tb to my teen years when i had a b.e.d. and was so stubborn to not let my mom see that her words regarding my body/weight affected me that I didn't try to lose weight
15 hours into a fast, omw to 24 >:)
Now remember, sugar is your worst enemy
Liquids will be a life saver. Water, coffee, energy drinks, sugar free sodas will help you feel like you're consuming something and give you maybe a few calories that your body can work with and still function.
Sleep. What usually helps me with my fasts is to start my fast after dinner. I usually eat between 6 and 8 PM, so I then feel full and have less the need to snack on things. I go to bed at around midnight and wake up the next day at like 9, so I'm already a solid 12 to 13 hours in. I'm not rlly a breakfast person and only start to get hungry at around noon, and by then I get to 14 to 17 hours.
Keep yourself busy. I noticed it was easier for me to get to my 24h fast in a day where I had 2 classes of 3 hours. By the time I got back to my dorm and my bf and I decided to get dinner, it was close to the time we had dinner the day before.
Remember why you're doing it.
If you'll feel too guilty eating it, don't.
REAL, I randomly stop studying just to scroll on tumblr and look through the tags. I also had a phase at some pointwhere I'd be like "it's ok to neglect my studies for a bit. I can't be stupid AND ugly."
does anyone else’s ED severely impact their academics? and not just in an “@na brain” way?
i mean instead of studying or doing online assignments i’m obsessively consuming media related to weight loss/food/dieting.
i feel guilty when i sit down to study or do schoolwork because “i could be burning calories exercising right now.”
I have a friend who's (naturally?) really skinny and she was telling me abt how she sometimes gets bruises from resting on wooden/metal chairs. I WISH I had that struggle.
while I'm not necessarily heavy on the thigh gap, I'm dying to have thin legs. I need my bones to show.
no cuz the ppl who said that fasting is addicting were right. I've been progressively more interested in trying to fast, and started w 12 to 16 hours, and did a 24 hour recently. It's on my mind constantly now
I was so skinny as a child, why didn't I stay that way
