfast time and start to fake choke/cough the food out into a napkin.
🌹15. Hide and lock any screenshots of diets, workouts, thinspo, or anything ED related.
🌹16. Wash your clothes with hot water if they start to fit too big.
🌹17. Dont take laxatives, they seem like a quick fix, but can turn into a long term problem.
🌹18. If your family notices you working out a lot more often say: “I want to be on track and field next year,” “I want to lose some weight,” “Isnt it good to work out?,” “There is an afterschool fitness program and (best friend) wants me to go with him/her/them so I wanna train so I don’t make a fool of myself when I go (when the day comes you can just go on a run and take the long way home , or say your friend flaked)
🌹19. If you are going to the doctors office and are scared of your dr noticing how much weight youve lost, just go. Dont carry rocks in your pockets or anything. Your doctor can help you.
