weight loss ☻👉👈

Why is it that we, as a culture, eat like hedonistic 5-year-olds?

I understand food videos on the internet are not to be taken as gospel, but if you watch Tasty and other online gif-style recipes, everything is sickening. Deep fried cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches that use butter AND mayonnaise, grilled cheese sandwiches with deep-fried macaroni and cheese as bread, cookie dough that’s stuffed with Reese’s and then layered with brownie batter. Recipe after recipe of disgustingly sweet, and fatty foods.

My S.O. showed me a video of a restaurant that serves hamburgers that you dip into a cheese sauce; like, the whole burger. Restaurants serve milkshakes piled with other treats, together adding up to over a day’s worth of calories. A regular fast food restaurant doing deals so you can buy two sandwiches for the price of one, and they’re both calorie-bombs.

At work, a co-worker brings in baked good every day (Brownies, lemon bars, spice cake, etc). My co-workers eat four and five pieces and complain about the calories and keep eating. Laughing about getting diabetes. This is treated as a totally normal thing.

We, as a culture, make jokes about over eating (“It says ‘serves four’ but we know that means 'serves one.’ Amirite?”) We make jokes about eating entire pizzas by ourselves. (On that ticket, we also joke about drinking entire bottles of wine by ourselves.) We make jokes about counting calories (“I tried to lose weight counting calories. I lost count at 5,000.”) and treat counting a single calorie like it’s a full-blown eating disorder. We laugh about not exercising, (“Wait, you said exercise? I heard "Extra fries!”“)

Fat Activists complain they can’t eat anything but salad in public without being judged. So many people have commented when I do it, that I DON’T eat salad in public in anymore. Going to restaurants with friends, co-workers, or acquaintances, I order anything but the salad, because it always turns into a chorus of "Oh, look at thetruebodyposi, being healthy, making us look bad, hahaha, pardon me while I eat real food. How do you survive on bunny food?” Every. fucking. time.

I’m tired. I’m tired of a culture that pushes sugar down my throat. I’m tired of a culture that treats overeating as self-care. I’m tired of a culture that punishes eating raw vegetables and watching your caloric intake like it’s a cardinal sin. I’m tired of people looking at me weird and saying they don’t exercise ever and laugh about it when I talk about getting more athletic. I’m tired of a culture that promotes laziness and eating an entire day’s worth of calories in one shitty fast food meal. I’m tired of hearing about set points and starvation mode and how some people’s bodies treat calories differently and how some people literally cannot lose weight, and why do they insist on putting arms on chairs in public?!  

I’m tired of obesity. I’m tired of a culture that promotes it. I’m tired of the community that fights for me to accept it as normal.

STOP using FOOD as a REWARD

🌸°🌻°•🌼🌻🌸🌻°•☆•🌼🌻°•☆•°🌸

No, you do not deserve that cake/cookie/candy/cheesy greasy thing.

You DO deserve a hot bath, a new candle, a lazy day with a book or Netflix,

this is my personal shopping list.

i live with my parents still and like to cook for myself but i’ll try to divide it up so its useful to everyone (i’m doing this in hopes that there are more options to make life a bit easier not to promote anything)

basics

stevia (0kcal sweetener, no artificial additives, vegan/vegeterian friendly, comes in both powder and tablet form)

alternative milk- almond milk is the lowest kcal especially unsweetened, but i personally prefer hazelnut milk since i don’t use milk much so i don’t need it to be as low as almond

scales - this might mean cooking scales or a personal one but either way your going to panic later if its not electric

a nice numbered water bottle - its best to have one that suits your daily life and that you get attached to because water is so important (stay hydrated uwu)

vitimins - as an ana its likely you’ll become deficient so if your not planning on recovery soon at least take a minimum of a good daily multivitamin. (the vitamins i take to help with weight loss are: b6, b12, D and fish oil)

cooking basics

spray oil - this helps so much since you can easily count how much per spritz and never accidentally add too much

carrots (theyre super low at 40kcal per 100g which is around 1 large carrot)

flavour cubes- these are only up to around 10kcal and if your not bothered to cook a whole soup just hot water + one of these or even just sucking on them apparently cures cravings and fills you up (i havnt tried yet)

spring onions- 7kcal for a large one which is normally enough for whatever im making if not too much. i personally love these because of the flavour and colour it adds and started using them instead of white onion

low kcal juices can be a life saver when your craving sweet things

fruit. fruit. fruit of course check what your comfortable with but honestly 10/10- filling, sweet, aesthetically pleasing, looks and feels healthy and an amazing source of all those vitimins and nutrients your probably lacking

tea/ coffee- probably obvious but teas (especially green teas) and coffee have so many benefits

cauliflower rice/ cauliflower- this is is so good if your in love with rice since it is super low kcal especially in comparison 

shirataki noodles - super low kcal compared to normal

zucchini- when cut like noodles they are a super super low kcal alternative to have instead of noodles an they add some nice colour

“eat water slim noodles”- and other “eat water” products (spaghetti and rice etc) are only around 9kcal a portion and i personally love them

(im so sorry so many of these are noodles you can probably see my bias here)

🌙I can’t control my facial structure

🌙I can’t control how other people view me

Going from 232lbs to 198lbs

This post is strictly for fat, overweight, and obese anorexic people. If you are in a healthy percentile BMI wise, do not use this guide. 

