You’re not hungry you’re bored.
Do you have an important event coming up and you need to shit your pants before to look snatched?
No worries, here is a quick juice recipe that’ll give you instant diarrhea. Drink it in one go and pinch your nose.
1/2 lemon
1/2 small green apple
1/2 tsp ginger
1 celery stick
Pinch of cayenne
10 spinach leaves
Put all of it through a juicer. If you don’t have a juicer, put it in a blender and then strain the liquid to separate it from the pulps. You can eat the pulps after if you’re very committed (it will be nasty, be warned!)
If you’re feeling brave, follow with a cup of black coffee. Make sure you have a bathroom nearby, you will need it.
Important note!
The faster you drink it, the more effective it will be. You can also freeze it or leave it in the fridge but the effect will most likely not be as strong.
i hate staying at my parents only bc theres no way to throw up w out getting caught💔
relapsed n it lowk feels nostalgic
i need it out of me
M!A HARM REDUCTION
because m!a is an ed too and you can't "just stop". That said, if you don't already pvrge, please don't start. it's not worth it.
1- drink water when you're eating so that it comes out better and you don't end up hurting your esophagus.
2- please don't use anything other than your fingers, anything else is much more likely to cause damage to your gag reflex and throat.
3- wash your hands before pvrging
4- take deep breaths. ever notice your vision getting foggy while pvrging? that's because when you don't get enough oxygen, your eyesight is the first thing to go.
5- every time you are done pvking, you need to fill a glass with 8oz water, mix in roughly 1/2tsp of baking soda and swish and gargle that in your mouth. the baking soda helps neutralize the acid from your stomach and prevents your teeth from rotting. this mixture is safe to drink. drink some of it if your throat is burning.
6- drink/take plenty of electrolytes. pvrging dehydrates you and can lead to muscle cramps and spasms. your heart is a muscle and you need to protect it at all costs. so make sure you're getting plenty of salt, potassium, magnesium and calcium.
pvrging disorders aren't romanticised to be 'pure' but that doesn't make your struggle any less valid. you aren't gross for pvrging. you're just struggling, same as anyone else with any kind of ED.

[Image description: a blue and white infographic titled "EATING DISORDER HARM REDUCTION" in all caps. Below the title it says "This list was developed with input from ED specialists including nutritionists, dieticians, and dentists. It does not constitute medical advice, and should be discussed with a provider whenever possible. It is not intended for anyone currently at risk for re-feeding or under-feeding syndrome. It is non-exhaustive, and will be continually updated. To suggest a tip, email [email protected] with the subject line "ED HARM REDUCTION"
The first section is titled "VOMITING", and reads:
"DURING
Use your hand not a foreign object. If scarring is a concern, alternate with your non-dominant hand.
Watch for blood in your vomit, especially if anything you ate might resemble or conceal blood, keeping in mind that blood brought up this way might appear more brown than red. If you do see blood, stop - it might signify a tear in your esophagus or stomach lining.
AFTER
Mix a little baking soda with water and rinse then spit. Fluoride works, too.
Wait at least an hour to brush your teeth or to consume any sugary or acidic foods.
Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade or something similar. Sip slowly.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Drink fluids. Doesn't have to be water just non-alcoholic and non-caffeinated.
Use high-fluoride and/or enamel-buliding toothpaste.
Use a soft toothbrush.
Chew sugar-free gum to help promote saliva production.
Ask if your provider advises potassium chloride tablets.
If you regularly take Advil or a similar medicine processed through the kidneys try switching to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or another medication that's processed through the liver, purging can strain your kidneys, so you want to ease their workload.
Get your electrolyte levels, vitals, heart function, and kidney function checked as regularly as your provider recommends."
The next section is titled "RESTRICTING", and reads:
"Take a multivitamin, plus calcium, and vitamin D supplements.
