having an ed is drinking coffee all fucking day long, fantasizing about your next shit, craving the hollow feeling of starvation, but loving food more than anyone else ever.

There is literally no reason why you shouldn’t be doing these workouts ESPECIALLY if you’re in bed. You can do this! You reach that UGW
Made by: ThisIsAnaMyFriend
- Simultaneously eating like a normal person and mentally lashing yourself for it.
- Not eating when you feel angry or sad, but then a few hours later you eat a bag of chocolate marshmallows because you somehow convince yourself it doesn’t count.
- “I shouldn’t have done that”
- Looking at thinspo at night and crying because you feel ugly
- The 5th grader pitch screaming in your head as you take another bite of food.
- a week of super healthy eating and working out followed by two weeks of unhealthy eating
- constantly shifting of wanting to look like a toned fitness model, to a thicc slim, to a skeleton fairy
- *eating something* *someone comments on the thing you are eating* *stops eating thing* *50/50 chance you may eat it later*
- oh yeah, random moments of eating something before spontaneously destroying the food or tossing it
- “Okay, after this weekend, I’m fasting”
- wishing you were anorexic knowing you shouldn't
- body dysmorphia
- Calling it disordered eating because you don’t feel deserving of calling it an ed
How to keep going when you've lost motivation:
Remember why you started.
Think about how far you've come. It would be a waste to just give up now.
You do this because you can't stand the way you feel right now. Change for the better.
Every single decision you make will lead to a result. It could be a good one or a bad one. It's your choice.
It's gonna be hard for the first couple days, but your body gets used to it. It gets easier.
You'd feel like a failure if you just gave up and ended up back where you started.
You never feel good after binging.
You are strong af! You can do anything if you just try hard enough!
You deserve to love yourself.
You deserve to be happy.
When all this is over you'll feel proud of yourself and there is nothing better than that.
🌸 stay safe 🌸

I don't think many people get it, but
if you join the "ana community" you are already in. Yes, the goal is to lose weight, but there is actually a reason you do this the unhealthy way. Ever thought that if you ate healthily instead of starving or binging or purging you would be thinner by now? Yea. Can't give it up now can you? Cause there is a problem within you that you probably aren't ready to face or are tired of facing. Either way you don't know how to cope anymore so you focus on food. That one constant that is always there when shit goes downhill. Can't get out because you are way too deep in.
So i basically get so used to hide behind some excuses and developed binging cycles for a year. I was the person who eats out once in a year but now almost three or four days a week i order food outside. Thats insane and i didn’t even workout. I gained so much weight. I have to get my shit back together. So this is what i’m going to do.
💛Drink 2-3 Liters every day.
💛Applying some diet plans so i will eat in order.
💛Daily workouts.
Here is my workout program;
Strech in the morning for 30-40 minutes.
In the noon before swimming 15 minutes stretch, 15 minutes of workout program.
Swimming for one or one and a half hour.
After swimming stretches and body care.
In the evening one hour workout.
Exercises in the program;
ed shows/movies you recommend?? i’ve seen supersize vs super skinny and to the bone :)
Day 8
me after not eating all day only to binge and tell everyone online about it:
you could become the girl at the beach, with long slim legs and collarbones holding tiny pools of water.
you could be the girl wearing size 00 denim shorts, held up by a belt, wearing a strappy crop top that rides up, exposing a flat stomach and hourglass waist
you could be the girl with sweat sitting on your face like a radiant glow. who needs contour when your cheekbones could cut a bitch all on their own?
you could be the recipent of the inevitable post-quarantine compliments: “wow, you look amazing!” “have you lost weight?” “i’m so jealous of you!” “your body is actually goals”
you could be happy.
or…
you could become the girl at the beach, wearing a t-shirt and athletic shorts to cover up as much as she can, cowering in the shade underneath her umbrella, afraid of being judged.
you could be the girl wearing leggings on a 90 degree day so as not to expose your fat thighs, watching as a girl in a cute strappy crop top and denim shorts laughs and jokes with her friends.
you could be the girl who sits inside, too self-conscious to leave the house and sweat off your makeup.
you could be an onlooker as people shower your friends with compliments, giving forced smiles and praise, while wanting to curl up and cry on the inside.
you could be the girl regretting everything.
the choice, as always, is yours.
I’m so ready to lose all my extra fat so I can start gaining even more muscle. The only thing standing in my way of being as perfect as I want to be is myself.
I can do this!
what you eat in private, you wear in public.
dont binge.
i decided to start this diet but i didn’t like any of the photos that were on google so i made my own!
byee i used the wrong twt, its @/kailbs 😐😐
i am the single most ugly thing to exist.
My boyfriend is going to take me to his place for the rest of the month so I can't fast for an extended period of time so I'm going to attempt the Fix it Fast diet. I always wondered if it actually works and now I'm going to find out. If I eat more than intend I'll have to exercise it off or the day is a fail.
Idk my CW but I'll keep you updated ❤ wish me luck✨ Feel free to send meanspo and sweetspo cause I'll probably need it
this is why i’m on right now :/
Guys I can't be alone in this,
Did y'all ever just try to recover for like a few months and then relapsed but your ed is different?
Like before the recovery attempt you could go weeks without binges and exercise everyday no question
And know that you've relapsed you want your ed to be at its "worst" again but now if u make it past 3 days it's a miracle?? 🤔
I can't be the only one who feels extremely nostalgic for the worst time if their life?
over the years, i have been taught what certain cravings mean and how i can replace them in a healthy way. so i figured, why not share it with you guys?
if you crave chocolate…
your body needs magnesium. a quick fix for this is raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits.
if you crave sweets…
your body might need some of the following:
-chromium - have some broccoli, grapes, cheese, or chicken.
-carbon - chow down on some fresh fruit.
-phosphorus - chicken, eggs, legumes, or grains can help.
-tryptophan - similar to magnesium, have some raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits.
if you crave bread or toast…
your body needs nitrogen. have some high protein foods such as fish, meat, nuts, or beans.
if you crave fatty foods…
your body needs calcium. broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.
if you crave alcohol…
your body might need some of the following:
-protein - think seafood, dairy, or nuts.
-avenin - chow down on some granola or oatmeal.
-calcium - broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.
-potassium - bitter greens or seaweed usually do the trick.
if you crave ice cream/shaved ice…
your body needs iron. some suggestions are fish, greens, seaweed, or black cherries.
if you crave burned or grilled food…
your body needs carbon. chow down on some fresh fruits.
if you crave soda and carbonated drinks…
your body needs calcium. broccoli, kale, legumes, or cheese help.
if you crave salty foods…
your body needs chloride. goat milk (yes i know that’s a little odd) and fish help.
if you crave acid foods (burgers)…
your body needs magnesium. just like chocolate, have some raw nuts and seeds, legumes, or fresh fruits.
if you crave cool drinks (milkshakes or malts)…
your body needs manganese. some suggestions are walnuts, pecans, almonds, pineapple, or blueberries.
if you’re PMS-ing…
your body needs zinc. red meat, seafood, leafy greens, and root vegetables are helpful.
if you’re overeating…
your body might need some of the following:
-silicon - nuts and seeds are a quick fix.
-tryptophan - eat some cheese, raisins, sweet potatoes, or spinach.
-tyrosine - vitamin c supplements should do the trick.
if you crave tobacco…
your body might need some of the following:
-silicon - nuts and seeds help, but stay away from refined starches.
-tyrosine - vitamin c supplements or red, orange, or green fruits and veggies can help.
