How to get through the Holidays

I know many other ana's can relate to the undeniable fear that comes hand in hand with the joy of the holidays. Thanksgiving and christmas break, while a nice little get away from classes, can also mean racking your brain for excuses and times to throw up all the food thrown at you. My goal is to get away from the holiday having gained no weight, and I've come up with a plan to do it. Last thanksgiving I threw up 11 times in one day, do you have any idea how sore my throat was?! Here's a few tips on how to survive the holidays as best you can, without having to completely sacrifice your ana ways.

1. Dont snack! Snacking is the easiest way to stack up calories.

2. On thanksgiving, eat the one meal only. Load your plate with the veggie portions and eat slow. 

3. If you can sneak off to throw up the food when everyones napping, eat green or red stuff first so you know when it all comes up.

4. Only drink water.

5. Usually people eat lots of leftovers of the holiday cooking. Don't. 

6. If you're helping bake, chew gum. Don't take bites of everything you make. 

7. Only eat when others are watching...like why else would you? 

8. Fast before and fast after. The couple days of calorie consumption will trick your metabolism if you do it between fasts.

Thats all I can think of for now.

Stay strong.

XOXO.
