Ive Been In Htese Caves For Fucking FOREVER Does Anyone Know What Level U Find Diamodns Now???????????

Anorexia Tips 1-100

Another 100 tips for you beautiful ana’s! Enjoy!

1. Always eat breakfast. Studies prove that those who eat breakfast tend to make better food choices   later in the day. You don’t want to skip off a breakfast of 100 calories for a 500 calorie slice of cake at desert. Besides, breakfast gets your metabolism revved up for the day ahead.

2. If you drink a lot of water on an empty stomach it just makes you gassy. Never fun. Small sips throughout the day is better. You’ll also have to pee a lot.

3. If you have things you shouldn’t (think diet pills, tape measures, thinspo, bag of spat out food, etc.) make sure you hide it. Leaving it below the bed or in your undies drawer is a surefire way to get those things found.

4. Overuse of laxitives and/or diuretics are bad for your body. Over time, abuse of laxitives and diuretics cause incontinence, and embarassment for you. And if you overuse laxitives, when you stop, your body won;t be able to have a proper bowel movement. Use them only on an as-needed basis, as defined by ‘normal’ people. As in, only when constipated.

5. If you sleep less than 6 hours a day, your metabolism goes down between 10-20% depending on the person. And your body produces more of the hormone that makes you feel hungry. So even though you can burn more calories by staying up all night on the exercise bike, opt for the sleep instead if you don’t want to overindulge the next day.

6. Don’t deprive yourself of anything. That just leads to bingeing. If you want chocolate cake, have it, even if it’s on your list of ‘bad foods’. BUT, only have a few small bites. That way, you can enjoy what you want without ruining your diet.

7. Smaller meals throughout the day help keep your metabolism up, burning more calories.

8. Your body burns about 8 calories per glass of ice water trying to get it up to a temperature in which it can be processed. That’s 64 calories a day, translating to about 6 or 7 more pounds burned off in a year. Make ice your new best friend.

9. Fiber keeps you fuller longer, and helps keep your digestive system in good shape, thus reducing the need for all those laxitives.

10. Smaller dishes make it seem like you eat more. You often times eat by eyesight, not by stomach fullness. Studies have shown that in 2 groups, with the same amount of food, but one group using large plates and the other small plates, the group with the small plates reported feeling fuller.

11.Horizontal stripes and light denims make you look larger. Avoid them like the plague (Or maybe not)

12. Purging too hard can rupture your esophagus. You might die alone and in pain hunched over your toilet. Just saying.

13. If you’re having a food craving, and smoke, light up and the craving goes away. However, in a short time, that craving will return with a vengeance.

14. If you have a large binge, then your stomach expands massively, and the pressure kills off blood cells. Over time, this leads to a severely damaged stomach that may rupture. Once again, just like a ruptured esophagus, this could lead to you dying in pain.

15. The negative calorie foods actually only burn about  10% of whatever they put into you. A stick of celery at about 2 cal will only burn off 0.2 cal.

16. Purging doesn’t get rid of all of the calories. You still have about 1/3 or 2/3 of those calories left in you, depending on how soon after you eat you decide to purge.

17. If you wait more than an hour to purge, then there’s no point in doing it. Even if food comes back up, your body will have already absorbed all those calories.

18. Your body doesn’t register the calories from liquid the same way as it does calories from food. Your stomach won’t send the same ‘stop eating’ signals to your brain like with food.

19. A good substitute for soda is ICE Sparkling Water. It has pretty good flavor, small amounts of B Vitamins, and green tea extract, all for 0 calories.

20.  Prolonged fasting/starvation messes up your metabolism.

21. Take a multivitamin every day. Yes, even if it has 5 calories.

22. If your body hits a plateu, a ‘binge’ helps. It makes your body think that you’ve stopped starving yourself. In fact, make it a goal that you have a day a week in which you eat at least 1000 calories if you want your metabolism to work properly (meaning it actually keeps burning calories and digesting food).

23.  Blotting greasy foods like bacon and pizza with a napkin can save you about 100 calories.

24. Whole-grains have fiber and make you fuller longer.

25.  Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

26. Alcohol is calorie dense. Say goodbye to going out drinking with friends unless you plan to be the designated driver.

27.  If you chew and spit it out, you’re doing just as much damage to your teeth as vomiting, maybe even more, because saliva has acid like that in your stomach, that starts digestion.

