ana life hacks

• go to bed at dinnertime instead of eating

• the carbonation in diet soda (0cal) helps suppress your appetite (but make sure to drink plenty of water, tea, and coffee as well!)

• if you need a snack, eating celery, grapefruit, lemons, limes, apples, lettuce, and broccoli can burn over half the calories they’re worth !!

• some things you can do instead of eating: read an interesting book, go on tumblr, watch a scary movie, take a hot bath, take a nap, learn a new language, reorganize your room, go outside, hang out with a friend or s/o, ride a bike somewhere you’ve never been before, make a bullet journal, watch funny youtube videos, dye your hair, do homework, design a tattoo on your body with sharpie, write a story, etc.

• make a wishlist of skinny clothes you can buy as soon as you lose enough weight – ex. oversized sweaters, thigh high stockings, high waisted shorts/jeans, sundresses, crop tops, a new swimsuit, new bras/bralettes, etc. make sure to look at it daily for motivation !!

• always politely decline food offered to you if you don’t know how many calories it has !! don’t let other people be in control of your weight loss journey !

• make a thinspo lock and home screen !!

• mint suppresses your appetite – whenever you feel hungry, grab a piece of mint gum !! chewing it burns the calories it’s worth as well !

• color can affect your appetite ! eating off darker plates makes you less hungry, and the color blue can do the same thing (you could paint your nails blue or have a blue water bottle with you !)

• wear a rubber band / hair tie on your wrist and snap it whenever you’re hungry so your body associates hunger with that same pain !

• most importantly: be safe. this is not a list of life hacks for someone who wants to develop an eating disorder. this is a list for people who are already trapped inside one and want to lose weight in a safer way. if you need someone to talk to, message me anytime.
