Starvation mode does too fucking exist, your body will lower its metabolic rate, that’s why you still lose a lot but gain 15lbs after one chip, YOU NEED TO VARY YOUR INTAKE
Diet soda and coffee are not a fucking cure all and if you live off of it, you can and will get kidney stones, YOU NEED TO DRINK WATER AND LIMIT DARK DRINKS TO 1 -2 A DAY
Apple cider vinegar should not be taken in fucking shots, do not try and chug it, it’s a fucking vinegar, you will get burns down your throat and your stomach, it literally hurts worse than purgingand ruins your teeth faster, YOU NEED TO DILUTE IT IN SOMETHING
If you get dizzy or start passing out, your blood sugar and electrolytes are probably too low, DO NOT IGNORE THIS, DO NOT JUST LAY DOWN, DO NOT JUST DRINK A DIET SODA AND BRUSH IT OFF, you can fucking die from this, a girl I was in the hospital with had heart failure in the middle of therapy, YOU NEED SOME FAST ACTING CARB LIKE A JUICE OR FRUIT AND YOU NEED TO REPLINISH YOUR ELECTROLYTES
Do not ever fucking use a stimulant laxative!!!! Taking laxatives to lose weight is dumb we all know this, BUT I know none of us can shit anyway SO take an osmotic laxative!!! Unlike a stimulant laxative which is addictive and ruins your colon, osmotic laxatives just draw water into your colon to help ease the stool out! IT TAKES A FEW DAYS OF REGULAR DOSES TO WORK AND IT WILL ADD ON A LITTLE WATER WEIGHT BUT IT WILL HELP, THE WATER WEIGHT WILK GO AWAY
Do not ever fucking purge!!! It ruins your teeth and is a fucking addiction!!! You will burn through your esophagus, busy the blood vessels in your eyes, become dehydrated, cause migraines, and make your stomach so used to throwing up when you feel full that in recovery your body will automatically do it, DO NOT PURGE, IF YOU BINGE TAKE A DEEP BREATH, STAY AWAY FROM THE BATHROOM, AND DISTRACT YOURSELF
Ana Tips can and have killed people and personally ruined my fucking life, don’t listen to them, do your own research, do not believe these stupid ProAna accounts who “swear” by these tips
Alright, PSA you all better reblog. ED Community, Listen Up. This is my most important text post ever.
(please excuse misspellings, mentally I’m not doing well and my typing skills have become trash super quick.)
So, we’re going to start this off with a little Storytime.
Let’s go back to Summer 2017. I started getting active on “pro-ana” chatzy chatroom. Got close with some people. Weeks go on, and one night I get a PM from another girl in the group saying she needs to talk to me. Being decent friends at this point, talking privately was cool with me, however the chillness of everything was about to take a turn for the worst. In one of those chatrooms dealing with trolls, people thinking EDs are lifestyles, etc are not uncommon, at the time I didn’t realize the events about to happen were common too.
We had a girl in there with us that things didn’t seem to add up with. It was mainly what she said that didn’t add up, especially when talking about her (who we knew as) fiance. It was just strange. Nonetheless, she was our friend, so I would hang out and do journals with her and talk and everything.
So my friend PMs me saying there’s a missing child in our chatroom. We both are panicking at that point, and she goes on to explain to me that the girl who was acting weird, we’ll call her A, had told another user we were close to that she was a missing child. We had no proof at the time, so my friend asks her about it and A in turn gave her her birth name. She told me and I googled it, sure enough there’s missing persons posters and posts plastered all over my laptop now. A then sends us a selfie, and it’s her without a doubt. Yeah, I couldn’t fucking breathe. She was missing for around a year, missing kids have been found dead after a year and there she was. A went on explaining the situation, come to find out she met this guy who was claiming to be an Ana Coach on a very popular ED forum website. He groomed her, got her to trust him, so she ran away with him. She left behind everything, her medication included. There he starved her and did even more unmentionable things to her. I couldn’t think straight, I didn’t know what to do, and with it being an international server we weren’t sure how to post it. And then my friend ended up messaging A’s family on social media, who contacted the police. Within 24 hours, she was home safe. We did everything we could, my friend even stayed on the phone with her while she was waiting for authorities to arrive. She was on the phone with A when the authorities got her out of that house. We didn’t know how bad it was until the charges were posted. Besides obvious abduction charges, one of the charges was sodomy. SODOMY. that man abused her in every way possible. I felt sick for days knowing we were all blind to her until she was brave enough to say something. It became an international case because my friend was in another country when she contacted A’s parents. We shut down the chatroom, hoping it would never be found, and thankfully the type of chatroom was never made public. Unfortunately it was reactivated by another moderator with permissions to do so.
