Pinterest thinspo that’s keeping me going today

Here’s your reminder to get your ass up and go drink some ✨water✨

😫😫

stop a binge

the way I'm trying to stop myself from a binge is literally just buying like a facemask or something instead. It doesn't have to be expensive, I buy the like $2 ones, but that way I get some of that binging energy out.

I just realized that when I stay at my calorie limit and work out everyday I lose weight

There is no other option for me

I have to lose weight, otherwise I can not enjoy my life. It’s that easy. I have no choice. I have to be skinny. The shame, guilt and suffering that comes w being fat has been way worse than restricting

Seriously tho 😂 and yes I made this myself

Nothing is scarier than fasting and then having a binge nightmare that feels so realistic you wake up crying

u can literally eat anything and still lose weight

also this is the most beautiful picture in the world to me rn this is truly my motivation

i finally made an anti-binge box? — i’ve been struggling with binge urges for the longest time n i finally put all the things that helped me overcome it in one place :]

- body easurement

- baby lips

- hand lotion

- squishy

- nail polish

- kirby notes for list of distractions

- face mask

- lipstick & a mirror

Either way stay out my bissness

my brain: you can't get fat if you don't eat

me: i mean... you're not wrong.

YOUR ED IS VALID

Idk if you are gaining weight, loosing weight, eating regularly, eating irregularly, binging all the time, never binging, purging, or not purging

YOU ARE VAILD

may is my month

Ways I avoided binging for an entire month and counting (and lost 14 lbs):

1. Stay calm

Try to do some deep breathing. Inhale and exhale. Staying calm and avoiding panic when the urge to binge comes always helps me maintain a clear head, and remember what my goals are. Stick to them, no matter what.

2. Distraction

There are so many ways to distract yourself from a binge! My favourites are to immediately watch an episode of Supersize vs Superskinny, do deep breathing exercises, do my hobbies like reading, listening to ED music (Eg Paper Bag, Me and Mia, Bleed Like Me etc) and of course, looking at thinspo. Going through tags just helps me stay focused when I feel my control slipping. And I promise, I will not lose control and binge.

3. Affirmations

Surprisingly powerful stuff. The things we say to ourselves, and the things we say out loud hold power, because the universe (or whatever you believe in) is always listening. Using affirmations helps a lot with keeping my head clear and my desires clear. I want skinny. I want to lose weight. So, the affirmations I make are aligned with that, and I repeat them to myself until I regain control from the urge to binge. I repeat each one until I believe it completely.

My favourites are simple: I am skinny. I am in control. I have power over my urges. I am so skinny and thin, my waist is so small. I have the perfect body, so thin and light. I am light, I weigh nothing. I am pure.

4. Not Undereating

This one, is an important one. We all need a good amount of calories to survive, and if you don't want to die anytime soon, you better be feeding your body at least a bare minimum of food. Mixing up my calories have helped tremendously. Some days I low restrict at around 100-200 calories. Perhaps the following days, I'll go up to 500, and sometimes even 800. It's pretty motivating to even allow yourself a day to look forward to for having a small binge or a big meal. I like to use upcoming birthdays and celebrations to look forward to, and low restrict in the weeks leading up to it. Cycling between low restricting and high restricting (800-1100) has helped my body think its receiving food, therefore not complaining and begging me to eat by triggering a binge. What your body thinks is important too, so try to listen to it sometimes and eat that piece of fruit or that slice of pizza (as long as its not a binge trigger). Stop wasting your money on foods that trigger your binges, and take care of your body.

Stay safe, guys. ❤️

calorie deficit is literally the only way to lose weight
