My Struggle with Ana and Search for Ultimate Perfection: I'm out of my mind.....please feel free to leave a message.

1) Drink a glass of water every hour. It boosts your metabolism and makes you feel full;

2) Drink ice-cold water, your body burns more calories raising the temperature of the water and it's great for your complexion;

3) Drink green tea, it boosts your metabolism and the anti-oxidants are also great for your skin;

4) Alternate every mouthful of food with a mouthful of water, it makes you feel fuller quicker and you will eat less;

5) Drink boullion/stock cubes. They only have 7 cals, taste great and fill you up;

6) Take vitamins every day but not on an empty stomach as they need food to be assimilated i.e. fat soluble vitamins need at least a little fat for absorption;

7) Spicy foods raise your metabolism;

8) Use smaller plates/utensils, you will feel like you've eaten more;

9) Only eat from dark coloured plates/bowls;

10) If you feel tempted to eat when you shouldn't, count to 100 first, you should lose the urge;

11) Keep active, you are less likely to be pre-occupied with thoughts of food/eating;

12) Try to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night, otherwise your metabolism can be lowered by up to 15%;

13) Spend time doing things you love to do; you are more likely to feel fulfilled and will spend less time obsessing about food and weight;

14) Pamper yourself, take a bath, give yourself a facial, give yourself a manicure/pedicure, anything to make you feel good about yourself;

15) Spend at least 20 minutes a day meditating and visualising;

16) Take up yoga (even just buy a yoga book and do the exercises in your bedroom);

17) Keep good posture, sitting up straight can burn up to 10% more calories;

18) Instead of buying food, buy something nice like candles, some new clothes or make-up. There's no point in buying food and then beating yourself up so much after you've eaten it that you end up feeling even worse.

I'm out of my mind.....please feel free to leave a message.

Have you ever found being alone with your own thoughts the most impossibly unbearable place you could be? And there's no escape! That's how I'm feeling this weekend. Part of me has really wondered whether I can keep going. The depths of despair my head manages to bring me to just make seem like it's all now worthwhile anymore.....I'm losing myself right now. I need to find ana again, she's the only thing that helps me feel in control. I need to be perfect. I must be perfect.

I haven't really eaten anything today but for some reason it's not making me feel any better. I don't know what I'm supposed to do!

I have good reason for my current level of self-loathing and feelings of worthlessness. I will post again later and explain all but for the moment, I'm going to read some of your' blogs in an effort to find some semblence of sanity again. C x