But why am I posting this? Because I’ve seen people posting about ana coaches way too much.
I get it, it’s tempting, having someone else determine what you can and can’t eat, reporting weight, reporting body checks…but it’s a playground for sexual predators. You NEED to be careful. Especially the minors on here. Please.
Every time I see one of you post about it, I go right back to that hell of a 24 hours. I’m sick again, my heart sinks into my stomach, and I can only imagine what the intentions of your “coach” may actually be. I’m fighting tears as I’m typing this. If it was this traumatizing for me, I can’t imagine how A felt. It’s a situation you can get yourself into so easily and it’s hard to escape from.
I hope you take this to heart if you’re wanting to be apart of these Ana Coach deals so you can take extra steps to protect yourselves. Bodychecks may not be sexual to you, me, or a lot of this community, but unfortunately, they are to some people out there who pray on this side of the internet quite frequently.
Stay safe. Be cautious. Do not do something you have a bad feeling about.
Seriously. It’s not a joke, we aren’t kidding. Being thin is not worth having to live through literal hell.
since weight loss fairies usually don’t work, i’m now setting a curse on anyone who sees this to lose 10-20lbs within the next month, and to get so skinny that their pants are too damn loose on them.
i’m also cursing you all to have rock hard abs and skinny legs and a cute butt by summertime.
i had a experience today where my body overheated i started to lose focus in my schoolwork my heart started beating so loud and fast and hurting like a mf and i thought “omg this is it this is how i die i am going to die in the middle of art class” then i decided to try to alert someone i tapped my friends thigh my breathing was shaky and loud and my face was red and tried to tell her “get the teacher somethings happening” all that came out was a scrambled mumbled sentence and i thought i was about to faint but she understand and the teacher got her to take me real quick and since she knew i was anorexic she got a proteing bar and made me eat that shit and the second i took a bite everything slowly started to calm down and i have honestly never been more terrified
dont take life for granted as someone with an ed it doesnt matter whether your bmi is high or low your heart can stop at any second
This is extreme hypoglycemia!!!!
When you don’t eat, your blood sugar goes DOWN. This causes a variety of symptoms:
-An irregular heart rhythm
-Fatigue
-Pale skin
-Shakiness
-Anxiety
-Sweating
-Hunger
-Irritability
-Tingling sensation around the mouth
-Crying out during sleep
-Confusion, abnormal behavior or both, such as the inability to complete routine tasks
-Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision
-Seizures
-Loss of consciousness
ALWAYS make sure you have a fast acting carbohydrate on you. Orange juice, LifeSavers, (NOT DIET) soda, dried fruits (raisins), bananas, glucose gel/tablets, energy bars, rice cakes, pretzels, other candies.
These will correct your blood sugar (bring it up) in 5-15 minutes!!!!! Eat them when you start to feel faint or right after you pass out. Hydrate yourself as well!!!
Place your head between your knees, this enhances blood flow to your brain. Sit down/remain lying down when you regain consciousness. Get up SLOWLY and when you’re ready. Other options include raising the legs to aid blood flow to the brain as well.
Incredibly important!!
Please guys, i was in the shower one day and was about to get out and i suddenly couldn’t lift my arms or do anything, reality felt like it didn’t exist and my heart was so loud and j could HEAR it skipping beats and everything was oscillating between intense rushes of noise and silence and i have massive black splotches in my eyes and i couldn’t see anything and i dont know how i managed to get out of the shower and the first thing i did was collapse in front of a jar of rock candies j found somewhere in the bottom if my room and i bearly managed to get one out, but i did and oh god i felt ALIVE.
I have never been so scared.
I had a BMI of 21 and had only been restricting for a month.
Verdict is- carry something round with you at all costs. It may genuinely save your life.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BE. SAFE!!!
