Tips: prevent a binge

To Do List: 

• Count as high as you need to, to calm down/redirect your thoughts and assess the situation
• Read anything you've written about binging/wanting to fast or make a list of reasons you should not eat
• Take a deep breath and down as much water as possible
• Keep telling yourself that you will eat as soon as you finish another glass of water
• Look at some thinspo:

Distractions:

• Make a list of all the foods you would like you eat/are craving and look up what REALLY goes into those foods (i.e. peanut butter = insect particles, rodent hairs)
• Watch that show/movie you heard about but never got around to: 

Shows & Movies Online (Legal and Free, no download or surveys)

• Write out a new diet plan/weight loss plan
• Make a list of things you will reward yourself with instead of food
• Write down / Remind yourself why you want to lose weight
• Listen to music and day dream/write fan fiction
• Read fanfiction or stories on Wattpad.com
• Tumblr/Twitter
• Drink lots of cold water and favourite tea (1 tbsp of creamer is 10 calories, splenda sugar 0 calories)
• Watch shows/movies/videos that trigger you, especially with actresses/actors whose body you want
• Go through your Ana book/journal if you have one
• Write down everything you're feeling, what is helping and what isn't (this will help for next time) add it to your ana book/journal

COUNT TO 10 AND BREATHE

YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS WITHOUT BINGING