Also, another disclaimer, I am not pro-Ana. I am just someone who has struggled with disordered eating for a very long time. If you are new to ed Tumblr, under 17 years old, or trying to recover- do not view this post.

1. Food

Ah, the dreaded four letter word. When I first started to “manage” my weight, I went cold turkey. I believed that food was the cause of my weight gain, so I lowered my kcal intake to under 500kcals a day. This “diet” lasted for around a week due to the strain on my body from working, going to school, and general stress. My immediate reaction to this change in habit was a relapse and more weight gain. So, when I realized 500kcals ended in disaster, I started to re-think my plan. 

To my discovery, food in general isn’t the cause of weight gain, it’s portion sizes and the way our bodies get used to them. Eating large becomes a habit… a life style, something that is so addicting and hard to pull away from. Over eating is a vice for a lot of us. So here’s some advice from me in this category-

- Get rid of all your trigger food and replace with healthy alternatives. Seriously. I had to give away my pasta/noodles, my Oreos, tortilla chips, sugary drinks, and sweets. To replace them I bought gluten free/ protein pasta, plantain chips, fruits&berries, veggies, and sugar free/low cal treats/ drinks. 

- Eat a balanced diet. Here’s what I mean by that!

Instead of loading up on empty calories like sugar, carbs, or alcohol. Make sure your meals are something your body can digest and use as long lasting energy. You could eat the meal on the right 2x a day and still lose weight. Don’t throw away your allowed calories. Make sure to eat protein!!

Here is a picture of some low calorie foods, and some of the things I eat on a daily basis:

- Lower your kcal intake slowly. Weight loss is all about making and hitting goals. To get started, first, lower your caloric intake to something manageable. For example, I started at 1,500kcals. If you can manage a strict intake of 1,500 kcals, that is a very, very good start. When you start to get comfortable, go ahead and lower it by 100kcals and so on. Your stomach will shrink. I am currently trying to eat under 1,000kcals, and now that I’ve gotten my body used to eating a lower amount, the constant hunger and cravings I had in the past aren’t as strong as they used to be. Make sure to have an idea of how much you are eating everyday by keeping a mental note OR using a fitness app.

- Drink water, tea, and coffee. Nuff’ said. Usually when I’m hungry, I’m actually thirsty. 

- Read the serving sizes on the packaging and measure your food accordingly. Remember, the only way you gain weight is by OVER eating, not just “eating”. If you go out for fast food or use a prepackaged product make sure to either eat the recommended amount OR less. Measure accurately and make sure you’re sticking to your daily allowance of calories.*If you go out to a restaurant with no access to calorie information, practice the next tip below. 

- Practice mindful eating.  Eat with friends, family, and/or people you love. Pay attention to the flavors, chew your food well (helps with digestion), take a moment to think between bites. Drink water while enjoying your meal I used to be the worst fast eater. I could scarf a plate down in less than 5 minutes. Food is not a vice anymore, enjoy eating in a healthy way. Appreciate the meals you are allowing yourself to eat. Drink water while you eat. A meal should last you 30 minutes, it takes 20 minutes for your body to recognize you’re full. *If out at a restaurant take your time and eat slowly- remember the 20 minute rule. If you feel any signs of being full after eating slowly, save the rest of your food for later.

- Don’t be afraid to say no to food. Almost over your daily calorie intake and someone offers you seconds? Hanging out with friends and tempted to snack? Don’t. These are the hard choices you have to learn to make. People aren’t a healthy weight because they eat at every opportunity they get. Most people with healthier eating habits have learned/grown up with the ability to control their food intake and realize how their body feels in the moment. For people like me, I had to learn how to make these daily choices and decisions. Weirdly enough I could probably eat huge portions of food anytime of the day if I allowed myself to, but… I don’t want to be 232lbs again.

2. Exercise

So… I feel like the reason I’ve been big for a long time is because of my anxiety and aversion to exercise. I hate it, still, to this day. Every bone in my body wants to stay inside when I get ready for my daily walk/run and yoga. Not only do I hate the way I look when I exercise, the feeling is just… hard to get into. 

The shitty truth is that most everyone needs exercise, especially overweight people. 

This is where I had to face facts, I was not going to lose weight or get healthier without taking this huge step. So I started exercising again while also respecting my own boundaries.

