       127 TIPS AND TRICKS
       1. Keep a thinspiration book. Get a really nice journal or
       something and print
       pictures of skinny models, tips, quotes, or workouts, and glue
       it in there. Look
       through it whenever you want to binge.
       2. Keep a stack of magazines weighing the same amount you want
       to lose.
       When you lose weight remove some magazines from the stack. It
       will be
       thinspirational to see that pile slowly start to get smaller.
       Use fashion magazines
       so that they also can inspire you as you remove as you lose.
       3. Eat on a blue or black plate. Dark colors usually make you
       feel fuller, faster.
       Better yet, eat on small dark plates.
       4. When you want to eat something you shouldn't, make a list of
       all the reasons
       you shouldn't, and read it at least 20 times.
       5. When you get a craving, count to 100 really slowly, and it
       might pass. Dr.s say
       that counting changes the minds direction in thought.
       6. If you live by yourself, put up motivational pictures or
       numbers on the unsafe
       foods. Stick your goal weight on the wall or on your favorite
       jar of peanut butter or
       jelly.
       7. Get one of those three ring binders and make a section for
       each part of the
       body. Put all the exercises you've got in there according to
       what body part there for.
       8. Pick one food for the day,look under the fat burning food
       section on this site or
       you can eat something like an apple. Cut it into 4 quarters. Eat
       one part for
       breakfast, one for lunch, one for dinner, and you've got one
       left over for a snack.
       9. Take a Polaroid picture or a cell phone picture of yourself
       wearing nothing but
       your underwear. When you want to binge, look at it, and see all
       that fat that you
       need to get rid of? Carry it in your wallet or phone whenever
       you go somewhere
       where there will be food.
       10. If you live by yourself and prone to binges, buy only the
       food you need for the
       day. That way if you eat it, there isn't anymore.
       11. Eat with the opposite hand you normally do. Left handed
       people eat with their
       right hand, and vice versa.
       12. Wear a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you
       want to eat.
       You'll train yourself not to think about eating. This also works
       for trying to quit
       smoking.
       13. ALWAYS DO A CLEANSE TO CLEAN OUT YOUR BODY
       14. Clean something gross the bathroom, or if you have cats like
       me clean the
       litter box when you want to eat.
       15. Wear tight jeans so you remember how much weight you have to
       lose. Always
       keep a pair that is to small for this!
       16. Pour tons of something gross on your food like salt or
       pepper so you can't eat
       it. (if your eating out, use the former, and say you
       accidentally put too much salt or
       pepper on your food.
       17. If you get really bad headaches it could possibly be from
       dehydration so drink
       lots of water. Take multi-vitamins and sport drinks.
       18. Eat in front of the mirror. Hell, eat in front of the mirror
       naked and see how
       much you want to eat then.
       19. Drink herbal teas. They have no calories. If you don't like
       them unsweetened,
       buy some stevia, its like sugar, but no calories.
       20. When you get the urge to eat chew sugar free gum. Just make
       sure you keep
       track of how much you have. Most kinds have 5 calories a piece.
       21. Freeze your foods. I freeze fruits and yogurts and flavored
       ice cubes. Frozen
       yogurts take forever to eat so you feel occupied longer.
       22. When you go to a restaurant order something that's not too
       unhealthy. Put half
       of to the other side of the plate and say your going to eat it
       tomorrow for lunch. Then
       eat half of what's on your plate and "forget" to ask them to bag
       it for take out for you.
       Or cut your plate in half and push the other half around the
       plate to fill it.
       23. Eat breakfast and lunch or just breakfast, never eat dinner
       cause if you eat
       dinner you don't give your body enough time to burn off the
       calories or you can eat
       all three small meals but finish the last bit of eating at least
       four hours before you
       go to sleep. This way your metabolism will burn it up before you
       get into bed.
       24. Go shopping and try on clothes that you wish you could fit
       you and that should
       keep you focused and on track of your goals.
       25. Pinch all your fat if you want to eat and see how disgusting
       it is and then you'll
       think that if you eat you'll just add more to it and you don't
       want that.
       26. If you can go to your kitchen and take all the bad foods
       that you know you will
       binge on please just go and throw them away.
       27. Make sure you get enough calcium. Take your vitamins.
       28. If you sit a lot every hour get up and go crazy start doing
       knee lifts with your
       arms up or some jumping jacks and toe touches or jumping
       stupidly or anything
       like that it will boost your metabolism for a little.
       29. Stay away from food and the kitchen (unless your parents are
       around, then
       pretend like you just finished getting a snack)
       30. Have you ever noticed that most people who you see eating
       are fat? Well
       remember this if you eat like them you'll be as fat as them.
       31. Try to plan how much your going to eat and what there's a
       30% more chance
       you wont over eat then.
       32. Look at super models do they look like they eat? They eat
       very small meals
       many times a day but small meals girl!!
       33. A calorie is a calorie so it doesn't matter what kind you
       eat just eat under 1000
       and you'll lose weight. 3500 calories equal a lb!
       34. Make a meal plan with all the days and put the limit of
       calories you'll allow
       yourself to after you eat write down what you ate. Keep a food
       diary
       35. To keep a binge from coming go outside and go for a walk, do
       20 push ups and
       then 20 jumping jacks after you won't feel like eating anymore.
       Better yet, do them
       in front of the mirror. If you see what moves up and down you
       wont feel like eating
       as much.
       36. To boost your metabolism and keep you feeling full drink
       several green tea's

