I have a fear in the back of my head.
If I lose the weight, and I reach my goals, will my boyfriend compliment me more?
Will he think I'm better looking than I am now?
What if he's lied this whole time, "You're beautiful just the way you are."
How far would I go to keep hearing his praise.. the skinnier the more compliments?
me: “wow, what a healthy, low calorie meal i’ve just eaten!”
me to me: throw it up
your problem areas won’t be the first to shed that weight, it will be either your face, your hands, your ankles etc
when you lose weight, you realize that you and shrek are very much alike, we have layers (of fat). you will not instantly lose weight on your belly, hips, thighs, arms, where ever it is that you’re trying to specifically lose weight from, you will lose weight all over, this is why it’s hard for us to notice weight loss
the last place you gained fat on is the first to lose that fat off, the first place you gained fat on will be the hardest to lose that fat off
don’t listen to the scale, those few pounds that never seem to leave or you have gained are probably muscle growth, get yourself measuring tape to calculate your weight loss
you see yourself every day, be aware that it’ll be hard for you to notice any difference, but trust me, everyone around you is seeing it happen
weight loss takes time, don’t give up so quick

If you ever want to talk: My Tumblr ask is always open.
you know what’s really hard that I don’t see a lot of posts about? Organizing your friends into categories of “fatter than me” and “skinnier than me” just because of my ED. Like i don’t mean to, and I love all my friends equally, but it just happens. “hang out with her, you’ll look skinnier since she’s ‘fatter’” and “she’s skinnier than you, eventually you’ll look better than her”. Sometimes I hate my brain.
Okay, to tone your body, you need to do light exercise, and it’s not even that hard, I promise. Let’s say you ate 500 calories that day: try and burn 600+ calories.
That may seem like a shit-load, but just by taking the stairs at school you can burn around 200 cals.
Exercise free calorie burners: Cold water Stairs Sleep – get enough sleep, and you can’t eat if you’re asleep Cleaning
In The Morning: You can do a butterfly stretch – this creates a thigh-gap with no muscle Drink cold water – this wakes your metabolism up Take a coldish bath/shower – it takes calories to heat you back up Eat something small for breakfast. I try to always have a bite in the morning because otherwise, I tend to binge later on.
At Night: Try and do a 300 calorie burning workout, right before you go to bed – it makes you feel really good when you fall asleep knowing you’ve rid your body of these calories Sip on a lot of water – this’ll make you pee Butterfly Stretch again Yoga is good for toning. Look up easy positions to do and then become a pro at them
Exercises
100 jumping jacks = 100 calories 100 squats = 100 calories 100 crunches = 100 calories 100 push ups = 100 calories
100 calories: 40 jumping jacks 30 crunches 20 squats 10 push ups 100 calories: 60 secs running in place 25 jumping jacks 10 push ups 20 crunches 60 secs running in place Really, you can combine these in any order and quantity. Happy starving <3
This way people can see they’re not alone. I have them and this would help me see that.
