What happened next is sort of a blur, I know I cried and I know I screamed silently under my breath more times than I care to remember, I know I scratched my fat thighs with my nails repeatedly and I know that I punched myself in the stomach as hard as I could bring myself to. I saw that fat, but I never really saw the fat.
Downstairs I knew there were chocolates and mince pies and crisps and sweets. I was 20 hours or so into a fast at this point and I was starving. If I was this upset for any other reason I would have raided my kitchen and binged for an hour straight, but this was different. I could already feel a change within me.
I had no desire to eat, I walked into the kitchen and the food made me feel sick. It was Christmas in a matter of hours and the thought of a huge roast which would usually make my stomach scream with desire made me want to throw up there and then. A few days passed and I ate very little and it was easy, I exercised more than I ever had and I saw it as a game, I wanted to stop doing star jumps but my body and my brain were trapped in a game of willpower, my brain would eventually lose but it put up a good fight.
I had everything those girls had and it felt wonderful for a while. Eat in front of a mirror, naked or in underwear if possible. Eat a lot of fiber for digestive health and low calories. Create a methodical routine for eating. Cut food into tiny pieces, count your bites and the number of times you chew, set your utensils down between bites, and sip water between bites. Add other rules or rituals of your own.
Eat higher-calorie items earlier in the day so you have more time to burn them off; if you eat late eat light or it will be more likely to be stored as fat due to inactivity. Try not to eat too late, sleep burns calories and is a good opportunity to burn fat with little effort.
The body must burn through all digesting food before taking energy from stored food fat. When you go out, take very little money or only enough to buy whatever non-food item you plan on buying. This will make it harder to buy food on impulse. Write down everything you eat and its calories. This will make you think before eating and also make you more aware of how much food and calories you are actually consuming.
Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you want to eat. Set a time you cannot eat past. This is especially helpful if you are prone to night binging. Then make a rule that you cannot eat before or AM, this is like having a hr fast every day.
The extra hours will help burn off the calories. If you eat soon before sleeping, you absorb more calories due to inactivity and you put on weight. Have a peppermint or peppermint tea. Peppermint decreases hunger. Brush your teeth when you want to eat. The clean feeling and mint aftertaste will put you off food.
Press on your stomach when it grumbles. TUMS also stop stomach growling and have calcium. Carry a list of all the reasons you want to be thin and avoid food. Or, write a new list every time you want to eat. Cut a ribbon the size you want your waist to be. See how close you are, or how far you have to go, and resist the temptation. Always leave at least one bite of food on your plate. This will help you to be able to stop eating and prevent binges.
It will also stop you from compulsively finishing portions even when you have eaten enough. Friends will only get in the way. Avoid them until you reach your goals. Never eat in secret. This is a terrible habit that leads to compulsive binging. Also if you only eat around other people they will know that you do eat and assume you eat alone as well, thus lessening suspicion that you have an ED.
Never eat out of a box or jar. Always eat from a plate or bowl. Give clothes to Goodwill as they get too big for you. A mirror works well too. When you have hunger pangs, picture your stomach eating away your fat, and that what you feel is the feeling of thinness and your fat burning away. Coffee is an appetite suppressant. Drink it black or with Splenda or other no-calorie sweetener. Count your bites, and the number of times you chew them. Plan in advance how many bites you can have.
Then make them smaller or use smaller utensils. Teeth whitening strips are good too. Drink water before eating.
