mmhmm. the link wont work but here's what it says:
Cold showers help you burn calories to stay warm. Also, cold water helps your hair hold in the vitamins in your shampoo and contioner as well as enhancing volume.
Water is your best friend. It fills you up and also keeps your skin looking good, not dry or yellow.
Every now and then, buy tampons or pads. Keep them with you and throw them out as if you had used them; this will allay suspicion that you've lost your period due to being too thin.
Drink a full glass of ice water at least 3 times a day. Good hydration reduces hunger, and it's good for your skin.
Sip water between each bite of food; it fills you up faster and (Mias) makes purging easier.
Don't brush your teeth immediately after purging; it pushes the stomach acid into your teeth and they will rot faster.
Gargling with salt water reduces inflammation after purging.
"Spend" your calories on healthy things such as protein and vegetables; why be thin and dead?
Layers, people, layers upon layers of clothing! Keeps you warm and keeps people from noticing how thin you've become. Gloves and hats are wonderful, too.
Use noise to cover the sound of purging: music, shower, running water, anything to drown you out.
Lanugo is your body's natural defense against the cold; a fine, feather-like hair may grow over your body to compensate for lack of insulating fat. Got lanugo? Shave! It may be awkward (ladies) to shave your face, but trust me, it's better than the alternative.
Manicures/pedicures hide brittle nails.
Use volumizing shampoo and shine-enhancing conditioner (I really like Pantene Pro-V Full and Thick) to help manage your thinning hair.
If you keep a thinspiration book, food journal, or anything like that, write in code! I suggest a Phoenician alphabet.
Clear your internet history after viewing ED/diet sites. Tools -> Internet Options -> Clear History.
Caffeine reduces hunger and gives you energy to get through your day.
Taking antacids will help reduce hunger pains. Also, chewing tablets like Tums after purging will help nutrilize the acid.
After purging, drink pedialyte. It rebalances your electrolites. An electrolite imbalance can lead to all kinds of bad bad things, including death.
Gum, coffee, and diet soda. Drink or chew constantly and you won't feel hungry.
Drinking something warm fills you up and reduces hunger pangs.
Drinking something cold makes your body burn extra calories to keep you warm.
Random Thing I learned from my dad: Mushrooms have No Nutritional Value, someone can starve to death, but yet still be eating mushrooms.
How To Hide
Wear baggy clothing and lots of layers. This will hide weight loss and help keep you warm.
Pack a a bag lunch to bring school, and make sure people see you make it. Then, when you get to school, throw it out or give it to someone else.
Hide diet pills in your piggy bank. I did this for months and no one ever knew. Rotate where you hide them, too, just in case any gets suspicious.
If you keep an ana or food journal, carry it with you at all times. Never leave it lying around for other people to find.
Another journal tip: don't write in your language, or don't use the regular alphabet. I like the Phoenician alphabet myself, and Elvish looks really cool. The Omniglot site has tons of alphabets you can use.
Purge in the shower, or turn on loud music to cover up the sound.
The Opaque Cup Trick (spitting out food into an opaque cup instead of eating it) is very risky and should only be done in emergencies. Better to spit it out into a napkin; that way, if caught, you can say you bit into something gross.
Putting band-aids over your knuckles when purging will help prevent scarring, which is a major indicator of an eating disorder.
If you know that you're going to purge (with laxatives or through vomiting), complain loudly that you feel sick. Make a big show if it. That way, if someone catches you, they won't be suspicious. Obviously this won't work if you do it constantly, though.
Using a nail-growth nailpolish (such as Nailtiques) will keep your nails from becoming brittle, which is an indication of malnutrition.
This may seem obvious, but it's difficult: don't constantly talk about food and/or your body. First off, people don't like it. Secondly, obsession and preoccupation with food and your body is sure to tip someone off that you have a problem.
Leave dirty dishes and food wrappers lying around the house; that way, people will think you've been eating. Do this enough and you may even be able to use it as an excuse to skip meals
Hiding it from your doctor (not proven to work just found them)
Drink a lot of water before you go. A pint of water (16 oz) is about a pound. Note: This won't work well for you if they do a urinalysis (make you pee in a cup); your doc will totally know you've been water-loading.
Practice meditation to control your heartrate. It may sound stupid, but this saved my *** a few times. A side-effect of starvation is that your heart doesn't hold up very well when you go from lying to sitting to standing; your pulse tends to skyrocket. Focus your mind on slowing it down.
Blood pressure is a tricky thing. Like your heartrate, your BP is negatively affected by starvation. If anyone can tell me how to keep this stable, I'd be damned glad to know!
Dress warmly; even if they make you put on a paper gown, your body will hopefully retain enough heat that your temperature will be somewhat normal.
Do anything to make yourself weigh more: drink water (see above), wear big shoes or a giant belt, put change in your pockets, anything. Ladies, some coins in your bra add weight, and you won't have to take off your undies for weighing!