28. Over time, purging depletes tooth enamel. Yes, dentists can recognize it.

29.  If you cook pasta, don’t use butter. But you get sticky pasta.

30.  When your periods stop, osteoporosis sets in. You could be a 12 year old girl with the bones of an 80 year old woman. Sometimes, your bones never regain the proper density. You’ll become prone to stress fractures and breaking bones. Calcium supplements are gold right here. Buy the ones for elderly people with osteoporosis if you can.

31. Brushing your teeth right after purging causes the enamel to wear off, making your teeth decay faster. Chewing gum or mints releases saliva, doing the same.

32. Drinking a lot of water can make it seem that you weigh more, which can help when visiting the doctor. If a lot of liquid is consumed in a short period of time, you might cause yourself brain damage, swelling of the brain, water logging of the brain…. So be careful about waterlogging.

33.  Dehydration speeds up tooth decay, because you won’t have enough protective enzymes in your mouth to prevent the saliva from doing damage to your teeth. Don’t restrict liquids.

34. Make yourself lunch. A nice big sandwich with a juice and pack of chips. Then when you get to school, give it away to someone who forgot theirs.

35.  If you hide food that you were supposed to have eaten, make sure you do something about it ASAP. Same with the bag of puke in the closet.

36. Be prepared for all the questions of ‘have you lost weight’ and ‘are you eating’.

37. You can only make the excuse of food poisoning a few times before it becomes fishy.

38.  Laxitives don’t affect calorie consumption.

39. The more that you insist that you’re fat, the more likey people are going to become suspicious.

40. Don’t use thinspo with people showing bones. It raises eyebrows.

41. Denying things just makes people get more suspicious.

42. Running to the bathroom right after you eat makes people assume that you’re going to go purge.

43. Hot water fills you up more, but cold water burns  more calories.

44.  When you go into ketosis, your breath is going to smell like hell. Mints are your buddies.

45.  Your body often mistakes thirst for hunger.

46.  Track progress by measuring tapes, not scales or mirrors. Your eyes will show you a hippo, even if you’re a skeleton with a skin covering, and scales get affected by everything, and I mean everything.

47. If you take too many diet pills, or even just one on an empty stomach, it gives you some pretty nasty side effects. Make sure you take one with something food. Like a few bites of an apple.

48. The artificial sweeteners like those in diet soda have been shown in studies to promote the body storing belly fat. And some have been linked to brain tumors.

49. Eating on a dark blue or black plate has the effect of making you eat less.

50. If you want to prevent a binge, just buy the food that you need for the day if you live by yourself.

51. Frozen foods take longer to eat, so you feel occupied longer, and you might feel fuller. Oh, and your body has to burn calories to get it to a temperature that it can be digested, so win all around!

52. If you get bad headaches, it’s probably because you’re dehydrated or your blood sugar is too low.

53. If you don’t eat enough, your blood sugar drops, and then you start feeling weak and dizzy and get horrible headaches.

54. Don’t take aspirin on an empty stomach. It’ll make you puke.

55.  Be careful about sitting with your legs crossed, they might fall asleep and cause you pain, and if you’re thin enough, you might pinch something, leaving you in pain or unable to walk.

56. If you don’t drink enough, you’ll get dehydrated, and then your muscles will hurt like a bitch. And no, painkillers probably won’t do anything for this.

57. It takes about 20 minutes for your body to feel full from the time that you first put a bite of food into your mouth.

58. Some sugar free gums have 3 calories, and some have 5. Even though you aren’t swallowing it, you should count these.

59. Get really good at math. That way, you can easily mentally add up whatever you’ve eaten for the day, without having to write it down. People get suspicious if they come across a food diary.

60. Dress warmly enough to keep warm without making it obvious. People get suspicious if you’re wearing a coat in 90 degree weather, or complaining about being cold while they’re ok or even too hot.

61. Spicy foods and seaweed boost the metabolism. Seaweed soup (35cal) with 1 tbsp soy sauce(10cal) and hotsauce (5cal) makes a great dinner.

