all the things that helped me losing weight and not binge.
- do NOT restrict too much if you know you tend to binge, it will only be worse —> I stayed on a 1000-1100 calorie intake and sometimes I even stayed under that easily by keeping myself busy/happy in some ways
- I personally hate waking up early in the morning because I binge mostly for breakfast, but I realized a good sleeping schedule is also important, so if I wake up early, I drink a big ass coffee with almond milk/eat something under 150 cals and GO OUT, like for a walk or anything.
- Lunch/dinner —> I try staying under 350, because I usually eat an apple/fruit after every meal and if I have a sweet treat under 50 cals, why not, I always let myself have it.
- I try (try) walking at least 10k steps everyday, not because it burns a significant amount of calories, but because its good for my mental health. When I stay at home being depressed and doing nothing, I usually look for dopamine in food until Im nauseous, like I did today!😋👌🏻 so yeah.
- Basically try not to have that restricting mindset all the time, try to by chill about food even if you are not, trick your mind, say yes to breakfast, lunch, dinners out with friends, maybe take initiative to be able to choose what to eat and plan your intake based on it, but even if you can’t, always be chill. You can go back on track all the next days or eating a LITTLE less. Its not that deep, your body will not change from that croissant or from that pasta you had that day, it will change if you restrict too much and than fall into a binge cycle for weeks. And its like a living hell.
- Live the moment as much as you can. Weight loss begin to work as soon as you start to see the first little results, you have to stay motivated, not stressing out constantly by planning everything and thinking about the things you will do within 3 months with your body. At least, this not works with me.
- do not weight yourself everyday, do not watch your body in the mirror every hour of the day, do not take too many photos. I mean, the temptation to do all of this is strong, but the weight varies enormously during the day, the way we see ourselves reflected is constantly distorted depending on how we feel and constantly seeking changes in all these forms is counterproductive. The real changes will be the ones that you see casually as the time passes and that you can physically feel on yourself. Don't be fooled and don't become crazy over all this fake shit. <3
Oh my gosh, so, like, listen up, you guys. I had all these plans to avoid Tumblr, but then I just COULDN'T. Those reposts and messages were calling my name, and I was like, "Why is this making me soooo horny?"
And here comes the nightmare: I was on my grind yesterday, thinking I'm on a roll. But then I COULDN'T continue, and boom, RELAPSED! It's like, forget about me, Bambi is in control now. She just grabbed the wheel and is steering this crazy train! Bambi just resumed the 20 days training.
So, um, I really, really need your help. Could you, like, punish me for going rogue? I'm so out of sorts, and I need a reality check, like, yesterday. I consent to all DMs and ASKs.
So please, PLEASE, repost this. Seriously, let's give Bambi the attention she's clearly craving. I'm sort of begging here, you guys. Tell the world Bambi's in a spiral and, like, needs some major help or advice or something. Thank you sooo much!
Movies about eating disorders just do something. I know everyone thinks this (at least everyone I know) but like watching them is so enabling. I want to look like them, I want to feel like them. Idk I just like to watch them when I feel like I need motivation.
