Fear
When I started I was ~142lbs. I wanted to get down to ~120lbs. Maybe 118, because being in the “teens” for weight just sounded cuter. It seemed like an unachievable goal at the time. Over 20 pounds of weight loss! No way I could do all that.
I made habit changes. I no longer had a drink to unwind when I came home from work. In fact, I pretty much stopped drinking altogether. Not a bad change, overall. Healthy, in fact.
I started logging all of my calories. Holy cow! That’s how much I eat? I cut back on snacks and total calories. The pounds melted off. Slowly, but even over the holidays they dropped away.
Soon I was close to 120, and I thought 115 sounded better. Then a nice even 110. As I dropped to around 114 I realized I wanted to be 100.
Now I’m leaning towards the idea of 95-98. Double digits just sounds…appealing. I literally remember the last time I weighed so little and when I started seeing the triple digits. I think it would be nice to be around there and then I can be satisfied and just maintain.
But will I be content when I reach 100? Or 98? I’m actually subtly afraid of this. I keep trying to go lower and I’m really worried it will never end and I’ll end up seriously unhealthy.
Not so worried that I’m about to stop…I just had to vent a little. And I wanted to post about how dangerous and how much of a slippery slope this is. It can sneak up on you and before you know it it’s 1 am and you’ve been on the treadmill for 3 hours because you had a scoop of peanut butter.
My Personal Tips For MAXIMUM Weight Loss & Beauty
- Drink one glass of water every hour. It will make you feel full.
- Drink ice cold water. Your body will burn calories just trying to get the water to a normal temperature to digest. Also it is GREAT for your complexion.
- Drink 3 cups of green tea daily. It will help boost your metabolism, plus tea is filled with antioxidants that make your skin look great.
- Take vitamins daily to make up for any nutrients you aren’t consuming. Do not take vitamins on an empty stomache though, unless you’re used to it, otherwise they have nothing to catalyze with.
- Eat ice or gum when you think you’re hungry. This will make your body think it had food without the calories and will give your mouth something to chew.
- Do aerobics until you want to faint. They’re awesome for your heart, and will build your endurance.
- Eat spicy foods from time to time. They can raise your metabolism.
- Take cold showers because your body will burn calories trying to heat you back up.
- Brush your teeth constantly so you won’t be tempted to eat afterwards and so that your teeth stay white.
- Try the old ‘rubber band around your wrist’ trick and snap it when you want to eat.
- Think about or clean something gross (toilet, litter box, boyfriend’s closet) when you want to eat. You will not want to eat after cleaning a litter box. (YUCK!)
- Use “Henna and Placenta” or a similar deep conditioner on your hair to keep it healthy.
- Get a job so you’ll have to work through meal times.
- Exercise twice the amount of calories eaten. This way, not only do you burn off what you’ve had, you also burn some of the fat you have stored up.
- Use smaller plates and utensils so you trick yourself and your mind into thinking you ate more.
- Chew each bite of food thoroughly and then take a sip of water between bites. You will feel full a whole lot quicker and will not eat as much.
- Buy small clothes that you can’t fit into and hang them wear you can see them everyday. This will motivate you to lose weight to fit into them.
- Sleep at least six hours a day. If you get less than six, this can lower your metabolism by 15%.
- If you start to feel hungry, do sit-ups or bicycles. Not only will it distract you, but you will also work your abs as a bonus!
- Pamper yourself! Give yourself a facial, paint your nails, anything that makes you feel pretty.
- Join a weight loss or ‘be fit’ group or start your own website or follow people who bring this sort or inspiration on Tumblr. Anything that will keep you motivated is good!
- Practice good posture, it burns 10% more calories when you sit up straight.
- Never eat anything bigger than about a cup. Your stomach will expand and then you’ll get hungry more often. Eating smaller portions will prevent your stomach from stretching.
- On days when you REALLY need thinspiration, eat in front of a mirror, naked.
- Wear perfectly applied lip gloss. It makes you more aware of what’s going into your mouth. Also, flavored ones help with cravings.
- Have 6 small meals a day instead of 3 large ones. This jumpstarts your metabolism if you’re always digesting something.