To the extent that your body can safely handle, engage in 10-minute sessions of resistance or weight-bearing exercise (stair-climbing, lifting weights) to help keep your bones strong. Avoid contact sports, motions that twist/bend your spine and any exercise that involves risk of falling.
If eating solid food is difficult, try different forms of liquid nutrition meal replacement shakes, medical supplements, pudding.
If you have a dietician or similar provider you trust ask for help establishing some baseline in-take/nutrition goals, and discuss them in the context of specific foods you feel safe eating."
The next section is titled "LAXATIVE USE", and reads:
"Try to not use more than a few days in a row and not in larger quantities due to increasing tolerance If you use stimulant laxatives (Ex-Lax, Senakot), try switching osmotic/non-stimulant ones (milk of magnesia, MiraLAX) which are less harmful. Pay no mind to whether the label vibe is natural vs artificial, you care only about the ingredient list.
Drink Pedialyte, Gatorade or something similar after you purge.
If you regularly use Advil or a similar medication that's processed through the kidneys try switching to acetaminophen.
There is no conclusive evidence for tapering vs stopping cold. What matters is that however you proceed is what best fits your pattern of use and your main concerns over changing it. Give your body a few weeks before judging progress. More than two poops/week during this time, you're doing great."
The next section is titled "BINGEING", and reads:
Go slow bingeing is usually done in a dissociated state - take your time and try to notice the foods as you're eating them.
Take a short walk (5-10 minutes) afterward to help with digestion.
Try a hot water bottle on your stomach if you're in pain while digesting. Avoid curling into a ball or lying on your back.
At the onset of a binge, have a large meal and explore eating to fullness rather than extreme pain."
The next section is titled "OVER-EXERCISING", and reads:
"Take the time to thoroughly stretch and warm up first.
When possible, work out with someone supportive who's been in conversation with you and your doctor about helpfull/ hurtful exercise habits. Try to reduce exercising alone.
Try exercises that involve slower movements, like walking or swimming (somewhere with a lifeguard). When no one's available to join you try walking outside when/where safe to do so see if you can make that the primary form of exercise you do alone. Stick to familiar terrain close to your home."
The final section is titled "ALL", and reads:
"Take all medications and supplements at the time of day furthest from any purging.
Try reducing a harmful behaviours frequency - from several times a day to once a day or from once a day to a few times a week.
"Drink enough water" means different things for different people, so although eight glasses of non-alcoholic non-caffeinated fluids a day can be a starting point, ask your provider's input here if you can.
Get your electrolyte levels, vitals, heart function, and kidney function checked as regularly as your provider recommend"/ end id]

tips that aren't the same list from 2006
you know exactly what dumbass list I mean, and none of that shit is practical, it's giving uwu ana butterfly and we all know it
hi, I'm angel, I'm a nutrition major, and here are tips to keep yourself safe and hide your eating habits that actually make sense. this will not be in any particular order, but
avoid ketosis. i know, i know, you heard it burns fat faster! it also makes you smell like a dog rolled in sharpies and makes you stupid. i'm not kidding, you will be slow as fuck. avoid keto at all costs, carbs are better and healthier than being caught and dumb
take electrolytes and pay close attention to your potassium intake. if you neglect this, you will damage your heart and muscles and run the risk of having a heart attack. i use liquid IV because I have POTS and need the extra sodium, but that brand is also good for ED-havers because it has extra b vitamins
take ultra strength prenatal vitamins. they contain extra folate, fish oil, and dha, all of which are necessary to protect your heart and brain when you're not intaking much food.
