Tips to get through cravings

Most of these I've probably posted before. Oh well.

• Find a time consuming hobby (drawing, sports, sewing)
• Practice hygiene (brush your hair/teeth/bathe/shower)
• Put salt or mustard on your tongue
• do a 30 second plank
• put on shorts and a tank top and look in the mirror
• Drink a bottle of water as fast as you can
• Do jumping jacks 
• Snap a rubber band on your wrist anytime you think about food
• Listen to some good music and try writing
• Work on your blog/get on facebook
• Look at bathing suits, summer vaca is coming up
• Warm tea

Chia Seeds

Have you ever wanted there to be a food that was low calorie, healthy, small, but fills you up? 

Well look no further there is such a thing! 

~CHIA SEEDS~

(that is a link to a page that talks all about them!!)

They are high in fiber and many other things! You can do so much with them as they have no flavour! Put them in water and they make a calorie-free gel! They expand in your stomach to give the appearance of eating, without actually eating! 

Anyway they are absolutely profound! A true gift from Ana herself! Best part of all they are CHEAP! 

Thank you for reading :) Have a lovely day ^_^

A MAJOR THANK YOU TO MY AMAZING WEIGHT LOSS BUDDY FOR THIS TIP!! :D

Do all Ana's have this in common?

Pizza...Seriously do all of us with an eating disorder crave it beyond normal standards? Do all of us end up cheating on our diet with pizza? Because I struggle with pizza it is my one weak spot, that and chocolate chip pop tarts...(Disgusting right? Once a fat bitch always a fat bitch) I just wish it wasn't so damn good! It makes me feel guilty, worthless, and nasty with every bite but I can never stop myself.

NOTICE: I did not eat any today or during my fast, it has just been on my mind since there is...cheese pizza..in the freezer..

Mother FUUU-

So why am I posting? Because I want to EAT! Because the fat bitch inside of me, the girl who wants to keep me miserable and FAT, wants me to fucking eat. Not eat, that is humane, she wants me to binge if you can even call it that, there is not a food in the world you could name that I don't want to shove in my face right now! UGH and I have probably peed 7 fucking times in the past hour no exaggeration or joking, I am serious. I am so sick of going to the bathroom and feeling nauseated from drinking more and more water. Fuck! I am just so sick and tired of it, and I am freezing but I am too scared to leave my room to get my laundry, and to turn air up because if I do I will convince myself just to look at the food, then chew and spit, and then have some, and some more, and some more, and some fucking more!! HELP ME!!! 

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!

If you haven't seen this before (picture below) then read it, very, very helpful!! <3

Pizza

Dominos, how you tempt me so

No, I most certainly do not want a 150 calorie per slice piece of pizza, even if it does have spinach and feta cheese as toppings, even if it does smell really good. I refuse to throw all my hard work down the drain for a few seconds of pleasure in which will ultimately lead to me feeling guilty, fat and disgusting and thus me awake all night once more to work off the damage in which has been done. So no I say, I do not want a slice of your fattening pizza!

Oh because I know, pizza, what you have in store for me! Yes, you will only make me fat and bitter, you will only make me binge and hate myself more! You are truly evil to do that! To do this to my body:

Well I don't want to look like that! I would much rather starve and turn the other way so that one day I will reach my goal weight and look like this:

So no, I do not want a slice of pizza.

Cravings, and curbing that appetite!

All right, so I found out that by drinking crystal light (energy, peach mango flavour) you can not only stop hunger, but also cravings when water fasting. Though you really are not supposed to do this on water fasts, it is better to do this than just completely fuck up and eat. It is only 5 calories and gives you energy boost to work out longer, one packet per water bottle and lasts you like all day! I promise if you have not tried it you will love it and not regret it at all! Those 5 calories are so worth it because they save you from the potential hundreds. 

Drink up!!

Cravings

OK, so I finally know what cravings really are and what to do about them or at least how to get rid of them completely, obviously if you crave chocolate you need a substance in which may be in chocolate right? Or is it something else... maybe you crave it because of the sugar withdraw...Well watch this video it explains everything I am trying to say much, much better:
