Ways to fight those cravings
If you can, drink a diet soda. Diet Coke, Coke Light, literally any of those. They make you feel full and bloated for a while, honestly amazing. Recommend 10/10
If you have one of those great fridges that give you ice (I don’t, sadly) EAT THE ICE. Seriously, it’s fantastic.
Get a spoon and fill it with vinegar. White one, not the red one (just in case). It’s like magic for me. Also, if you drink a spoonful in the morning, you can lose weight pretty easily. It’s a tip my abuelita gave me lol
Hang out with someone, call a friend, try not to stay alone. Hell, go shopping with your mom, it’s worth it. When you’re alone, your mind can convince you that it won’t matter, but believe me it will. In the morning when you weigh yourself, every calorie will count.
If you can, go for a walk. Have a pet? Perfect! Don’t have one/it’s not walk-able? Doesn’t matter, just walk! (I’m not saying to take your boa constrictor for a walk tho. Don’t do that)
Ok, this is weird, but it works just fine for me. Watch some buzzfeed tasty videos, or just any kind of food making related video. The greasier the better. You have no idea how amazing that is.
Or, you can watch like, a culinary show (personally I love The Big Family Cooking Showdown by BBC. So pure, so wholesome)
Try and write down every food you’re craving. Every single one. Even the weirdest, even if you’re actually dying for a bagel with cheese and smoked pineapple, write it down. Then, Google the calories and write them next to the food. Believe me, you won’t be craving it as much. And afterwards, you can keep the paper if you can, so next time you’ll be able to look at it and stop yourself from binging.
Make an edit! I personally love making mood boards, and they’re great for stress and cravings! Also, drawing works (I think) but I can’t draw for shit so I don’t really know.
If you can make something creative, or anything that takes your mind off of things, do it.
If you can, go to the bathroom and weigh yourself. Now, what my doctor said to me is that your actual weight is the one you see in the morning, but still. Weigh yourself while naked, that’s important. Then, make a list (can be written if you want!) of all the things you’re looking forward to see. Ex. In my list I’d write:
Listen to music or watch a movie/TV show. Yeah, I know this is #basic but it can work miracles.
Do your homework! In my school, we get 5 hours minimum of homework every afternoon, so it’s really all I do. Rip.
If you have an ana buddy, text them!
Go through the thinspo tag. Or ana tag. Just, watch all those skinny people and have fun.
This is it guys! Maybe I’ll do a part 2, but for now I’m done. Hope I helped some of you💖
