disclaimer: i am in no way promoting ana. i am pro-recovery. these are just some things that i have learned and wish to share with those who may be struggling with cravings

TW // ED 

1. drink water. lots of water. 

2. suck on ice cubes 

3. nap. yes i know i shouldn’t but i do anyway. oops?

4. watch a series or a bunch of movies. i recommend julia roberts romcoms from the early 90′s because she’s great thinspo + tvd because nina dobrev has amazing collarbones

5. play the sims 4. that game consumes my brain like no other. 

6. pathetically enough, watch one direction complications on youtube. 

7. listen to my thinspo playlist on spotify 

8. drink a glass of almond breeze almond milk. the original kind is only 60 cals per cup and really helps when im craving something sweet. 

9. make myself some green tea. 

10. go through  tumblr + twt for meanspo and bonespo

11. look on shein at all of the wonderful, trendy clothes i’ll be able to wear once i reach my ugw

from ur (not so) friendly PRO RECOVERY wine mom:

- too much green tea can be dangerous. theres a fuck ton of caffeine in there, u can’t drink it at night and expect to fall asleep in a heartbeat. if ur not sleeping, cut back those 5 cups a day to maybe 2 cups. even if u do sleep but drink a crapton of green tea, cut back. ur heart may be in danger. 

- i don’t know where the fuck y'all got that apple cider vinegar “helps weight loss” cuz it doesn’t. it has metabolic benefits but jesus christ DONT shot it like its vodka on ur 21st bday. if u wanna take ACV, put no more than a spoonful in a BIG glass of water, and make sure u eat afterwards. and only take it ONCE a day preferably in the morning. u don’t want a big acid burn in ur stomach. 

- carbs are good. carbs are friends. carbs are energy that ur body needs. it doesn’t matter where u get ur carbs from, just eat some. complex carbs (from veggies and fruits) are better than simple carbs (pasta, pizza), but only cuz they take longer to be digested, therefore keeping u full for longer. simple carbs are better than no carbs at all.

- u know whats not energy? SUGAR. avoid processed sugary stuff. ALSO avoid artificial sweeteners cuz jesus christ those are cancerogenic. if u want sugar in ur coffee, put brown sugar. avoid processed as much as possible.  

- don’t take meds on an empty stomach unless EXPLICITLY told to. eat something, anything, before gulping down ur pills. and take them with water, no soda, no alcohol (for fucks sake). water. u don’t want stomach ulcers, they’re fucking nasty. 

imagine an angry mom trying to keep you as safe as possible. thats me. 

some real non-toxic weight loss tips for ya!

negative calorie foods aren’t real

if you only do cardio you’re gonna be really flabby cause you lost ur muscles first

you wont get bulky from lifting low (10-15lb) weights you will just lose fat faster

you can drink too much water 

fats are not your enemy oh my god! if you eat fatty foods you stay full all day

you can lose up to 2 pounds a week if you eat a whopping 1,200 cals a day. seriously.

not eating enough slows metabolism = slower weight loss

the more carbs you eat the hungrier you are gonna get during the day

take ur damn multivitamin

you will be fine if you cheat on your diet once or twice. you wont gain anything from eating a single piece of cake. you could die tomorrow enjoy your life

lose it slow for minimum skin sagging

fruits have a lot of sugar, cut them out if you are taking the proper vitamins

spot training isn’t real you cant just lose it in one place

stress can make you retain weight. so, ironically, if you’re worried about losing all the time you will just lose it slower

track your weight loss with weekly measurements. The scale is addicting and usually inaccurate and you will feel a lot more accomplished this way.
