Reminder that your 3d is valid.

No matter if..

- you’re classed “too big” to have an 3d.

- you have recovered and relapsed.

- you eat food every day.

- you don’t wanna be deathly skinny

- you’re already skinny

- you aren’t taken seriously by others

etc.

You will be taken seriously on 3d tumblr!!💓

We are all struggling with the same thing js different levels and goals do not judge someone bc you do NOT know their story or struggles🙏

tips for resisting binging

personally

drink water... like, a lot of water

drinking other more filling liquids like milk, juice, coffee, etc

set a timer and look at it whenever you want to eat and see the progress you'll undo

leave the room with food in it immediately and distract yourself

if you are going to eat: use small plates, small utensils, and don't look at your phone/tv/computer at all. eat slowly to give yourself time to feel fuller before you finish. never eat something out of a bag/package

limit yourself before you even start. you can only have x amount of this, so that's all you will take. immediately put it away

drink liquids while you eat

when breaking a fast: eat something high in fiber or protein

don't eat near the kitchen

brush your teeth if you struggle with night time. if that's not enough, sugarfree gum and water after brushing your teeth (together) will take away your appetite

if you have the control, take one small bite/piece of what you want and be done

stay away from the food as much as possible (i literally hang out in my bathroom)

bring a mirror with you when you eat/open your camera while you eat

hopefully this helps! i'm not someone who binges very often (dont have a huge desire to eat — arfid things) so i hope these work for you

4N4 TIP:

pretend that your life is a show like The Biggest Loser or My 600lbs Life, and there is an audience watching you every time you eat or think about eating.

This feels like a religion more than an e4ting d1s9rder, everyone talking to "ana" asking to be thinner and listening to what she's telling us(including me)

We sound more like a bunch of Schizophrenics then 4nor3x1c 😭😭

But I'm lowkey here for it, ana is more fun than half people I know. Everyone is just so fucking boring

how to not binge

first let’s understand why you’re binging…

you miss the food. you miss the flavor and you miss the freedom. that’s okay. restricting your diet is hard especially because you’ve had a taste for high cal foods and they taste great, i won’t lie. but i have been able to go about 2 months without binging, even though i miss the flavor.

my lw was at the beginning of the pandemic and i was eating like once every three days (because of my ocd). i got into recovery this year but i don’t think i was mentally ready for all the weight gain so i restarted my rexie journey about 2 months ago and i’ve lost a significant amount of weight (about 25 lbs)

now how to not binge!

actually enjoy your low cal meals. savor the flavor and really enjoy it. don’t eat them with the mindset of “this will make me skinny”, eat them with the mindset of “this is actually good food”. the more you start to look at these foods as delicious and tasty, the less you’ll want the high cal foods. look forward to the meals you cook. experiment with flavor and different textures. and remember it’s okay to miss that burger and that pizza, but there’s a whole world of different flavors you have yet to explore in low cal foods!

as i’m writing this, i’m having my breakfast: black coffee, a can of tuna with salt and pepper and some unsweetened applesauce. it might seem like bland food but i genuinely love the bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness from my saliva that follows after i’ve drank it, the savory and slightly spicy flavor of the tuna (i’ve always loved tuna since childhood so this one was pretty easy to like) and the applesauce, it’s like a treat and a fun little snack. i even consider it akin to candy, so i don’t feel the need to eat actually candy.

it’s a mindset to get into. just remember that you don’t have to suffer to be skinny, you can enjoy food while losing weight.

- eating in front of people

- getting weighed at the doctor

- driving over bridges
