Purging
ā¢Drink water, it fills you up when you are hungry and makes purging easier. ā¢Throw away the foods you think youāll binge on. ā¢Cut food into tiny pieces. ā¢Put your fork down between bites. ā¢Chew everything a certain number of times. Eat in patterns. ā¢Develop systems of eating. All of this helps to make food a mere object rather than the devil itself.Take a sip of water or other calorie-free liquid between each bite. You feel full much faster, partially because the body often mistakes thirst for hunger, so by drinking lots of water, one actually reduces the amount of food their body needs to eat. ā¢If you are really craving something specific and are on the verge of a binge, go into the kitchen, prepare it, and then eat it-but do not swallow instantly! Chew it slowly, enjoy it, and then spit it out if you can. Immediately after that rinse your mouth with water at least three times before swallowing a sip. And remember the 3-bite-rule! ā¢If you are about to binge, pick a safe food, preferably negative calorie (pickles, celery, lettuce, etc.) everything got calories, sweetie.. and eat it, while taking a sip of water with each bite. You will most likely be full so the desire to binge will be gone, but you havenāt eaten anything ābad.ā ā¢Eat as slowly as you can. It takes your body around 30 minutes to realize itās full. Chew until the food dissolves in your mouth and drink a lot of water. ā¢If you must binge, only binge for 5 minutes then purge. Take the time and control yourself! ā¢When youāre going to prepare your food, put little food on your plate and make sure to make it look big! ā¢Your tummy gets full faster than your head, so make sure to make your food look more than it is. Itās really important, you see! ā¢Sabotage your food. Adding too much salt etc works great. ā¢When you eat, ONLY eat when people are watching. ā¢STOP EATING IN YOUR ROOM. Remember to sit down in the same place every day; not in front of TV or computer. Eating in front of TV distracts you from your bodyās fullness signals, and youāre more likely not to notice what youāre eating. ā¢If you feel like you want to eat, go to a friendās house. You can not just raid the fridge, and chew gum so if youāre offered something, you just say that you got gum in your mouth. ā¢After you purge, drink some water, jump up and down, and go purge again. Keep repeating this until you only get up as clear fluid as possible. ā¢If you live with roommates or at home and need to purge while hiding it, turn on the shower while youāre purging to cover up any sounds or suspicion of taking forever, and then hop in and take a quick shower after youāre done. But be careful so you wonāt clog the shower.. so chew well. ā¢If youāre completely desperate, mix 2 tablespoons of salt with a cup of water and drink it. Jump a bit up and down to make yourself really sick. Itāll make you nauseous. But beware, it tastes DISGUSTING and itāll make everything else that comes up taste just as gross. ā¢Wear a belt and tighten it as you progress in your purge. It will help get the food up. ā¢Try doing pushups, jumping jacks, squats, or other short but intense activity after a binge. Youāll feel more like throwing up right after. ā¢Drink electrolytes to get some of minerals you have lost. Iāve heard that mineral oil is a very effective and less harmful laxative, but Iāve never tried it. ā¢If you take laxatives(in pill form), try in a 2, 4, 6, 8 ratio so your body doesnāt get used to them, because then you have to take higher and higher doses. So use 2 the first day, then 4 the second, 6 the third and 8 the forth, then fast one day and donāt use any laxatives, then start up the cycle again. You are basically tricking your body. BUT donāt overuse the laxatives. Youāll end up making the POOP muscles all weak. ā¢Drink tons of water while you are eating. It will make the food so much easier to get up, plus it wonāt taste bad if there is enough water. it also fills you up faster so you have less food to puke out. ā¢Use more than one finger, and wiggle them a little to ātickleā the gag reflex. i personally use three or fourā¦ It makes me feel like i am choking and everything comes up. ā¢Push on your stomach when you want to purge. ā¢Wet your fingers first by sucking on them or running them under warm water. ā¢Use your stomach muscles to push the food up. ā¢Chew your food until it dissolves. Food comes back up in basically the same order it went down in. If you eat something brightly colored first, youāll know when youāve gotten up mostly all the food. However, since you canāt always get up everything, itās better to make this āfirst-foodā something low-cal in case you end up having to live with it after all. Everything gets mixed in the tummy. ā¢If throwing up is hard for you use a tooth brush (not the side with the brush) and drink lots of fluids before, but I find this annoying and it makes my throat hurt even more. when gagging find that little hump in the back of your throat and just keep rubbing it around in circles ā¢Do not kneel by the toilet. Stand in front of the toilet - tilt your head up and put your fingers down your throat. When you begin to gag, bend down over the toilet. Much easier and less effort needs to be put into it. ā¢The bristly end of a tooth brush works well for purging, irritating, but gets the job done and the puke comes up. ā¢Drink a glass of water before you puke, and then take a break and drink another one when ever it gets a little hard to get it all upā¦then after drink another glass and brush your teeth you will feel refreshed