Just surviving

Coke Zero. or Diet Coke. - seriously a life saver, I always bring this to work or when I’m out especially so I don’t get tempted to eat outside. The fizziness of the drink just fills you up, you get your boost of energy, the calories are almost nothing, and cancels out any sweet cravings I have.

Watch Secret Eaters - I recently got recommended to watch this show, and whenever I feel like the cravings are kicking in, I just watch an episode and distract myself completely. The show actually gives a lot of tips on how to control your portions, eating habits, etc.

Talk to my ana buddy - talking to someone openly about your ed, really helps, I feel absolutely no shame and it feels so good saying how you’re feeling out loud.

Go to the gym or exercise - figure out when your binges or cravings tend to kick in. I go from round 5pm - 7pm, and my cravings kick in 5pm-midnight. This seriously helps me so much, cos my appetite disappears for a couple hours after a workout.

Thinspo - just looking at them is so convincing and keeps me determined to reaching my goal.

Count the calories - before eating anything, think of all the food you want to eat and count the amount of calories you would plan to eat. Doing this shows how many calories I would’ve eaten and how much it would gone over my limit. Sometimes it make me feel quite sick thinking about consuming those kinds of calories.

Wait it out - it takes your body 20 minutes to get over the cravings, within those 20 mins do these things and you’ll almost forget about it. bahaha learnt this from the Secret Eaters show.

I can’t find the original post for these but!!! I wanted to share how mine came out and they are delicious! I opted for a little bit of vanilla extract and they are perfectly sweet!! if anyone can find the post I’d love to give credit, but I’ll put the instructions down beloww

Ingredients:

3 egg whites

1 tsp of baking powder

A couple drops of vanilla extract

A tiny bit of salt

Tsp of oil of your choice

Set oven to 350

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until nice peaks form and you can turn the bowl upside down (I suggest an electric whisk, hand whisking takes forever)

take a sheet tray, cover with aluminum foil, and oil ( if you don’t have enough oil they stick and it’s a nightmare)

Take a spoon and dolup mixture onto pan

Bake for 10 minutes, or until tops are golden brown

Enjoy!! I added a bit of cinnamon for sweetness 💕💓💗

Maraschino cherries are eight calories per cherry. They’re basically candy, but low cal.

Cucumbers and pickles are little to no calories, plus pickle juice has been shown to help all your aches and pains.

Broth cubes + hot water in a thermos = something to fill your stomach that isn’t food

Homemade popsicles can be made with literally any liquid. It doesn’t have to be something high cal like orange juice, you could put flavored water in that bitch.

Guys, tic tacs instead of gum. I hate the soggy texture of gum, but tic tacs are where it’s at. You can roll them around in your mouth for 5-10 minutes. They’re like two calories.

Microwave egg white omelettes!

All you gotta do is crack two egg whites in a mug

Add whatever veggies you want

And microwave for around 90 seconds or until done!

So I binged... really bad today.

I know I shouldn’t purge but I’ll literally feel even worse if I don’t get all this food out of my system. ANYWAYS this freaking saves my life. It’s green tea but it flushes out your system I like it better than laxatives even tho that’s what it basically is.

I use 3 tea bags and 1 1/2 water bottles. I put some lemon juice in there to make it taste better. Then I let it cool down a lot and basically just chug it. You’ll feel the affects of it about 6 hours after drinking it.

Stay safe 🖤

I don't know if it's just me but whenever I binge I find it really hard to get back on track because I get very strong cravings. However I found this diet recently and I am so grateful. Doing it. Starting tomorrow.

My biggest inspiration today!