       37. Every dieter should eat greens or take a supplement for
       them... eat your
       veggies.

       your digestive
       system and also keeps you from feeling any reflux.
       39. Caffeine is great ~ it decreases appetite you can use other

       metabolism.
       45. Don't slouch, try to sit up straight ~ you burn more
       calories and tighten your
       tummy that way.
       46. Dress accordingly when you are thin you should be carrying
       something with
       you to keep from shaking. Family and friends get worried if your
       cold and they are
       not.
       47. Lack of sleep stimulates your appetite. It is proven that
       most people who sleep
       at least 6 hours a day lose more weight and are less hungry.
       48. Spicy foods boost the metabolism.
       49. Eat negative cal foods. Fat Burning Foods

       does work.
       77.Limit Alcohol consumption. This is empty calories.

       restraint.
       79. The 3B's BAKE,BROIL,BOIL ALL YOUR FOODS!
       80.Try Magnetic rings on your fingers. This is supposed to help
       you lose weight in

       81. Learn how to stand on your head. This sounds stupid,but it

       yourself from Food.
       87.Get a Tan. Okay, I know the sun is bad for you and so is the
       tanning beds. But,

       today that don't
       make you look orange.
       88.AVOID FRIED FOODS.
       89. When eating a meal try to only eat one of every food group.
       One protein, One
       starch and One veggie. This will help the body digest easier.
       That means no
       cheeseburgers this has two proteins meat and cheese.
       90. Get a job working in a gym/health club. This is what I did.
       I got certified and got
       a part time job teaching at my local gym. I was spending so much
       time there
       working out that I got a job to get paid for all the time I was
       working out. You stay in
       shape and you make a little money.
       91.Get diet samples. Pay for shipping and handling if you have
       to. Most free
       samples come for one portion. The samples that you pay for
       shipping and handling
       usually have enough samples inside for a week or two. So
       remember when
       looking for something.... If it is completely free/ it is not
       enough to do anything.
       92.Balance. Walk with a book on your head. This helps with
       posture and balance
       and tightens the tummy.
       93.Moisturise. Always keep your skin moisturised. There is no
       reason for your skin
       to look saggy. Start now and those saggy skin folds will tighten
       up.
       94.Massaging your body and face will help increase circulation.
       You can do this
       yourself with a BALINESE OIL.
       95.Find a Buddy. Weight loss always comes easier with a buddy.
       96.Buy a food piggy bank. Every time you want to spend money on
       food that you
       should not eat... Put that money in your piggy and buy so
       mething beneficial for your
       lifestyle.
       97. Put your fork down. Try putting your fork or utensils down
       between bites when
       eating. ... Chew more.
       98. Write down the good and the bad points. Separate the page
       with a line and list
       them one by one. On each side. Good reasons to stay on your diet
       and Bad
       reasons to go off your diet.
       99.Arrange your house so you wont eat... Put things away in high
       places you can't
       reach. If you have to get a chair to cheat you might think
       twice.
       100. Take a long bath or hot shower. This helps to distract the
       mind and
       increases blood circulation.
       101. Lemon. Cut a fresh lemon and smell it. This helps with
       appetite control. Also
       Orange...
       102.Fresh ginger can also work as an appetite suppressant.
       103.Keep your New Years Resolution! Stay focused on your goals
       to be thin!
       104.Try to get E Coupons for your diet products.
       105. This is a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen trick... Put red
       lipstick on perfectly. If
       you eat it will get all messed up and all over your teeth.
       106. If you have to taste it.... do it chew it and spit it out!
       Please do not make this a
       habbit! It is really gross!
       107. Three words: Crest White Strips. Here’s the deal. You’re
       supposed to wear
       these on your upper and lower teeth for 30 minutes each, 2x a
       day. And you
       definitely cannot eat while you’ve got these babies on. You can
       have up to 2 hours a
       day of literally not being able to eat! If you put them on about
       15 minutes before
       dinner then you can’t eat dinner with your family and they’ll
       have to let you eat on
       your own later. It’s perfect
       108.. Ride out the hour. When you start to get hungry, just tell
       yourself that you’ll
       wait until the end of the hour to eat anything. That way you’ll
       have time to think about
       whether or not you really want those calories, and you’ll also
       feel really powerful
       since you’ve proved to yourself that you can go for that time
       without food.
       109. Exercise before you eat. It will give you more time to
