♡ what i do instead of eating when i’m feeling impulsive ♡

୨୧ turn on a tv show that i only allow myself to watch when i'm working out — right now i'm alternating between america's next top model and the biggest loser! ୨୧ hop on the treadmill and watch the show. i don't stop until the episode is over, or until i'm literally about to collapse. ୨୧ after i'm done on the treadmill, i go and take an everything shower. wash, shave, exfoliate, the works. then i get out and do my haircare and skincare routine. ୨୧ i make sure to drink tons of water to rehydrate myself! ୨୧ sometimes i like to do my hair and makeup afterwards too. other times i'll sit down and draw or paint. just anything to keep me busy.

୨୧ by now, i've usually spent three hours keeping myself distracted and any hunger pains/cravings have usually subsided (:

i work with models and the ugly truth is - they don’t eat.

Literally. They have one, maybe two light meals a day, but the rest of the time they just survive on black unsweetened coffee.

The story which social media sells us, that models can regularly eat three full healthy meals a day and indulge in fast food while maintaining that body?? Big fat lie.

It’s almost an unspoken agreement that all of them have eating disorders. Yeah they might eat on camera. But the thing is if they have fast food or high cal meals, they have a very small portion or only one bite. Most models don’t even eat or drink water before shoots/ runways to eliminate the chance of bloating. Yeah, SOME models can afford private chefs, but most of them are broke as hell. The business is brutal and standing in front of a hot light while being poked and prodded for 2-7 hours per shoot is literal torture. THIS, on top of not eating.

If you want to look like a model, starving is the only answer. Even if you’re genetically blessed.

Eat 1200 cals MAX, mainly between 500-900 per day. Walk a ton. Do OMAD or intermittent fasting. Survive on coffee. And if you can’t handle that, then you b/p which is horrible for you either way.

Wake up. Ugh.

snack packs i made for school! each one is 271kcal and contains: 1 vanilla alpro soya yoghurt, one fibre one strawberry cheesecake bar, 10 yoghurt covered raisins, and 10g of dried cranberries.

[mymeloana]

snack tip I read on reddit: weigh up snacks into individual serving sizes, put them in ziplock bags, and write the calories for each serving on the bag

idk about you but I love snacks. reduces the urge to binge if you have low cal snacks available and measured out already instead of just binging on candy when the snack pangs hit