- Low calorie hot chocolate curbs chocolate cravings, and makes you feel full.
- Take anti-acids if you’re really hungry. They neutralize the acid that builds and makes you hungry, and gives you a boost of calcium.
- Take a picture of yourself wearing a bathing suit or something equally revealing, and look at it when you want to eat.
- It takes 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full, so wait 20 minutes before eating more.
- Eat lots of fibre. It makes you feel full and takes fat out of your body. The natural cleansing helps improve both your energy level and overall feeling of wellness.
- Before you dig into that cake, bag of chips, candy, or something else unhealthy, take a deep breath and count to 100. Usually by the time you get to 100 you will have convinced yourself that you don’t really want it.
- When you’re hungry after already eating, chug 2 glasses (or however many you need) of straight water. It’ll make you so full and nauseous you will have completely lost your appetite.
- Celery actually burns calories. Every hour, eat a stalk of it. Not only will it fill you up, but it will also get your metabolism kickin’.
- Weigh yourself before and after every time you eat. Not only will it eliminate unnecessary eating, but it will make you want to eat less when you see the numbers creep up.
- Read the nutritional information. Remember, fat-free does not mean calorie-free, and usually fat-free means fake. Also keep an eye on fiber content. Get as much fiber into your diet as you can, while cutting fat and calories.
- Don’t eat a lot at once. Spread your food throughout the day. This will help to avoid binges and keep your metabolism going.
- If you like to drink alcohol, you’ll like this. Make a rule: You can only drink every time you lose 2lbs. So, if you lose 4lbs a week, you can drink Friday and Saturday night. However, if you only lose 2lbs a week, you only get to drink one night. You can do this ‘reward system’ with anything you want, too, so if alcohol isn’t your thing, try it with something else.
- Do not eat in front of the computer or TV. This distracts you from recognizing you’re full. You can binge and overeat way too much this way.
- Stay away from Slim-fast and other so-called “healthy” candy bars and shakes… one look at the nutrition facts will tell you why. With all the carbs and excess calories you may as well go eat a freakin pie or something. Not to mention the ridiculous prices… save yourself the money, and the calories. And the artificial ingredients in those things….no way!
- An occasional binge doesn’t hurt, and in fact it’s quite beneficial if you have reached a plateau. Your body will think you have stopped ‘starving’ yourself, and you will drop at least a pound overnight! Just don’t binge too regularly!
Hope these tips help you guys as much as they help me! :)
November Thinspiration
You’re curled up on the couch with your phone, a soft blanket, a mug of hot lemon tea. The house is clean, quiet, organized - you are truly at peace as you sit and scroll your favourite blogs, listening to the rain.
You don’t think of food. Your stomach growls a little bit but amazingly, you don’t mind. You’re in control. You’re not an animal anymore. When you’re out with your friends you’re alive with conversation, fascinated with what others have to say. You pick at your plate, disinterested. It’s not an effort anymore. You really truly don’t care like you used to. Food isn’t a drug anymore. Food isn’t all there is.
You’re in total control now. Your winter body shrinks a little each day beneath your wool sweaters and cozy tights. November is your time to shine.
Ana wants YOU to read this: (meanspo)
Are you seriously sitting there on your phone looking at thinspo? Why don’t you get off your fat ass and actually become a thinspo. LOL, but you won’t right? Because you are just to busy being in love with food instead of your body. You are killing it with the bullshit you stuff you face with. Do you really think that you will get a boyfriend/girlfriend with the way you look? Nobody wants a fat slob who can barely walk up the stairs. Really think he will want you on his dick? No because you will probably crush him. GET UP ALREADY. You better do 10 pushups. You better do a 30 second wall sit. In fact go run or walk a fucking mile. You’ll burn more calories than just sitting on your phone. Oh and have you drank any water today? Drink 2 more! Had anything to eat? Eh, you don’t need anything right now. You shouldn’t be dependent on food right now. If you are seriously starving then eat a banana with peanut butter. Should fill you up for the day. You knoe what’s funny? You needed this as a wake up call because your brain wasn’t enough. Get the fuck up and work towards you goal.
🙏