If your throat is sore from purging, make an obvious fuss about it; say you've been waking up with a sore throat for a week now. That way, when your doc checks, he/she won't be surprised to see redness and irritation.
Lanugo is a dead give-away. The razor is your friend.
Speaking of razors. Cuts, burns, scratches, bruises...anything you do to harm yourself...it will ring alarm bells with any doctor. You know your body and you know how long it will take to heal. You also know when your doctor's appointment is (hopefully). Make sure you're all healed up before you go see your doc, and if he/she notices any scars, say you've stopped and you don't plan on starting. I know how hard it is to "just not cut," but trust me, it's better than the alternative.
Your doctor is held to confidentiality. Anything you say during your appointment cannot be repeated unless you say so. So if your doc isn't fooled and confronts you about your eating disorder, tell him/her you want this to be kept confidential. This is especially important if you're under 18, since some doctors will go ahead and tell your parents anyway...UNLESS YOU SAY OTHERWISE. Don't try to deny it; you'll just make things worse.
Exercises
Crunches, three sets of 100: Lie on your back with your feet flat and your knees bent. Put your hands behind your head and bring your shoulders/upper torso up off the floor. Then lower back down. Tip: For more of a challenge and to work different sets of muscles, try doing these with your calves in the air parallel to the floor, or with your feet up above your head. (My PE teacher made us do the above-the-head ones...ouch, but it worked.)
Push-ups, three sets of 15: You can do these the "girly" way or the "manly" way. The girly way, you have you knees on the floor. The manly way, you have your feet on the floor. I recommend starting the girly way and then upgrading to the manly way when your arms are stronger. Lower your upper body as close to the floor as you can, and then push yourself back up. Tip: Bring in a Jedi mind trick if it gets tough: Bring the ground close to you, and then push it away.
Lunges, three sets of 25 for each leg: Stand with your feet together. Then step one foot out and bend both knees; the thigh of your front leg should be parallel to the floor, as should the calf of your back leg. Then stand and step back to your starting position. Switch legs and repeat. Tip: I usually do a set with one leg and then a set with the other. This keeps me from tiring out too quickly.
Candles, three sets of 20: Lie on your back with your legs straight up in the air (or as straight as you can get them) and your hands either flat on the floor or behind your head. Lower your legs to about a 45- or 60-degree angle, then bring them back up to vertical, and push your butt up in the air so that only your upper torso is still on the floor. Lower your butt back to the floor. Tip: The lower you lower your legs, the more it will work your abs. You can also bring crunches into this by keeping your upper torso off the floor while you bring your legs back up.
Bicycle, to 3 songs: This is done while playing music...hence the "3 songs" part. Lie on your back and move your legs as if you are riding a bicycle. The songs you choose should equal about 10 minutes total. So no 45-second punk rips or 20-minute techno mixes. An average of 3:20 is good. Tip: I like to listen to "ana" songs while I do these because it keeps me motivated. Here's a list.
Reasons to Be Thin
Because my skinny clothes are SO much cuter than my fat clothes.
Because it feels great to walk into a store and be able to try on anything.
Because it feels great to have to ask for a smaller size.
Because there really is no such thing as too thin.
Because nothing beats the feeling of a size 0 falling off my hip bones.
Actually, nothing beats seeing my hip bones.
Because I'm sick and tired of comparing my current self to my skinny self and feeling sad about it.
Because the fatter I am, the more I want to cut.
Because I haven't heard, "Wow, you're so thin!" in a long time.
Because "You look healthy now" really means "My God you're so fat!" (or at the very least "My God you're not skinny!")
Because it feels better to be teased for being too thin than too fat.
Because eating makes me miserable.
Because I was never ready to recover in the first place.
Because the Christmas presents I got last year don't fit this year.
Because I may as well just finish what I started.
Because when a guy picks you up, he'll tell you how light you are, and can easily carry you upstairs, lay you down softly, and kiss you good night. (From Chrissy)
Because being thin makes you prettier. (from IL)
Because bones equal pretty, and fat equals ugly. (From IL)
go to google and type in eating disorders
i luv pro ana websites but they're not good ideas and i'll probs jus get told off if i give them 2 you... im ana mia and if u need 2 chat message me xxxx
Why do people encourage eating disorders? Honestly.. they're a total hell. I've been anorexic, bulemic in several forms, binged.. they're hell. I don't get why you want to continue. You want to look attractive, but really, no one wants to date someone with an eating disorder because its foul and discusting and ends up being a burden on the person you're dating. I'm pro at hiding and not gaining weight, but I would never help someone do it because it's stupid and will only cause you problems, physically and mentally, further down the road. I suggest you take slow steps into stopping, possibly going to a rehab if you're bad enough like I was.