MY HEALTHY TIPS IF UR RESTRICTING

🌱 drink water. if you’re seeing this you probably already know this, but seriously. I drink enough water every day that my pee is literally clear. 🌱 tea def counts towards hydration! I drink mint, green, chamomile, and dandelion usually. 🌱 speaking of tea, if you really struggle with bloating I highly recommend Yogi’s Detox tea. It’s like $4 a box and works for me. I drink it an hour before bed and it does its magic overnight. You can find it in most grocery stores. 🌱 people say green tea helps metabolism. Honestly I’m not so sure about this. I personally take vitamin c in the mornings because 1) it helps my immune system and 2) it does boost your metabolism (acid/citrus both raise your metabolism - why people also encourage grapefruit and apple cider vinegar to lose weight). 🌱 I take complete vitamins almost every day. If you restrict a lot and for a long time, you will NEED vitamins. You want to get thin, but I doubt you also want weak bones, bad teeth, bad nails, bad hair, bad skin, etc. So take your vitamins, please please please. 🌱 I usually eat 600-1000 calories a day, but with exercise and walking I usually net 300-500. 🌱 I try to eat healthy and unprocessed foods. I’m actually a low carb high fat person, but in general try to eat lots of leafy greens and protein and some fruit every day. I usually have some almond butter for breakfast, a salad with chicken and veggies for lunch with a lil dressing, some veggies/fruit for an afternoon snack, and I usually skip dinner. Staying away from carbs - breads and pastas and stuff - also helps keep down bloating in most people. 🌱 vary your caloric intake. Usually during the week I keep my calories down, but on the weekend I allow myself to net more like 800-1000 calories. This let’s you indulge on foods you’d otherwise stay away from - I eat some pizza and ice cream on these days. This can help prevent binges because you know you’ll get whatever food you’re craving sometime in the next week. it also boosts your metabolism, and it keeps your body from getting too adjusted to a consistent caloric intake. People also frequently plateau when their bodies adjust to their intake. This is why some people experience significant weight loss after a binge day. 🌱 fasting can def be helpful - I usually fast once a week just to give my system a break and just eat light foods and liquids. I do try to get at least 200 calories spread out over a day of fasting because that’s what your body needs to keep its metabolism running. I usually burn it all off though with exercise and just walking. Never fast longer than 48 hours - your body will start to eat away at itself for energy when it burns through carbs and some fat. When you do fast, absolutely drink lots of liquids. When you’re coming out of a fast, don’t binge or eat something big. Be gentle on your body and ease back into regular eating with some fruit, veggies, or a small salad. 🌱 PLEASE DO NOT PURGE. it is so, so bad for you. throwing up a few hundred calories is not worth the damage to your body. Please. 🌱 PLEASE DO NOT USE LAXATIVES. not only do they damage your body if you try to use them for weight loss, but they don’t actually do anything for you - the idea that they prevent the absorption of calories is a MYTH. so please don’t use them unless you have to. I have to use laxatives every once in a while because I literally will go weeks without a bowel movement at all, but I always take the proper dosage and I always drink lots of water. PLEASE BE SAFE. 🌱 I try to exercise five days a week and rest on weekends. Usually 30 minutes of cardio and 20 minutes of weights. I do this to help burn calories, up my metabolism, tone my muscles, and to try to prevent muscle loss because of restriction. I always eat a few slices of turkey or ham or a couple ounces of chicken after I work out - your body needs protein to help its muscles and to prevent muscle loss. YOUR BODY DOES NEED REST. Please don’t work out like crazy 24/7 because you will fatigue and wear down your body and you will feel tired and achey 24/7. Don’t be afraid to take rest days. 🌱 I personally have a very hard time eating with other people because I tend to social eat - I eat mindlessly while talking and stuff and go way over. I also have a hard time stopping when I’m full. To help fight this I only spend a short while eating - just one plate usually - and then I try to leave asap before I’m tempted to eat more. I’m a college student, so this isn’t too difficult, but having sweets and random food everywhere in the dining halls is definitely a challenge. Another way I’ve been trying to prevent excess eating is scrolling through thinspo on my phone while I eat. 🌱 if you feel like you’re going to binge - that you HAVE to eat or you’ll go crazy - try to binge on fruits and veggies. I’ve done this a couple times and even though I feel so full and gross afterwards, my actual caloric intake isn’t as bad if it had been pizza or something. Also I love fruit, so I’m as happy to eat it as anything else. 🌱 don’t go to bed starving. I personally can’t sleep on an empty stomach. Scientifically, people have a hard time sleeping on an empty stomach because our brains are expecting food and will stay alert even when we’re trying to fall asleep. Also, your body’s natural reaction when it’s hungry is to go looking for food, and it kind of panicked if it doesn’t get food but you’re trying to make it fall asleep. I usually eat some nuts or a nut butter before bed because they’ll last in my stomach and keep it full, even if it’s not much.

🙈that’s all for now, folks! maybe I’ll do another round later if I can think of much more. Stay safe and dm me with any comments, concerns, or questions.🙈

Ana Parent Tips

⭐️⭐️ If they want you to eat, serve yourself a massive plate (I mean MASSIVE) take one bite, then mix the plate, repeat until the first person has finished their meal and then offer to clean up the dishes and the plates/bowls.

⭐️⭐️ Cook, cook, cook. If you are always in the kitchen they will assume that you are eating. Make your family breakfast, lunch to take to work, diner, snacks, everything. Also they will love you more for it.

⭐️⭐️ Go to bed early and say you ate before your family came home from work.

⭐️⭐️ Go exercise, then come back inside just as your parent/parents get home drink a lot of water, if they asked if you’ve eaten say you ate before working out to get energy.

⭐️⭐️ Make sure your parents see you eating something around once a week (it can be really really small) because if they see you eating once they will assume you eat more.

⭐️⭐️STAY SAFE GUYS XXX⭐️⭐️

if your hungry just imagine...

~ not feeling sweaty, sticky and unbearably hot during summer due to all the fat surrounding your body

~ buying that bikini instead of feeling sorry for yourself for letting your body go all those summers in a row

~ the heads you’ll turn in your crop top and denim shorts instead of bulging out of them like you used to

~ the confidence you’ll feel when you can wear anything you want without the fear that everyone is looking at you

~ letting your boyfriend actually touch your stomach without the fear of him being repulsed by your fat

now do you want to eat that?

📚going to the dining halls to stock up on apples while your friends gorge on pizza and crap

📚doing a group costume on Halloween and getting to be the ‘skinny character’

📚asking to borrow your roommates clothes only to find them giant on you

📚at big school events, you’re the one lifted onto guy’s shoulders

📚wearing a sports jersey and looking tiny and adorable

📚skinny sorority girls asking how you got so small

📚throwing out the clothes you first brought with you to school bc they’re huge now

I think the thing that’s been keeping me going the most is curiosity. I have never been skinny. I have no idea what I’ll look like. I’ve never seen my legs smaller than a size six. I don’t know the shape of my own bones. I don’t know my own body, but I want to. I want to see the girl hidden beneath the fat. The girl that everyone adores.

I will see her someday

Because someday I’ll be her
