Call yourself on your own bullshit

• NUMBER ONE: If you are trying to fast, do not under any circumstances try to reward yourself after with a treat, do not eat anything you aren't supposed to during, before, or after. If it is a water/coffee/juice/liquid no food fast then do NOT be fucking stupid and eat. Keep water bottles in your room if you must but stay AWAY from the kitchen. 

• NUMBER TWO: Your number one warning signs are if you begin to make excuses to eat, cheat, or end your fast early or if you try to talk yourself into eating. **ANYTHING SIMILAR IS A WARNING.** What do you do? Well:

1. avoid the kitchen / food
2. drink tons of *recommended*water*recommended*  (or juice/coffee whatever your fast allows)
3. Watch tons of thinspo videos on YouTube, look at tons of thinspo pictures online
4. Go to a mirror lift up your shirt and stare at your stomach for at LEAST 5 minutes (don't you dare look away!) Then look at your thighs, arms and butt, pinch and prod your face and body until you are so disgusted food is the last thing on your mind.
5. Sit down, really, really think hard, try to remember the after-binge feeling once the fullness sets in, remember how shitty you feel, how all you want to do is stay up all night trying to work it off, remember how bad you want to punish yourself. Is that what you want? 
6. Just remember, if you eat you WILL feel like shit. Is a few moments of satisfaction worth the hours and hours of hell you will give yourself afterwards?

NUMBER THREE: "I will only eat this, besides it is healthy" for fucks sake, I cannot tell you how many times I have done this, I do this during ever fast/diet, I do this nearly anytime I cut more food out of my diet. YOU.WILL.BINGE. Do not eat it, put the food back/down and walk away right then. 

1. Avoid the kitchen/food
2. If you feel a binge coming, take a bath/shower, spend a lot of time on washing your hair and body, spend at least 30-45 minutes shaving your legs/arms and really pamper yourself. 
3. Shut your doors and oil up the knobs (you can just use lotion), spend a long time painting / filing your nails to perfection, can't leave unless you want to mess them up really bad.
4. blast music, turn on the TV, try to focus on the TV and the music it will distract you PERFECTLY!

NUMBER FOUR: Make a schedule. 

What I mean by this is, when I fast I always binge/cheat between 9pm and 3am (I sleep till 3pm and stay up all night from insomnia to explain the weird hours), so between the hours of 9 and 3 I am doing everything within my power to keep my mind and hands occupied, keeping my stomach filled with water and trying my best to keep as much thinspiration around as possible. Do you understand? You really need to pay attention to stuff like this so that you can MAKE A PLAN so that it will never happen again, stop the binge/starve/fast/binge/binge/starve/fast/binge cycle once and for all!
