My Tips For ⭐️ving And @na

my tips for ⭐️ving and @na

- 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!

and here’s some things I remind myself for motivation:

- 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