I listened to it on the way to school. Not only is her voice BEAUTIFUL but I love the line:

hunger hurts, but starving works

things that he does that unintentionally encourage my ana mind:

grabs my wrists to show me how skinny i am

picks me up effortlessly

and throws me over his shoulder or carries me like a baby

tells me how tiny i am

calls me ana pet names like princess or doll

grabs my hips

or grips my thigh

or touches my stomach

gets concerned about my eating

complains about my bones during sex/cuddling

is scared to be rough with me during sex or when we’re play fighting

or acts like he can break me, like i’m fragile

“you’re so light” “you weigh nothing”

tells me being underweight isn’t attractive (this ones weird ik)

this. shit like this makes me wanna get smaller and smaller

- imagine how good it will feel when you see your weight drop

- look at thinspo/malespo, meanspo, and sweetspo

- imagine how good the food you’re gonna binge on will be if you wait another day to eat it

- draw, even if you can’t, let your emotions out by drawing or just to distract yourself.

- download some new apps, try them out (recommendations: tomb of the mask, inside/bitlife, cat evolution, i love hue, zepeto)

- do homework, study for an upcoming test or final,

- drink water

- do research on a subject you love, for me I would research history or astronomy

Already Binged?

- do any of the above

- you’ll be ok, just breathe and try to calm yourself down

- drink some water, water will boost your metabolism and will help burn off some of those calories

You will lose weight if you eat at a caloric deficit. Period.

Basic laws of thermodynamics and the universe say in a closed system,

Energy in = energy out

Your body spends energy by existing – breathing, walking, talking, getting up to go to the bathroom, chewing on your food, pumping blood to your organs. Every single action requires energy (calories)!

There’s something called TDEE, or total daily energy expenditure. It’s a calculation of how much energy it requires for you to function and stay at the same weight. Obviously, it matters what heigh and weight you are – the taller and heavier you are, the more calories you require to simply exist. You can find TDEE calculators all over the internet simply by googling.

So for example:

5'4" female @140lb: 1668 calories

5'0" female @110lb: 1429 calories

What does this mean?

In order for you to lose weight, you just need to eat less than your TDEE.

This is basic physics. The laws of the universe do not change. If you eat less than TDEE, you will lose weight, no buts or ifs. If you “binge” eat 1600 calories, but your TDEE is 1660, you will not gain weight (permanently). It’s just not possible (see my notes on water weight below if you have doubts).

1lb of fat is approximately 3500 calories of deficit. In other words, that’s a 500 cal deficit per day, for one week, to lose one pound.

So if your TDEE is 1600, if you eat 1100 calories everyday, you lose one pound in a week.

“But I ate at 1000cal/day and I gained .5lb this morning!!!!”

Weight is so dependent on your sodium intake, hormonal levels, what food you’ve eaten that day that one single scale reading means NOTHING.

Here’s a picture of the scale readings over the past two months for me.

See how it fluctuates like crazy? What’s important is the general trend– although one day I may “gain” 2lbs, one week later I’ll be 3lbs below that “heavy” weight. I actually recommend stepping on the scale every day, at the same time. It helps move away from “omg I gained 3lbs!!!!” and let’s you accurately identify if you are actually losing weight.

So for all you people who are stressed out about eating too much, just do some basic math. Chances are, you can eat a reasonable amount and LOSE WEIGHT. For me, if I try to eat 500cal a day, I do it for one day, then binge eat the next day and ruin my progress. One pound per week may seem slow, but consider how long you e hated your weight, compared to how quickly it’ll drop off.

I’ve hated my weight for almost 8 years now, and in just two months I’ve dropped 1/3 of the weight I wanted to, while eating at 1200calories a day. In that context, 6 more months of this? Easy!

1200 calories: That’s a lot of food! You can eat properly with that! For example one day:

Breakfast

Coffee with condensed milk (60)

Oatmeal (150)

2boiled eggs (140)

Lunch

1cup chicken teriyaki (150)

Broccoli (50)

4 lychees (100)

Dinner

One whole avocado (220)

2 slices of bread (180)

½ carton halo top (140)

In conclusion: you can eat a reasonable amount of food and still lose weight (faster than restricting, bc there’s wayyy less binges). Your caloric intake will depend on your height and weight– a 5'0 woman and a 5'6" woman should not be eating the same amount.