62. Eating cabbage to lose weight is good, but smelly.

63. Eating in front of the TV or computer distracts you from feeling full.

64. Eat while standing burns more calories than eating while sitting.

65. Talk a lot and eat very little at lunch or dinner and people won’t notice.

66. Keep food spread out and close to the plate and people will think it’s more.

67. Your skin will turn gray or yellow if you don’t eat right. Tanning might help counteract this.

68. Your hair will get super dry and maybe even turn gray in places. Have extra strength conditioner and hair dye on call.

69. Your nailbeds are going to get blue from lack of nutrients. Find a pretty color nailpolish that you like.

70. Every 20 minutes or so when sitting, get up and take a short walk if you can.

71. Delete your browsing history. It’s hard to explain away your sudden weight loss when there’s all the pro ana tricks in your computer.

72. Weight lost slowly will stay off, whereas weight that is lost rapidly will come back, with more, when you start eating even somewhat normal.

73. If you lose weight too fast, you also lose muscle. When that happens, you burn off calories more slowly.

74. People with more muscle burn off more calories doing the same activities as people with less muscle.

75.  If you burn off too much muscle, then your body burns calories more slowly.

76. Only eat when people are going to notice. And then, only have something small.

77. Excuses will be your new best friend. Use them like a cheap whore.

78. Lack of nutrients make you depressed.

79. Fasting for days on end makes your metabolism go down and increases cravings.

80. Break your exercise up into smaller 5-15 minute blocks. It’s easier to stomach that way.

81. It’s not so hard to put some exercise into your daily life. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to nearby locations instead of driving, clean your house…

82. If you keep doing the same exercise day in and day out, your body will get used to it.

83. If you keep consuming the same number of calories per day, your body gets used to that too. Your metabolism goes down.

84. Coffee on an empty stomach makes you nauseous.

85. Diet pills can sometimes give you heart damage if you use too many or for too long.

86. Losing too much weight too fast might cause organ damage, especially to your heart, since in effect, your heart is just one big muscle.

87. Splenda with fiber is better than sweetener or fiber by itself. Add it to everything you need to make sweeter and you will get more fiber too.

88. Your body takes a long time to digest protein. So eat fish, it leaves a smell behind to make people think you’re eating.

89. Dish out food for yourself, then feed it to the dog below the table. Be careful though because if you feed your dog the wrong thing, you might make him sick.

90.  Heat up food in the microwave and leave the door open. It makes everything smell. Double points if it splatters all over the inside.

91. Leave dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher or on the counter.

92. Take food in a bowl from the kitchen, eat some of it at the dining room table, then act like you’re going back for more. Dump most of the food back into the pot, and leave only a few bites behind. Go back and eat those at the table.

93. Cook often for people. They usually assume that you ate some in the kitchen while you were making it.

94. When you cook, just the act of seeing so much food and smelling it is often enough to fill you up.

95.  Remember that if you eat too much you’ll become fat. They don’t make cute clothes for fat people.

96. When sitting, maintain good posture. It burns more calories.

97. Black pepper makes your heart rate go up in case they think your blood pressure is too low. Be careful about the difference between sitting BP and standing BP though.

98. Get yourself a pair of jeans that are at a size or two smaller than what you are. Make it your goal to get into them. Even if the size that’s smaller than you is in the kids sizes.

99. Improper diet often leads to insomnia. Take up a hobby for when you’re unable to sleep, or when you’re craving.

100. Better yet, get sleeping pills.

"I'm worried that if I take a break, I'll end up quitting!"

So let me reassure you here - there is no such thing as quitting fitness. You can stop following a specific exercise routine or relax your food restrictions, but you can't quit your health. It doesn't work like that.

If you're worried that skipping your workout today will lead you down the path of never working out again, let's unpack some of that anxiety:

Do you dislike your exercise routine? Are you doing something that you find uncomfortable, boring, stressful or a chore? Then perhaps it's time to find a new endeavor! Moving your body should be fun! Consider trading in some of that running for dancing, solo weightlifting for team practice, or treadmill time for outdoor hiking. Find something that you can look forward to, so that working out is less about maintaining a schedule and more about doing one of your favorite things.

Do you feel naturally "lazy," like you get pulled into your phone or bed and then have a hard time getting up to move? Think about what you're getting from these quieter activities: Relaxation? Socialization? Escapism? Identifying why you tend to default to "wasting time" can help you figure out how to acquire the same satisfaction from exercise.

