reblog if you’re an active ana blog in jan 2021!!

Just because you’ve been offered food, does not mean you have to say yes and accept it.

Just because you’re craving an unhealthy food, does not mean you have to go out and buy it.

Some of the things i have noticed 

- Hair doesn’t get greasy anymore, it just doesn’t 

- There is less to wash, exfoliate, self tan, etc. (Honestly really notice this one in the shower, i used to have 20+ lbs more in my legs) 

- Moving with more ease 

- Food is cheap. Hello water over cocktails and an apple over spaghetti bolognese 

- Generally feeling smaller is a bit euphoric especially wrapped in blankets or trying on old clothes 

- Skin clears up because theres less oil production 

- Barely sweating (even while exercising or on a hot day) 

- Sunglasses/glasses are more flattering against a more angular face 

I am out of school due to corona and I’m being quarantined!

I will be fasting for a week, which will be easy since I will be at home the whole time and there’s no food at home! :)

The hard part will be the weekends since my mom loves to cook up a feast, but I will use being sick to my advantage!

I will be exercising at home and here are some of the exercises I will be doing:

Thigh gap:

Belly Fat:

Arm fat:

Diets:

Feel free to do them! I won’t be doing all of the diets but I will definitely try the last one!

> chamomile tea helps with a bloated stomach (you can also use it as a steamer if you have a cold, just put the hout the in a bowl, put a towel over your head and inhale the steam for a few minutes)

> green tea boots your metabolism and keeps you awake 

> lavender tea is good for insomnia or anxeity

> instant soups can be helpful if you’re craving something savoury

> if you’re tired of drinking plain water, make it fancy with some lemon juice or mint leaves

> freeze lemon water and suck on it if you’re craving something

I made a master list of all the books I’ve read (and some that I haven’t) on the topic of mental health. Some are memoirs and some are fiction and some are a mix of both. (Disclaimer: If you don’t like/ disagree with any of the books here, don’t come at me please - I didn’t write them!!)

I sorted the books by illness, and unfortunately some topics are far more written about than others so I couldn’t include everything but if you’ve got any suggestions I’m open to them :)

Also, there’s a book I read recently called That Was When People Started To Worry by Nancy Tucker and it’s a collection of short stories about people with different disorders so I couldn’t add it into one section, but I enjoyed it too much to leave it out. It includes depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, self-harm, disordered eating, PTSD and borderline personality disorder.

Finally, many of these books will be triggering, so please read with caution xx

Here’s a list of my safe foods and their calories

Oatmeal 148 cals per 40g (it fills me up soooo much and I can never finish a serving)

Celery 2 cals per stick

Cucumber 1 cal per slice

Spinach 25 cals

Raspberries 35 cals

Mangoes 120 cals for a whole mango! (These rlly fill you up and they’re soooo yummy)

Coffee (calories depend on what type but generally around 50 with cream)

Rice cakes 19 cals each

Hot chocolate 30 cals

Sweet potato 103 cals

Diet soda

Any tea!

That’s just a few that I really enjoy, the higher calorie foods are more filling ones that I’d have as a whole meal xx