and ready for the rest of the day. ā¢After purging donāt brush your teeth!! It just rubs the acid in a eats away at your tooth enamel. Instead rinse your mouth out with water or mouth wash. ā¢Throwing up more than one hour after eating is mostly useless. But it takes between one and three hours for the stomach to empty. ā¢DO NOT eat granola bars or bread. They do not come up easily if at all since they stick together and youāll end up puking a big ball of ew. ā¢Try a not- so-harmful laxative solution instead like lactulose. ā¢If youāre purging in a public toilet, flush the toilet with each puke episodeā¦ it covers the sound & you can always say that the toilet isnāt flushing forcefully enough (like itās broken). ā¢Stand up when putting your finger down your throatā¦ when it is downā¦ breath inā¦ lots of airā¦ then bend over and it will come out. ā¢Instead of rising suspicion by going to the bathroom after every meal, go to your room, turn the stereo up and purge in a garbage can with a plastic bag that doesnāt leak and may be seal-able. youāll get a chance to see how much actually came up and itāll be easier to hide if you make any noise. But get rid of the evidence discreetly. ā¢After purging run hands under cold water and pat your eyes. After you finish purging usually your eyes look puffy and red. cold water helps tone the redness down ā¢Rinse your mouth with baking soda or fruit-salt with bicarbonate after you throw up- to neutralize the acid.Then use mouth wash- or gum or whatever. do NOT brush your teeth right away- that just worsens the effects of the acid. ā¢Things that hurt to throw up: Hot stuff, since youāll most likely puke trough your nose tooā¦ hard stuff like crispsā¦ ā¢Drink lots of fluid, a gallon of anything will automatically help you throw up. If you drink loads you to get really full and it will all come out ā¢Drink hot water then try to purge, the hot water makes me nauseous and makes it much easier. ā¢Drink lots of warm water before you throw up it helps the food come up better or after you binge eat a few spoonfuls of ice- cream. It makes me nauseous and I want to puke. ā¢Donāt clog up the toilet ā¢If possible do try and puke in your bedroom in a bag or something because after puking thereāll be a shiny layer on top(from fat) the water (in toilet) and this will attract attention at home ā¢There is nothing more degrading than puking in a toilet and being splashed in the face by potty water and your own vomit. this usually doesnāt happen often unless it is very forceful purging, you can lessen this splash-effect by putting a few squares of toilet paper on the surface of the water ā¢Force yourself to wait at least one hour between binges. I have, like so many others, a bad habit of binge/purge/binge/purge/binge/purge, etcā¦ By the end of the entire session I get lazy & put less effort into bringing everything up. ā¢By spreading out binges, less food gets left behind ā¢If your eyes get red after purging (say if youāre out eating with friends and you go to the bathroom), come back and tell them how youāre contacts are driving you NUTSā¦makes it seem like you were taking them in/out in the bathroom (hence the red eyes) ā¢Donāt eat your food when its too hot. You wont be able to chew properly and then itāll be hard to vomit big pieces of food. If youāve been there youāll know what Iām talking aboutā¦ ā¢When youāve nearly finished but cant get the last bit out, punch yourself as hard as you can in the stomachā¦..just below the base of the rib cage, Iāve found this really helped as when you drink water after it you feel so nauseous it all comes out ā¢Soft fruit (grapes, strawberries) are the best to purge with, but remember to chew them well ā¢While you are bingeing, take a sip of water in-between each bite of food. So then, when you purge it, the food is all mixed up in the water so nothing gets stuck or is hard to come out. ā¢Try to get all the vomiting done at once, if you stop for a little you aināt going want to go back. So take a deep breath, and get it all done. ā¢Stay away from sandwiches! They are just about the worst kind of food when you are on a diet. First, they pack a lot of food into a small space, leaving you relatively unsatisfied for the number of calories youāre consuming. Second, they are designed to be eaten quickly ā a big no-no for anyone trying to lose weight. Third, they tend to come with a lot of empty calories ā sauces, too much filling, etc. And finally, sandwiches treat bread as a vehicle for food, not as food in itself, thus adding a lot of unnecessary calories to what might otherwise be a sensible meal. If you absolutely must eat on the run and need a sandwich, make sure to use a low-calorie bread, stay away from sauces, and pack your sandwich with lots of leafy vegetables (crispy fresh baby spinach or arugula are my favourites) Or have a FREAKING SALAD, FATTIE. ā¢Chew eat bite of food thoroughly and then take a sip of water between bites. You will feel full quicker and will not eat as much. ā¢Long nails can make you scratch inside of your throat and youāll be in unnecessary pain. ā¢Make a list of all the ābadā foods that you crave and tend to binge on. Each day, pick one to take out of your diet that you absolutely, no matter what, cannot eat again. Take one off the list each day until there are no more bad foods you can have. ā¢Before you dig into that cake, bag of chips, candy, or whatever, take a deep breath and count to 100. Maybe by the time you get to 100 you will have convinced yourself that you donāt really want it.
Hope this helped
