Things I don't recommend (3)

19. Binging and purging often. I don't recommend this because you only "get rid of" 80% of the calories you originally consumed. Say you binged at McDonald's and ate 3000 calories, you will only purge 2400 calories. 600 will still stay in your system... That's more than a day's worth of calories to some.
20. Drinking a lot of coffee. May I say again. Unneeded calories. Never drink more than 2 cups past 12 noon if you must have it, and mark the calories down.
21. Wearing a corset to slim your waist. You want to see REAL results, not corset results.
22. Choose just any thinspiration. No you should choose one with your body type. hourglass, pear, etc.
23. Eating the same foods everyday. Change it up. You will get bored too easily if you eat the same thing over and over.
24. Stop eating dairy. I don't recommend this. Cottage cheese is sometimes a meal to me, and yogurt.
25. Not adding soup to your diet. Really? Some are less than 100 calories for the whole can. That's a whole meal and is guaranteed to fill you up!
26. HCG diet. out of personal experience. It didn't do anything for me, at all. Why? Because I already eat a low calorie diet. And the HCG diet it is NOT FDA approved.
27. Eating a lot of fruit for a meal. It has a lot of nature sugar. 'Nuff said.

Quickie!

My grandparents came to visit for a few days and I had to give up my room, and was stuck in my mom's sewing room on an air mattress that didn't want to stay blown up. Needless to say I had the best excuse not to eat when we went to eat Mexican food. They asked if I was hungry I said I slept wrong and my back and head were hurting. I have related being in pain to not hungry with my parents over the past few years that way if "my head hurts," I don't have to eat in front of them. They always believe me and never force food down my throat the rest of the day.

Halloween tips

If you get invited to go out with friends, say you and our family had plans for the neighborhood kids and stay in if you aren't up for going out.
If you are one who goes trick or treating (I still do! my friends walk all around the lake with pillow cases so we burn SOO many calories in one night) then feel free to go out:) it's fun and like I said, you burn a lot of calories in one night just walking around.
Got all that extra candy and you know you should NOT eat it? donate it to the kids across the street saying you and your friends have way too much, take some
and put it in a bowl and put it in your room. Every day unwrap a few, throw away the candy, and leave the wrappers where your family and friends will see
them. They will think you joined in on the Halloween binging.
Remember what candy you threw away and take the trash out before someone else does. If there isn't a lot of trash in there somebody will see it.

Hiding it from others; A few more tips

Don't raise suspicions with anyone. Don't call yourself fat in front of others.
Go to the kitchen often, even just to get water and sit it there for a few minutes if no one else is in there. It will seem suspicious if you don't go in there often. (My parents say that's the only reason they know "know" I eat, cause I go back a forth a few times between lunch and dinner. I only get water or a small snack sometimes though:)
If people do start to ask questions, the worst thing to do is get angry. They will say you are being defensive and then it is obvious you are hiding something.
Do you share a computer with someone? Delete the history often!
If you do happen to purge, do so when people are still at the table or eating together. If you run water right after you eat, it becomes obvious. The rest of the time at the table just say you are full.
Another If You Purge tip, wear a glove and hold it on with the other hand so you don't swallow it. This prevents those burns on your hands that you can get.
Wearing make-up when you are in front of others is a good idea if you are starting to get pale.
Don't wear Too baggy of clothes, it becomes a bit obvious. wear between "these fit great" and "these are way too big"
Black is slimming but also bad in this case. wear brighter colors if you are up for it. Brighter colors make people think you are really happy and also they aren't as slimming and can distract people from noticing your ever shrinking body.
DOCTOR! Drink a ton of water ( I suggest Smartwater because it adds electrolytes) before you go in or a lot of water and a Gatorade. only 50 calories for a Gatorade.
If you can afford it, go for a tanning membership and go once or twice a week. Even if you are pale, you won't be for long. Most memberships cost around 30 dollars a month though.

A few more tips and tricks

Weight loss pills do help, but you can add a caffeine pill to it after knowing it's effect on you. It will help keep you energized if you start to lag a bit.
Get a buddy, someone else who is Ana or at least Pro Ana. It keeps you motivated and keeps you On Task!
If you feel like you have to eat a lot, eat in front of a mirror. Every bite will add weight to your body and you will see it.
Drinking coffee is alright occasionally but Tea is MUCH better. No calories and plenty of flavors to choose from.
If you are really craving something and just can't get it out of your head- go into the kitchen, get the food you want out take a bite and chew it. DO NOT SWALLOW IT. spit it out after a few bites and then wash your mouth out three or four times with water to make sure you don't swallow any unwanted calories.
(If this is like you) Pick one food a day once you've really got a habit going. Like an apple or orange. Cut it into 6 pieces and makes those your meals throughout the day
Don't be too afraid to have a snack every once in a while. Just make sure it is a very low to no calorie food.
Have a favorite model or actress you look up to for thinspiration? Keep pictures up of them up so you have constant triggers
Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
If you start to feel achy take a warm bath and drink some hot tea to relax. When you are out rub your legs (or where ever is sore) to relax the muscles. Trust me, this helps.
Vary your intake every few days. on the weekends add a few more calories that way you are more energized (since you are more likely to be around people more at this time).

Things I Do NOT recommend! (2)

10. Eating any kind of mints. No, you should definitely get sugar free. They have less calories.
11. Drinking only energy drinks. Bad Idea! It effects your heart.
12. Drinking only one type of tea. you could get tired of having just one flavor. However, If you are going to drink only one type make it Oolong tea. There are A LOT of benefits to this tea on top of weight loss
On the down side though, it can get pricey:/
13. Only marking your progress with a scale. Try measurements too, that way if you are retaining water you will be able to tell and write it down as water retention, not a plateau.
14. Excercising right before you eat. You will feel sick and will probably get a headache. Space these things out a bit.
15. Buying jeans 3 sizes to small. Buy the next size down, you will feel much better about your progress and will be able to track it easier:)
16. Marking off only one "bad" or "no no" food a week off your safe foods list. If you want to stay away make sure they are ALL marked off your list from the beginning. Otherwise you will be putting bad foods and MORE calories in your system for longer.
17. Only getting salads at restaurants. People will start to ask questions way to easily. Get a piece of fish or chicken. Added protein and even though you probably won't eat all of it people will see you are eating. And that is the goal in this case.
18. Drinking soda. You will get bloated and you will add more calories. So I don't recommend sodas whatsoever.