For other supplements, I recommend Metamucil to keep your bowels going, iron, vitamin c packets (will make the iron absorb better, I personally use the +immunity ones), b-complex, calcium-magnesium-zinc, and vitamin d. Make sure the b-complex contains b-12. Feel free to send me an ask or dm me for dosages because some of these will depend on where you live geographically or what food you are eating.
find a protein shake you like. I'm a muscle milk bitch personally, but fairlife, premier, etc, are all good. make sure it isn't a meal replacement shake, and make sure it contains at least 20g of protein. these contain vitamins beyond protein that will help you stay healthy. the protein will also keep you full. i recommend using it as milk in coffee because the coffee will also suppress hunger and act as a mild laxative without harming the bowels. don't take your iron along with this, as dairy will hinder the absorption of iron.
don't take laxatives. you're going to give yourself IBD. maybe once a month as an extra cleanout you can do a little miralax, but the natural route is always better. regularly drink coffee and drink specifically senna green tea, they're both natural laxatives. the metamucil i recommend will also keep you going. if you need a bigger laxative effect, blend a whole peeled and seeded orange, a few inches of peeled fresh ginger, juice from a whole lemon, add a tsp each of cracked black pepper and turmeric, blend with coconut water until it's a thin smoothie consistency. drink that, you'll be good.
the best thing you can do for yourself is hide your behaviors behind health food gym girlie orthorexic behaviors. nobody takes orthorexia seriously and they encourage those behaviors. you can cut out whatever the hell you want if you're crunchy and healthy about it.
don't go too crazy about it. old tips would tell you to act like you loved food and it's really obvious. being obsessed with food and cooking is weird and obvious. don't talk about food constantly and make it your whole personality to try to hide, it's bizarre and one of the signs they tell parents to look out for. you have to be nonchalant. food is whatever. you like it, you have favorite meals, but you get tired of tastes quickly, you're picky about textures, you don't like it once it gets cold, etc. it's just fuel and it's meaningless to you. you eat for your health, not for pleasure.
high impact workouts like HIIT and running may not be the best idea. some studies show that high impact exercise stimulates hunger hormones in some individuals. pilates, ballet, and yoga are low impact, high results, and give a very desirable aesthetic. they're also quiet and can be done with a yoga mat and maybe a theraband.
get a job. get a hobby. join a sport. being out of your house as much as possible gives you the largest opportunity for excuses. oh my job catered lunch, oh there were snacks at practice, oh so and so brought something to the knitting circle. this can also be an opportunity to earn or save money (or swindle your mom out of cash by obtaining money for concessions at games and then only getting a diet coke)
if you control your own food, maximize your nutrition. salmon, tuna, sardines. kale, chard, spinach. beans, lentils. berries. protein pasta. pasture raised eggs. the fancy filtered fairlife milk. your body will hold out so much longer if you're keeping it fueled with proper vitamins and minerals.
track your food using cronometer - if someone sees it on your phone and asks, you have a perfect built-in excuse. oh, you don't care about the calories, but it tracks vitamin and mineral intake, and you're trying to make sure you're getting enough of those because you have, say, an iron deficiency or you're worried you're not getting enough omega-3s.
anorexic hair is really obvious. it's from malnutrition and stress. absolutely ensure you're getting enough omega-3s and other fats in your diet (avocados, eggs, oily fish, nuts like walnuts) to avoid the anorexia hair and the sallow, dry skin. this is also why i insist you take vitamin d, iron, vitamin c, a b-complex, and a pre-natal with folate and dha, those will also protect your hair and skin health. also make sure you're trimming dead ends, get a deep conditioner and/or bond repair treatment, do scalp massages, and if it does fall out, start using a mousse for volume and get a cut to maximize volume to hide it.
keep up your oral, skin, and nail health, too. these can also be obvious indicators. if you're taking the vitamins and keeping to the foods i'm recommending, it'll help, but make sure you're brushing and flossing, use the nasty brown listerine, a good dry skin lotion like curel, and a nail oil. keep your nails short if they start peeling, but if they're peeling, you need to take more vitamin d and iron, or you could have celiac disease.
there's no such thing as a broken metabolism, and you can't boost or slow down your metabolism. those are myths. the only way to make your bmr higher is to have more muscle.
extra tip: if you start fainting, tell people you have or think you have POTS. work smarter not harder.