       think over what you really
       want to eat, and when you do eat you’ll be more comfortable with
       it since you just
       burned some calories.
       110.This is a little different than what other pro-ana sites may
       say. Instead of
       lowering the temperature while you sleep, raise the temperature.
       Sleep in
       sweats and under all of your covers. You’ll sweat and lose water
       weight…It’s not
       “real” weight, but you will feel great when you get a look at
       the scale after getting out
       of bed.
       111.If you’re in college, schedule classes around meal times.
       You can’t eat in
       class, can you?
       112. Remember how hard you have worked to get this far... don't
       give up.
       113.Think about how you can buy any clothes you want because
       everything will
       look good on you this will stop you!
       114.You don’t want to be ‘the chubbie girl’ in your group of
       friends try thinking about
       that.
       115.Stop yourself before you eat and think about what you are
       doing. Time it..... The
       cravings for food can pass sometimes in as little as 8 seconds.
       Same goes for a
       cigarette.
       116. The 3 S's SUANA! STEAM! SWEAT! 20 Minutes in a deep sweat
       in the
       suana/steam room you can burn as much calories as a low impact
       exercise and
       get rid of nasty toxins.
       117. Wear heavy shoes. This type of shoe makes it harder for you
       to
       lift your legs thus giving your legs and tummy a real workout!
       118.Avoid White Colored Foods.... sugar,potato,milk,cheese...
       etc.
       119. Try to do more... be the one to get up and get the drinks
       for your friends.
       Instead of saying," while your up can you get me this?" Be the
       person who says
       can I get you anything while I am up.. this keeps you busy and
       active.
       120. The French's Trick... Take 3 bites of everything on your
       plate and that is it...
       taste it all savor those bites and finish.
       121. Eat half and throw the rest away. You wont eat anything out
       of the
       garbage... please don't. This sounds wasteful but it is a good
       trick to show some
       restraint against yourself indulgence.
       122. It takes 4 hours sometimes for your body to start to really
       digest the food you
       have eaten.... try not to eat in between those times... and
       remember this before you
       go to bed. Set a time when the kitchen and eating is off limits
       for the day ... make it 4
       hours before bedtime.
       123. Remember to get enough sleep.... This is key to losing
       weight. Staying up long
       hours puts strain on the body and it starts to store fat because
       it feels the strain. 6-8
       hours is best and you will see the weight come off faster if you
       get enough sleep.
       This also gives the muscles a chance to rejuvinate.. which gives
       your body a fit and
       slimmer look!
       124. When losing weight the areas of your body that have extra
       fat..... like your boobs
       (breasts,tits whatever) they will get saggy looking and shrink.
       To avoid this
       disgusting trasformation sleep with moisturizing lotion on the
       breasts and a bra...
       this will keep your boobs from sagging so much and looking like
       prunes.
       125.Eat melons.... not only are they yummy but because they are
       an alkaline food
       they prevent you from getting sick and settle the stomach first
       thing in the
       morning better for you actually than the grapefruit which is an
       acidic food!
       126. Eat a fruit for breakfast and nothing else... this is what
       the fit for life diet plan is
       based on. I do this anyway, but in case you didn't know it..
       fruit in the morning
       makes the digestive system pick up speed... also exercise before
       you eat
       breakfast.. this also burns more calories.... calories in burn
       them out!
       127. Remember that you can't take an escalator to success you
       have to take the
       stairs...

       So I am new to this site. But, I am having some trouble with
       eating and my hunger. I take meds in the morning so I have to
       eat in order to not get sick. Is there any other way to not get
       sick after taking my meds, but not have to eat? And when I get
       hungry, i put gum in my mouth. Is that a good way to keep
       yourself from getting hungry? Idk. I need some suggestions and
       some tips. Can anyone help?
       :-\

       Hunger happens.
       You have to eat something or die.  So possible responses to
       hunger:
       * Go for a walk
       * drink a glass of water.
       * drink a glass of water with metamucil in it. (Caution -- no
       more than 3 a day.  Can increase slowly)
       * Eat something healthy -- an apple, a boiled egg.
       Hunger is in your mind, not in your belly.
       Lean into your hunger.  Grab it in your mind and squeeze it.
       What colour is it?  Now squeeze into a little ball.  Smaller and
       smaller.  Put it in a box.  Put the box on a shelf.
       Get back to work.
