food=pain

when hating food isnt enough, being in pain because of food is.
      Assosiating food with pain is an awesome way to steer clear of it. most people wear a rubber band on their wrist and snap it when they think about food, but that method never worked with me. what i do when i eat, is imagion this awful tummy ache, i CRINGE at every bite i eat. the ache feels like really bad cramps, and the flu. i imagion that when ever i eat, and then it acually happens! after i eat i feel really sick, and so i stay away from food to avoid feeling that pain.
    this can also help with having meals with other people, tell them that you have a really sensitive stomache, they will eventualy get used to the fact that you dont eat much because of this.
   this works because your body and your mind will work together and relize that you "feel sick" because of food, they will turn that imagionary pain into a real pain. now, im not sure that this will work for everyone, because i really only have one body to test it on:)  you really just have to hate hate HATE the taste, and the mear thought of food, because this method wont work if you enjoy every bite of food you eat! hope this works! and dont be shy asking for advice by email or coment, thats where i got the idea to write about this from:)  goooood luck!~E

how to dress

this is quite tricky. i mentioned earlier that you should wear baggy clothes, but i think i need to be more spesific.
     how you dress is very important. you dont want it to look like you are getting deadly thin. people might get suspisious.
     try layering it up! wear tank tops under tee's, or two long sleeved shirts. also try wearing a sweatshirt--BUT this should not be a loose sweat shirt! if its a big, loose sweatshirt it will make you look even skinnier! with pants, really your legs look the same in anything, but try to avoid wearing boots/shoes that are 'puffy'. like furry ones or ones with indian tassles, these will draw attention to your skinny legs.
      you might be woundering why i want you to look fatter than you really are, isnt the point of pro ana to look and feel skinnyer? yes of course! BUT you cant really BE pro ana if your parents send you a recovery center, or watch you eat because your so thin! if you are over weight, then lose weight first, and ONCE you hit the under weight line, THEN you start dressing fat, because it will make you look like you are a normal healthy wieght! if you are allready normal/under weight, you should start dressoing fat NOW. next time you go shopping pick up some thick fabric blouses, or some (my favorite choice) V-necks that need a tank top underneth.
            good luck! ~E

cold is the key,

temperature. thats a biggie when boosting your metabolisam. you always want to drink cold water--freezing! it boosts your metabolisam, because your body starts working harder to keep your body warm, therefore, burning more calories ;)
     you want to also take cold showers(this is not a must, i know alot of you out there love your hot showers:) ). and keep your temperature down at night--you burn aproximently 65 calories when you sleep, keeping your temperature low burns another 65.
     but! people who are anorexic tend to be cold too, so try to avoid hand holding and hugging around ana-educated friends/family.

how to feel fuler/fight the cravings

HOW TO FEEL FULER:

• drink lots lots lots of water!
• drink green tea.
• when eating, eat slowly (it takes your body 20 minutes to relize its full)
• chew your food untill it disolves or for 30 seconds.
• drink a sip of water inbetween every bite.
• avoid bread(it is fast to disolve which makes it so you dont feel very full)

HOW TO FIGHT THE CRAVINGS:

• drink water/green
• think of usting things about food or that look like food(pizza=scabs/blood)
• feel all of the bones in your body and how if you eat those bones will be covered in a layer of fat.
• go look at images of "thinspo" see all the skinny beautiful girls.
• true anas are strong!
• exercise
• clean something, the cleaning products will make you sick
• take a walk
• watch you tube videos about skinny people and their thinspo experience
• listen to music
• spin, it kills you apitite

hope these help! comment if you need some pointers or look at 'contact me' for my email ~E

set goals

the scale. i, unlike most anas, do not believe in weighing myself twice everyday. i think its a selfestem killer. i like to set a goal for the month(my december one is to loose 14lbs(84 to 70)) so what i do it:

1) at the begining of the month, i measure everthing:

• weight (84)
• height (5ft)
• waist (22in)
• chest (28in)
• hips (29in)
• mid-thigh(16in)

then i set a goal for at MOST 3 of those things:

• weight (70)
• waist (20)
• thighs (12)

then i weigh myself every weekend (sat) and see if i need to work harder to acchive my goal, i do NOT measure myself, it seems to me like a bit of a spoiler<:) then i measure myself on that last date and see if i made it!whatever you do, DO NOT BECOME SCALE OBSESSED!!!! it will make you depressed, and in some casses it will make you say,"well im already fat i might as well stuff my face and give up and be more depressed!", i..yeah i almost did just that when i was scale obsessed<:.)

good luck! and be strong because Ana's Girl's Are Strong! ~E
