Some tips for starting with your diet:

Chew gum, it helps when you're feeling hungry

Drinks lots of water!

Drink tea, it's a great antioxidant and it gives you an energy boost - especially green&black tea

Take walks, it's easier than working out if you don't like it - anything above 10k steps is great (and anything under is great too!)

If you're hungry, curl up in a ball

Try to miss out on unnecessary snacks, the calories count too

The most important part is that every piece counts! It doesn't matter if you lose 1kg or 10 kg - it's progress either way!

my thighs before v my thighs now

i know i'm not skinny enough to look anorexic and that makes me fucking sick

Weight might not be dropping, but this will to live sure as hell is

exposing myself😀

the feeling of cold water on an empty stomach >>>>>>>>>>>>

that awkward moment when you bring your laptop to school and open it up in front of an entire group of people but then u realize that you forgot to put away the large amount of thinspo you screen shotted the night before so you open chrome really quickly and pray they didn’t notice

pro ana quotes from old tumblr

“just remember in 20 seconds the food will be gone,the taste will be over,and all that will be left is regret. just like last time.”

“always leave the table feeling like you could’ve eaten more”

“chemicals over calories for me, thanks.”

“remember fat lasts longer than flavour”

“remember how it felt the first time you started losing weight? don’t let that feeling get taken away from you, keep going.”

“don’t eat anything today that you’ll regret tomorrow.”

“your body and cravings don’t control you, you control them.”

“you won’t regret getting skinny and not eating, you’ll regret overeating and getting fat.”

and the classic “skip dinner wake up thinner.”

i wanna become thinspo.

Hii ednos / anamia tumblr :3 i have a special treat for everyone today…

my collar bones…

Daily reminder that you need to survive in order to be skinny and pretty so eat if you need to, it won't change anything!

Plus some thinspo ^^

Every day of starving is like a side quest.

Racking up days so u can unlock the ✨skinny✨

replacing cravings: processed sugar

soda 🥤-> coke zero! or any other zero sugar variant (e.g. sprite zero, diet mountain dew, pepsi max, etc etc). 0 calories

other sweet drinks 🧋-> low-cal hot chocolate (swiss miss is only 75 calories per 2 tbsp) or chai latte mix (tazo skinny chai concentrate is only 60 calories per serving) with almond milk (30 calories per serving). 75-90 calories

pastry cravings 🍩 -> english muffin (120 calories) with a drizzle of honey (60 calories) or agave nectar (20 calories). 140-180 calories

candy 🍬 -> sweet berries, frozen grapes, banana slices, etc. fruit in general really helps because you get natural sugars to stave off the cravings. you can also add some stevia or honey/agave to make it even sweeter! 10-70+ calories

ice cream 🍦 -> greek yogurt (100ish calories) with honey or agave (20-60 calories) and fruit (10-50 calories) 100-200 calories

(of course, there are many low cal variations of all of the above all over the internet. this is just how I was able to successfully curb my sugar addiction!)

my arms before v my arms after

why does having an empty stomach feel like an accomplishment

I’m scared that the day i become “skinny enough” i’ll realize that no matter what i do and how much weight i lose i’ll always be unlovable.

me: *tries to fast for a long period of time, ends up triggering a binge*

me, logically: aw i binged again guess i should fast for a long period of time
