Eating 1000 calories should not ruin anything. I’ve been eating between 700-1200 the past week and I’ve LOST weight. Make sure the food you eat is healthy- raw fruits and veggies, multigrain cereals and breads, and lean meats if you eat meat. Eating more adds food weight, but if it’s healthy, you’re not going to gain.

Anonymous asked: Sorry to bother you but you seem to give good advice and we have very similar stats. So I am eating between 300 and 500 calories a day mon-fri, but as soon as saturday comes I completely screw up and on the weekends I eat sometimes 1000 or more calories! I have no idea why,and I don't know what to do! Do you have any suggestions? |
Up 2lbs and I don’t even care.
I had soup which making me retain water, and I’m STILL eating because I have an SAT tomorrow and 2 AP tests in a row Monday and Tuesday. Whatever, I haven’t gained any real weight (fat) since I started losing. I’ve maintained for the past month and I guess I’m okay with that. I know when summer rolls around I’ll go down to 90 but I can wait. Patience is virtue.

Anonymous asked: when you only ate 300 cal a day did you workout too? Yes, but I fainted twice and the second time hit my head on a table. I had a migraine for days. It was reckless and dangerous, and if you decide to do it PLEASE be careful and know when to rest. I seriously don’t recommend working out when you eat that little. |
UMMM WUT: Rant/I AM NOT “PRO-ANA.”
So I have these bruises all over my shins and some on my arms. I know I lost a lot of weight in those areas and I’m kind of concerned. They’re yellow and blue and I seem to get more and more and they don’t fade. You can see some of them in one of my pictures. I just notice some on my arms today and I was like “OMG I’M TURNING INTO POTATOES!” which was a bit over-the-top. Yeah. Anyone else deal with this? Am I officially anorexic? I don’t feel right calling myself that because I’m not malnourished and I only deal with the psychological effects (fear of food, anxiety attacks related to weight, fear of gaining). But I haven’t had my period in like 2 months and I still get dizzy despite eating A LOT more than I used to and drinking more water. Urgh, why did I do this to myself? To be honest, I’d rather be 200 lbs and comfortable with my body than be 90 lbs and miserable (although I still want to be 90…). Seriously, I hate seeing people asking for “pro-ana” tips. NO NO NO. Don’t do this to yourself. It will EAT YOU ALIVE. When I was 120lbs I would tell myself “When I’m 100 I’ll be able to look good in ANYTHING!” You know what? I probably do. But because of this disease I hide in baggy clothes because I still HATE MY BODY. I cover the bones I’m oh-so proud of and the fat I loathe. I don’t socialize. I’m turning into some skinny recluse, NOT a supermodel. I’m sick, and I hope someone reads this and thinks twice before deciding starving or obsessing is the best way to become a “better you.” The mirror doesn’t decide who you are, that’s up to you. So be yourself and be beautiful, because you are, you just need to show everyone else. Embrace your weight and love yourself, and you won’t have to deal with the physical and mental bruises.
