actual “tips”

it’s normal to fluctuate 2-4 lbs per day. if you’re restricting, the fluctuations are larger because you bloat MUCH easier.

however, since there are around 3500 calories in 1lb of fat, it takes a little less than 2 days to burn off a single pound of fat. your fluctuations will make it seem like you’re losing much faster some days and like you’re not doing anything at all others, but it’s not an indication of how “good” you’ve been in a particular week, or few days.

those posts that say “reblog to lose 10lbs this week’’ or whatever? yeah, if that happens, it’s fluctuation! so if it doesn’t, don’t feel bad— over a long period of time, you really cannot expect to lose more than 1/2 a lb per day even if you could sustainably fast for that entire time, which isn’t realistic and will lead to binging if you’re even slightly prone to it.

sustainable weight loss is ALWAYS better— eating around 1000-1500 per day plus whatever you burn off from exercise will result in a 1-2 lb loss consistently per week, and it’s much easier to structure your eating so you don’t binge. you’ll probably lose MORE weight this way.

keep ur goal in the healthy weight range, though. you don’t want skin that is patchy and prone to acne, bone problems that will hurt you for the rest of your life, brittle and dull hair, nails that break all the time, poor circulation leading to discoloration in the skin, a grayish tint to your skin, etc. some of us tend to romanticize the effects of being underweight like bruising, being shaky, dark circles, etc, but do you really want constantly patchy, simultaneously acne-prone and dry skin? probably not. also, do you want to never be able to go out and enjoy your body because you’re so exhausted all the time?

“But I can’t have an eating disorder!!”

I say shocked as I dissociate and fantasize about my thighs no longer touching and my tummy grumbles from fasting the past 2 days

Anyone else go rapidly back and forth between denying and recognizing their ed because I do a LOT it’s crazy

Comment yours I'm lawful ednos and chaotic anorexic lol

Hard pills to swallow:

Losing weight is actually a very simple thing to do, but your lack of patience and complete disregard for your own health will inevitably lead you into a never ending binge/restrict cycle, preventing you from reaching your goals

no, you won't lose 10 lbs over night

no, you won't notice changes right away

no, you won't go down two sizes in a day

No you won't become thin in just a few days

but you will eventually

one day you'll notice your pants won't stay up anymore

one day you'll shower and look down your body and your tummy will have shrunken

one day you'll see how promintent your collarbone has become

one day you'll put on a bra and notice your ribs are slightly showing on your chest

one day people will comment how slim you've become when they see you or hug you

i promise you it will happen

just don't lose hope, don't lose motivation, don't lose your dream

You. Can. Fucking. Do. This.

✨I’m trying really hard to stop eating so I can fit into some small sized clothes I ordered online, someone please send me some meanspo! ✨
