Lose Seven Pounds in Seven Days: Day Two

Day 2: Weigh yourself again! You're going to be doing this every day. The loss you can expect is usually dictated by how your life style regarding food was before this. If you were a chronic emotional eater, probably eating more than 2500 calories every day, you may lose 2-3 pounds today. If you had an average diet (1700-2200 calories) you are almost guaranteed to lose a pound by today, two if you're lucky. If you had previously been restricting, you may lose a pound today or one every other day.

Wakey wakey, tired? Of course you are. That doesn't matter. Push yourself anyway. Do 100 jumping jacks, 100 sit ups, 50 squats, 50 lunges each leg, 20 push ups. Just like yesterday, this is going to be routine. I don't care if your muscles hurt or you feel like you're running on air. Jog in place or run outside for about 15 minutes, then go shower and get ready for school or work. Drink your coffee or tea, this way you don't feel so empty. If you are really that hungry, make broth with a bullion cube to take with you. It will make you feel like you're eating.

At work or school, chew gum all day. Make sure it's sugar free! You don't want all those extra calories! Are your friends hating how grumpy you are? Good. It's been proven that people eat 30% more when they eat with friends than alone. Today you are going to be more tempted. If you get offered food or a snack or even a candy, you can not accept it. Cheating is what leads to bingeing, which is FAILURE. Do you really want to lose weight, or are you just doing this to fool yourself? You are the only one who controls what goes in your mouth. You have complete and total power to say no to cookies and yes to thin. Keep drinking your tea or coffee. Have a book or something to distract yourself when you have spare time. People who eat out of boredom will be most tempted now.

When you finish with school or work and you are home, DON'T EAT OUT OF TIREDNESS. You will want to eat because you think you have no energy. Nope. Take a fruit, not a snack food, but something that grew from the earth, and eat that. You will get real energy and nutrients which will make a bigger improvement than snack foods. No, yogurt does not count as a fruit. Even if it's some sort of fruit flavor, you need real, unprocessed food. It will feel like more because your stomach is adjusting to eating less. Some people will feel more hungry after this because when you start eating, you don't want to stop. This is enough for you to function and do your work, so once you start focusing on something else, the cravings will go away.

Ding ding dinner time! Think you're more hungry than yesterday, so you get to eat more? You really only need the same amount of food. Almost forgot... do some stretches! Making yourself wait longer for food demonstrates control over your body. When you are in control, you are less likely to make irrational decisions with food, and you will probably make healthier choices. Just like yesterday, no meat, no grains. Did you have potatoes yesterday? Doesn't matter, you can't have any today. That's the only vegetable you are served/know how to make? Get experienced then. Make a salad. You can buy premixed salads at the supermarket, they even tell you how many calories are in them. Avoid dressing and croutons, they carry too many calories and if you add some seasonings with far less calories, your salad can still be flavorful. Eat slowly also, wait at least 15 seconds between swallowing your last bite and taking your next. You'll know when you really are full, even if you think it's not possible to be full because your stomach must have some how turned into a black hole because you went more than 36 hours without a cookie...

Count up your calories. How many did you have? Compare them to this chart to see what you're doing today:
1-200: 60 second wall sit, 50 push ups, 50 squats
201-400: ^ + 40 lunges each leg, 45 second plank
401-800: ^^ + five minutes of jumping jacks, 30 minutes of running
801+: ^^ + PURGE IT ALL you only made it this high by CHEATING this is not okay. You are a failure, you probably aren't even taking this seriously.

Tonight, think about how you have done so far. If you have set a goal weight, how far from it are you? Have you kept up with the amount you need to lose every day in order to meet it? You can always reconsider a more realistic goal.

Lose Seven Pounds in Seven Days: Day One

Day 1: Weigh yourself as soon as you wake up, after you've used the bathroom. This is your start weight.

Start off with coffee or tea, black, no sugar. Get moving! Do 100 jumping jacks, 100 sit ups, 50 squats, 50 lunges each leg, 20 push ups. Fired up yet? Good! Jog in place or run outside for about 15 minutes, then go shower and get ready for school or work.

No eating when you are at school or work. You need to focus on what you're learning or doing. Hungry? More coffee or tea!

When you get home, eat an apple, orange, banana, or handful of blueberries. If you are a student, start your homework! Work extra hard on everything, you need to make it all perfect.

