"when i reach my gw i will allow myself to eat this cupcake!! i can't wait!"
no. you will not. you may not. you are not a dog. we do not reward with food. when you reach your gw you make new goals.
being skinny is the reward.
- green tea, black coffee, apple cider vinegar drinks (!!!!!!!) and zero sugar sodas are your friend. they can act as a substitution for food cravings
- watching my 600 pound life
- listening to chewing sounds realllyyyy grosses me out and makes me lose my appetite.
- if I want to try something tasty: chewing it up & spitting it out.
- drinking lotsssssssss of water
- water flavorings help if you’re like me and you don’t like the taste of plain water sometimes.
- walking instead of eating
- buying healthy food that is boring and has little taste, ex. almonds, pre-cooked beets, boiled eggs, (though to be fair I do really like boiled eggs lol) kale, etc. even if you do give in to a binge, it’s likely you won’t be very motivated to eat much, and even if you do, it will all be healthy.
- i cut out meat for several years which helped with keeping my weight low, but I was also deficient of a lot of vitamins so this wouldn’t be my go-to for trying to lose weight.
- keep food in a locked compartment if possible. if you give in to cravings, the process of unlocking the compartment will give you more time to decide otherwise.
EDIT: y’all have been so nice and have given some wonderful tips, so I’ll add them here!
- @iwannagohomeandwatchamovie suggested watching nikocado avocado in addition to my 600 lb life
- @guardiansleipnir pointed out that being vegan means that nobody thinks twice when you deny food offered to you
- @purfextfox had a really good tip, and they put it so well that I’ll just leave how they put it word-for-word: “If you aren't eating meat, add nutritional yeast to your diet. It has readily available B vitamins you need. Much easier for your body to absorb than supplements. You can add it to pasta, rice, popcorn, on top a bagel thin with light margarine (I use butter). It also has some protein in it, I think 5g per 2 tbsp (15 calories)”
- @babygirlblogger added that you should have bowel movements before it gets dangerous, requiring surgery. In general, not having bowel movements for longer than 3 days-1 week is dangerous.
- @morgannx3 added that nicotine is an appetite suppressant. I wouldn’t suggest anybody take up smoking, and even though I smoke herbal cigarettes (that don’t contain nicotine) I wouldn’t recommend those either because of course any type of smoking is still going to provide health issues, but it is something to consider if you already smoke!
- you’ll have no/low periods
- you’ll be able to spend your time doing stuff other than eating
- taking nice walks and appreciating nature if possible
- being so skinny everything looks good on you
- pushing your limits, seeing how far you can make your body work for you. it’s exciting, and gives me a lot of energy and motivation, knowing that if I can harness my own body and instill discipline in myself, there’s many other things I could be capable of.
- drinking water is healthy for you
- eating healthy food
- saving money on food for other things you enjoy
- bones are beautiful
- exercise is good for your brain, improves cognitive function
- the feeling of cleanliness that comes from being completely empty, and having no bowel movements for days on end. you save money on toilet paper 😉
- being able to train your body to be able to go for long periods of time without food, which is helpful if you have a job or go to school
- sharing food with others so you don’t eat it yourself is a nice thing to do, a generous gesture.
- sleeping instead of eating ensures that you’ll always get a good, healthy amount of sleep

repeat after me:
BINGEING IS A CHOICE.
NOBODY IS FORCE FEEDING YOU.
DON’T DO IT.
JUST STOP.

My toxic trait is firmly believing that being $k!nny will solve nearly all my problems, and I refuse to consider otherwise
