back to school with an 3d

below: tips, d1et (+ recipes), & w0rk0ut reupload bc the last one disappeared for some reason

❤︎₊ ⊹ studying is soo important and sometimes dis0rdered e4ting gets in the way, so we have to do everything we can to avoid brain f0g while maintaining high grades!

tips:

make sure you’re getting enough electrolytes! you can do that by drinking lots of sparkling water (or still if you don't like the taste)

eat nutritious foods! some good l0w c4l options are fruits and veggies, eggs, berries, and more

sleep is soo important to keep your brain running!! try to get at least 9 hours or more every night + sleeping helps with avoiding f00d cravings!

even if you don’t e4t the rest of the day, you need to have a protein rich breakfast! that way, you’ll have plenty of energy and your blood sugar will remain low, so you’ll feel satisfied for longer

exerc1se is a must! every time you feel brain f0g coming, go on a walk!! you have to move your body, whether it's for 10 minutes or an hour (more on that below)

caffeine is your best friend! drink your coffee without sugar, but feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon instead!! if you don't like your coffee black, pour in some milk (either almond, coconut, or oat)

dress warm and comfortable!! being sk1nny means being cold all the time and you don't want to get sick!

don't beat yourself up for e4ting. we all make mistakes and sometimes we just have to listen to our bodies and prioritise our wellbeing. just do better next time.

no drugs no cigs no vapes no energy drinks just me against the world rawdogging this disorder

[thegentle-moon]

i have struggled with disordered eating for a while now, and i regularly fast. in the beginning i lost a lot of weight pretty fast but now i haven't lost a lot of weight in a while and i'm getting unmotivated. what do i do to keep loosing weight in sick of being fat lol

I am the same when it comes to losing weight. When I first started fasting and restricting, I lost a generous amount of weight really fast and then got stuck to a specific weight, even when I was trying really hard.

I realised that it can happen, since the body is still adapting and it may need fewer calories to maintain the weight (i also have a slow metabolism). I would say that alternating between fasting and restricting helped me, and I usually have dinner before 7 pm. That way when I go to sleep, my stomach's empty. I also recommend having a bedtime schedule, try to stick to 7 hours of sleep at night or more. And walk. Walking has not only helped me gain stamina but it also increased my metabolism a bit and it's helping me lose weight again. I walk around 10 k steps a day. if you can't take walks or go outside too much, cleaning and doing chores helps because you're walking around and moving. I also cut carbs and anything sugary, though sometimes I do end up having a few bites.

If you also exercise regularly and always do the same stuff, your body might have become used to it. Therefore it might burn less calories than it used to because its more efficient in performing physical activities. So I suggest trying something new when exercising (can be anything, from weights to yoga or rope jumping).

I don't have many useful tips because I'm still figuring this out for myself, but I hope this helped even a bit! (Also, don't take my word for granted, I'm just speaking from personal experience)

take care 🩷

I regret every single bit of money I've ever spent on food.

[thegentle-moon]

Sometimes having a normal 3 meals type of day feels worse than binging.

[thegentle-moon]

Introduction 🌙

Hi! I'm Moon, I'm 19 and I've been struggling with eds since I was 13. I've never had a good relationship with food. It had taken me a couple of years to recover but lately I've reached a breaking point being at my highest w and now I'm back. Posting about this really makes me feel better, and I hope to make lots of moots!

about me 🫀

I love drawing and making art, I also really love writing. I want to become a writer someday.

I love music, Harry Potter, animals, the rain, the moon. I like to sing, to dance, to read, to watch movies and TV shows.

Repost if you’re an 18+ Ed blog

I know there’s more of us out there

[thegentle-moon]

Opening tumblr in public like it's the most normal thing to do is insane (I'm guilty)

[thegentle-moon]

I never want to feel too big in my life again.