Here are my tips to help with exercise anxiety and get into routine exercise.

- Start with indoor exercises. When I first started to rekindle my relationship with exercise, I started with three amazing & FREE videos. At only 8 minutes each, these work out videos from the 80′s are super fun, easy going, encouraging, and perfect for beginners. Jamie, the incredibly 80′s looking guy shows you through ab exercises, leg and butt exercises, and arm exercises. 

Abs

Buns

Arms

Do these exercises 4/7 days a week until you get comfortable, when you’re physically ready, you can ad as many days/times as you’d like. As a general warning, if you haven’t exercised in a while (I feel u), these will hurt a bit and take a while to get used to. Please don’t give up, but make sure to not push yourself to the point of injury. It’s important to tackle the middle ground.

- Walk. Take a portion of your phone/undesignated time and walk. Literally, throw on a pair of earbuds, download a podcast or music, and take a nice long walk. Breath. Make some peace within yourself. Enjoy being alone, enjoy the thing you’re listening to, the pebbles under your feet, the trees moving with the breeze. This isn’t exercise if you don’t want it to be, use it as a way to clear your mind. Walk as slowly as you need to, take a few hills if you’re comfortable. I would recommend these walks to be around 20 minutes to an hour or two.

- Dance. Alone in your room, cover up mirrors and forget about what you look like, turn on your favorite jams and just…. dance. Dance until you get sweaty, have fun :)

- For people who are 21+ or have your med-card, smoke some weed. For me, a nice sativa takes away the mental gymnastics exercise normally throws my way. I use marijuana as not only a snack replacer, but a way to calm down before throwing myself into an hour of exercise. Makes for an amazing post-workout shower. 

- Running, it sucks, but here’s how I got started.

3. Mental games, mind over matter.

Losing weight is a purely mental game. It’s a trial of willpower and emotion control. A lot of us use eating/controlling how we eat as a form of stress management and coping with life. Most of us have other mental issues than just disordered eating. Many of us (like myself) are dealing with past traumas, stress in daily life, diagnosed anxiety and depressive disorders, and other mental illnesses. I have found that usually, eating disorders accompany other mental hardships. When things seem out of control, I turn to a few things…

So, here’s my advice on that. 

- Go to a therapist. Talk about your life with someone who won’t judge you. My therapist has been there throughout the worst periods of my life, whether it be in the middle of a binge, a fast, parental abuse, stressful work situations, past traumas… She is always there to talk, and it has helped me immensely.

- See a doctor if you are depressed. I was medicated for a while, and that helped me get off the ground with self improvement. 

- If you’re at a point where you need to distract yourself from binging… Clean. Cleaning is a great way to get on the same page with yourself. It’s a form of exercise, a way to organize your life, and an amazing appetite killer. 

Clean your bathroom, your room, or the living room. Try and avoid the kitchen, when I’m at my most vulnerable binging points, my will power will be broken by lingering in the kitchen.

- Focus hard on goals unrelated to weight-loss. I tend to get obsessed with my process… I have a whole blog about it. It’s unhealthy. Anorexia does shit like that. But the way that I try to combat the obsession of thinking about it, is to think about my other goals. Currently I am going to community college and trying to get into University for Japanese language and culture. When I feel that I am overthinking a meal, or exercise, or what I ate today, I try very hard to shift my focus towards practicing and working on school. That’s just me though. Do something that means something to you to try and rid the obsessive thoughts that seems to make weightless go even slower. 

- If you have the money (I don’t sometimes), buy yourself a present. Idc what it is, go online shopping and look for something. It’s distracting, fun, and it’s more of a fun wait than a stressful one. I recently just bought myself some bulk tea leaves in a bunch of interesting flavors along with a new teapot.

- Get high and take a shower. Again, this is for people who are allowed to smoke weed… But let me tell you, the amount of times I’ve gotten high and cried or floated my emotions out in the shower is… too many to count. This is a great way to de-stress, reset yourself, and practice positive self talk. After you’re done, make yourself some tea, throw on a facemask, and watch your favorite show.

Holy shit you guys… I spent like two hours writing this!!!! If any of you have more questions, comments, concerns, or things you’d like to add- 

My asks and Dms are always open.

🌹Don't lower your goal weight. Ever. Don't forget that it's enough.

🥀 When your stomach passes the flat point and starts caving in you've gone to far and you need to stop that shit.

🌷If you're passing out at work you need to eat more.

🌺 If it's too hard to lift normal things such as milk jug, PlayStation, table chairs, you need more calories.

🌸 Don't work out every day of the week.

🏵️ When you find yourself saying "fuck this" and eating everything in your house, you're restricting too hard.

🌻 Always drink lots of water throughout the day whether or not you're fasting.

🌼 Keep in mind that you may gain and loose the same 3 lbs of water or food weight throughout the week and it's not fat.
