always reward yourself with non-food items.
buy some new clothes,
do some face masks,
dance to your favourite song,
take progress photos and look at them next to your SW,
for once, list the things you’re starting to like about yourself!
you’re doing great.
So I watched the documentary ‘THIN’ (you can find it on YouTube) for the millionth time. Polly (r.i.p) does this thing where she will take a sip of water between every bite of food. I tried it out and here are my thoughts:
(Also I know this is supposed to be a doc against eating disorders, but it really triggers me so…)
•if you struggle with drinking lots of water like me, this helps you reach your daily water intake! I had almost two glasses of water with one small meal!
•it fills you up a lot quicker, usually I will eat and still be hungry after, this time I couldn’t even finish my food!
•helps with digestion, also helps thing move along a bit quicker
The fat is closing in on me,
It’s crushing like a stone,
Tearing me down, piece by piece,
Keeping me from my bony throne,
All I want is to be thin,
Is that so much to ask,
But standing outside, looking in,
This fat is like a mask,
It suffocates and poisons my life,
Pervading my peace with misery,
Confining me in a cage,
A spiraling trap of gluttony,
The world tells us to be fat,
Always warm and full of food,
But the pain from cold and hunger,
Is what ana tells me is good.
So when I see those calories,
Staring at me from the plate,
I simply smile, push them away,
And say “I already ate.”
☕️ “You’ve lost so much weight!”
☕️ “How did you lose all that weight?”
☕️ People not recognizing you
☕️ Looking great in clothes that made you embarrassed before
☕️ Progress pics
☕️ “You’re so much skinnier than me now!”
☕️ Looking bomb when playing sports
☕️ Having one less insecurity
☕️People giving you all the attention you’ve ever dreamed of
hunger hurts but starving works.
skip dinner, wake up thinner.
hungry to bed and hungry to rise makes a girl smaller in size
nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.
everytime you say no to food, you say yes to thin.
self control equals success.
make them regret calling you fat.
this is for me.
you’re not hungry. you’re bored.
no craving is stronger than your willpower.

Reblog this for other people!
Alright, we all fast. Some do it for 12 hours, some for 72 hours.
What happens when I fast?
First 3-6 hours:
-your body is using up all the sugar and carbs (glucose) in your body. You feel normal. It’s all good.
6-36 hours
-your body is now using fat cells (and will continue to do so after this point as well) but it’s not what your brain wants, so you might be craving foods like pasta and bread and very sweet things because your brain literally thrives on carbs and such
After 36 hours:
-your body is now using PROTEIN to get its energy, you might be experiencing muscle cramps because your body is breaking down muscles and fat to get the energy it needs.
Tips:
-drink water!! Not only does it keep you healthy but your body is losing a ton of water because carbohydrates cling to water, so when they’re being used, so is the water.
-drink 0 cal vitamin water. You need vitamins especially if you’re doing a particularly long fast. It keeps your brain healthy along with everything else.
-if you feel like you’re going to pass out, but do not want to eat, you may have low blood sugar. A spoon full of honey should help (or a small bottle of juice)
-after 36 hours of 0 cal fasting, if you still don’t want to break the fast, try doing a liquid one (so things like fruit juice, watered down tomato soup, almond milk etc)
-IF YOU ARE DRIVING DURING A FAST, DONT! Your reaction time, and overall reflexes/thought processes are hindered MAJORLY after about 15 hours.
-gum. sugar free gum is a life saver when cravings pop up (normally about 17 hours in for me)
-coffee/caffeine pills/diet pills are all great 0 cal appetite suppressants !
-0 cal sweeteners like Splenda can make water or green tea taste great.
After Fasting:
Your stomach should have shrank if you fasted more than 15 hours, so when breaking a fast:
-try something high carb, low cal, such as plain oatmeal (100) and half a banana with cinnamon (60)
-eat it slowly so that you have time to register that you’re full, a too full stomach after a fast hurts!
-then wait at least 3 hours before your next meal, which should include some protein
-make sure you don’t binge!!
I love you

Knowing you’re hungry, but saying no to food anyway.
Looking at food and seeing calories.
You don’t need to eat that.
Food does not control you.
You are in control.
Of what you eat.
When you eat.
How much you eat.
You have control.
So many give up because they can’t see progress. But honestly, if you stick to your diet, no matter if you cut down to 1000kcal or 800kcal, you will see a change. It’s science. You starve -> You’ll lose weight.
The only thing that’s making you want to give up is time. And time, my friend, is an illusion. Keep that in mind.