Time for dinner? I don't think so! Yoga first! You can look up videos on Youtube or just do some general stretches but it must take at least 15 minutes. Now you can have dinner. Oh wait, oops, just kidding. Drink four cups of water. Now you can eat.... only your veggies. No rice. No bread. No meat. Not even a little. People tell you to? You're forced to eat more? Yeah right, stop making excuses, excuses don't make you skinny. You have to count all the calories. Write down all of them in a diary or in a calories tracking app. How many did you have? That's how many sit ups you have to do. Now. 

Alright, now that your first day is done, you get to shower. Make sure you wash all of the bile down while you purge everything you can force up. Have fun? I'm just getting started.

Hey Fat Ass Guess What?

Stop eating. Fucking stop eating. You'll never be thin. You're browsing a Pro Ana blog, stuffing your face, lard falling out of your trousers, thinking about how much you hate people like me. Why? You're jealous. Jealous of my self control, jealous you're aren't good enough, and pissed off because you know I'm right. I don't care, keeping hating me because I'm right, but you'll never get any where if you don't stop eating.

Control yourself. Don't eat while you are doing anything. You can only be doing one thing at a time. If you're on your laptop and eating, you don't know when you're full. Focus on every damn bite when you are eating, you'll know when you're full. Even if you aren't Pro Ana, knowing when you are truly full will help you drop a few pounds you didn't know you were carrying.

Still hate me? Cool.

Triggered? Well no dug you're on a fucking Pro Ana blog and you read the full post, you obviously knew what you were getting yourself into...

How to be Ana

I know most people say you can't choose to develop an eating disorder, but to some extent, you can learn the habits and tendencies of an eating disordered person. Go ahead and hate me all you want, I don't give a flying fladoodale. "Ana" is not anorexia. "Ana" is starving yourself to lose weight.

1) Keep a food diary. This is actually a 100% normal habit for people who are trying to lose weight. Record every last calorie which enters your mouth. It helps to keep it on your phone or iPod because you can add things right away if you are forgetful. Fitday and MyFitnessPal work perfectly fine.

2) Limit your calories slowly. Everyone gets hungry when they start eating less. Your body doesn't want to lose weight, you do. The less hungry you get, the less likely you are to binge. If your average intake before you began losing weight was more than 2000, begin by restricting to 1500. If it was between 1500 and 2000, start with 1200. Every week, lower it by 100 calories if you kept within target. If you messed up, keep going at that level for another week until you don't mess up. Don't go below intake 500. It's alright, in fact, encouraged to have a net calories of below 300, but you still have to put something in otherwise you will become too tempted to binge.

3) Don't tell people about your weight loss. They will get suspicious.

4) Pick a goal and stick to it. BMI of 16.5 is usually simple to maintain for long periods of time.

5) Don't take breaks unless you are ill or injured.
6) If you want binge, take one bite of the food you want and throw the rest out.

7) Fasting. It is actually very helpful to your body if done correctly. Don't over use diet sodas because that's basically wrecking your kidneys worse than food is. Fast for 48-72 hours. Don't go for longer goals, fasting isn't a sport. Exercise while fasting should be low impact, non sport types. Calisthenics are okay. Walking is good. No running, swimming, exercise equipment involved, or sports.

8) Don't do the ABC diet. Just don't even try. It's full of B.S. and only works for experienced restrictors. Just leave fad diets alone. They are just pretty decorations on restricting.

9) Calorie jumping (2468 diet), high calorie days, and starvation mode only apply if you have less than 12% body fat.

10) Find at least twenty other things to do than eat. Pick up a book or two from the library. Practice/learn to play an instrument. Don't use sports. Play cards. Download phone games and play them. Write practice essays for school/college if you are not in school right now. Do all of your school work. Keep your room clean. These things should be activities not related to eating/eating disorders and you should be able to do them without other people.

11) Ana buddies suck. They never stick around. Ever. There is no such thing as an Ana trainer. Yeah,  Starving in Suburbia was total b.s., pro-ana websites are very supportive places and if you are treated harshly, it's mainly because they don't want you to develop an eating disorder. Ha ha. Too late.

These suggestions will not make you develop an eating disorder. They may trigger someone who was trying to recover, but anyone who read them all the way through was looking to be triggered and was not forced to read them. Do not try and blame me or any website for your eating issues or bad body image. It's not me, I'm just a dying anorexic with no other pleasure than hurting other people.
