patience, my dear. you WILL lose the weight; just give yourself time. it doesn’t happen all at once.

stay motivated

stay consistent

be patient

I’ve been ana since I was 12 ( now 18 ) and I’ve recently gone from 72kg to 54kg so here is my best advice:

Don’t cut anything out of ur diet ! Trust me it doesn’t help at all, the times in these last 6 years when I’ve been most successful is when I wasn’t cutting anything out of my diet

Drink at least 2L of water a day ! It’s magic how drinking water can help you lose weight and be way less bloated

Get enough sleep ! I cannot stress this enough. If you want to lose weight and you’re not sleeping you might aswell not bother ! Most weight loss occurs during sleep when the body is resting !

It sounds simple, but adding veg and fruit to your meals can help you stay fuller ( especially if you’re just getting back on track and you’re trying to restrict again, or if you’ve found yourself binging )

Eating breakfast statistically means you’ll make better food choices throughout the day, I used to think it was bs but through trial and error I’ve realised that if I eat breakfast I’ll be way less likely to binge or make a silly food choice because you’re not as ravenous so you can think more reasonably

Personally I find that meal planning can help ( even if I only plan what dinners I’ll be eating ) to not over eat and stick within my calorie deficit

I highly recommend eating different calorie amounts on different days, whether you do a diet which tells you how many calories to eat on different days or maybe you save some of your calories ( think weekly calories = daily calories x7 ) so you can have planned ‘binge’ days/metabolism days where you eat a bit more than you normally would so your metabolism doesn’t get used to very low caloric intake and therefore makes you hit a weight loss plateau which can be very hard to get out of

My crush will finally like me

I have great features, but they are ruined because of my weight

I have a closet full of so many nice clothes I can’t wear because of my weight

Can finally be confident enough for social media, I will be the thinspo that I post and save

Collarbones, flat stomach, thin arms, and thigh gaps are sexy

Will be confident enough for dating

Skims dress 😍 and other body tight clothes will look good

Will get rid of/minimize the disgusting cellulite I have all over my body

A little delulu, but I literally looked like Olivia Rodrigo when I was skinny 😂

My face fat will be gone, my jawline will be sharp

SHORT SKIRTS! Slutty outfits that will look classy because I’m so skinny

Gentle reminder that you can be overweight and have an ed (yes, even ana).

Gentle reminder that you can block anyone who makes your struggles seem trivial. Just block them and let it go.
