Mia and Ana are a part of my life now. Well, more specifically just Mia i have had it for about a year now. This is my first blog and I'm not "pro" anything. I made this to help others deal with their ED. Hateful and abusive comments will not be tolerated.
My story started as a fat kid. I was always bigger than everyone. I was at least a foot taller and wayyyyyy wider, then I got into sports and the pounds fell off. I was still fat, just more muscle. Then i suffered from a debilitating knee injury and I was told by my uncle/ physical therapist that i was fat and should work on losing weight. This was horrible to hear. I knew i was fat but to have someone i trusted and loved tell me to get thin rocked my world. I then stopped eating regular meals and started eating fruits maybe three to four times a day. I would consume under 500 cals per day. I broke down at a family gathering and had all of the fatty foods you could thing of. I was desperate so i purged and instantly felt better. So now my daily routine is fruit in the morning nothing for lunch then binge/purge in the afternoon. So far i have been able to control my Mia only purging at the most 2 times a day. I've lost 50lbs so far.
So now the good stuff..... tips!
MIA
1) drink toooooooooooooons of water while binging, about 2-4 cups or 24-36 oz
2) BUBBLES! Any fizzy drinks (diet soda, sparkling water, etc.)will help the food come up better! I prefer Diet Dr. Pepper.
3)Use multiple fingers to purge and wiggle them around.(I prefer 4)
4)Use a tooth brush! It may sound weird, but it really works! Rotate it back and forth.
5)If you have them, use latex gloves so your nails don't scratch your throat.
6)No spicy foods. If they were hot going down theyll be hotter coming up.
7)Eat something at the end if your binge that coats your throat, like honey or pudding or a banana.
8)Turn up the music so your parents dont hear you purge.
9)Push on your stomach as you purge, it get more food up.
10)Drink smart water or vitamin water to restore electrolytes after you purge.
11) Use Mouth wash instead of brushing your teeth after you purge. Brushing right after takes enamel off.
12) Don't eat scratchy/crunchy/chunky foods, chips, frosted flakes, etc.
13)Don't kneel in front of the toilet stand up and bend over. This helps A TON.
14)Ice cream is one of the BEST binge foods it comes up really easily and tastes great too!
15)Drink water in between purges while your over the toilet it helps the food come up as your purging.

1)Think to yourself is this momentary pleasure worth a lifetime of fat?
2)Have a low cal and high cal day, say you eat 400 4 days then 800 the fifth and continue your fluctuation with different caloric intakes per day.
3)Try to eat a minimal of 300 cal per day. If you eat less it slows down your basal metabolic rate and makes you FATTER! You can find out your BMR here: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/
4) Gradually eat more and more calories per day. Then drop it ,this can reduce plateauing.
5) Picture yourself eating something really nasty and try to throw off your appetite.