Do you have a specific goal that must be hit within a restricted timetable? And you're worried about backtracking and failing to get there in time? Examine your exercise schedule and trust the process. Any planned routine worth its salt will account for the fact that the average person will miss days here or there: the individual workout isn't what's important, and won't impact your overall habits and progress.

Do you feel anxious, upset or depressed when you miss a workout? Do you rely on exercise/dieting as a stress relief, and feel overwhelmed without it? Having only one coping skill can potentially set you up for failure in the future. Examine your daily routine and consider what other coping methods you could implement in order to make your feelings and health more manageable overall. It's worthwhile to always have a contingency plan in case your preferred stress relief is unavailable, and it can lighten your mental load so that you don't have to rely fully on one activity.

It's okay to step back from exercising. It's okay to take time off. When you're ready, you can always start up again.

Once you’ve looked over all those cool links, I have some general advice for you on how you can have some sort of support system going for you:

Reasons to move out of home

You may decide to leave home for many different reasons, including:

wishing to live independently

location difficulties – for example, the need to move closer to university

conflict with your parents

being asked to leave by your parents.

Issues to consider when moving out of home

It’s common to be a little unsure when you make a decision like leaving home. You may choose to move, but find that you face problems you didn’t anticipate, such as:

Unreadiness – you may find you are not quite ready to handle all the responsibilities.

Money worries – bills including rent, utilities like gas and electricity and the cost of groceries may catch you by surprise, especially if you are used to your parents providing for everything. Debt may become an issue.

Flatmate problems – issues such as paying bills on time, sharing housework equally, friends who never pay board, but stay anyway, and lifestyle incompatibilities (such as a non-drug-user flatting with a drug user) may result in hostilities and arguments.

Your parents may be worried

Think about how your parents may be feeling and talk with them if they are worried about you. Most parents want their children to be happy and independent, but they might be concerned about a lot of different things. For example:

They may worry that you are not ready.

They may be sad because they will miss you.

They may think you shouldn’t leave home until you are married or have bought a house.

They may be concerned about the people you have chosen to live with.

Reassure your parents that you will keep in touch and visit regularly. Try to leave on a positive note. Hopefully, they are happy about your plans and support your decision.

Tips for a successful move

Tips include:

Don’t make a rash decision – consider the situation carefully. Are you ready to live independently? Do you make enough money to support yourself? Are you moving out for the right reasons?

Draw up a realistic budget – don’t forget to include ‘hidden’ expenses such as the property’s security deposit or bond (usually four weeks’ rent), connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Communicate – avoid misunderstandings, hostilities and arguments by talking openly and respectfully about your concerns with flatmates and parents. Make sure you’re open to their point of view too – getting along is a two-way street.

Keep in touch – talk to your parents about regular home visits: for example, having Sunday night dinner together every week.

Work out acceptable behaviour – if your parents don’t like your flatmate(s), find out why. It is usually the behaviour rather than the person that causes offence (for example, swearing or smoking). Out of respect for your parents, ask your flatmate(s) to be on their best behaviour when your parents visit and do the same for them.

Ask for help – if things are becoming difficult, don’t be too proud to ask your parents for help. They have a lot of life experience.

If your family home does not provide support

Not everyone who leaves home can return home or ask their parents for help in times of trouble. If you have been thrown out of home or left home to escape abuse or conflict, you may be too young or unprepared to cope.

If you are a fostered child, you will have to leave the state-care system when you turn 18, but you may not be ready to make the sudden transition to independence.

If you need support, help is available from a range of community and government organisations. Assistance includes emergency accommodation and food vouchers. If you can’t call your parents or foster parents, call one of the associations below for information, advice and assistance.

Where to get help

Relationships Australia Tel. 1300 364 277

Centrelink Crisis or Special Help Tel. 13 28 50

Tenants Union of Victoria Tel. (03) 9416 2577

Things to remember

Try to solve any problems before you leave home. Don’t leave because of a fight or other family difficulty if you can possibly avoid it.

Draw up a realistic budget that includes ‘hidden’ expenses, such as bond, connection fees for utilities, and home and contents insurance.

Remember that you can get help from a range of community and government organizations.

I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:

—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.

—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.

—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money

—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them

—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa

—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them

—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in

im gonna be real here - making the TKC movies and PJO show(s) live action is a huge mistake on Netflix/Disney’s part.

Like, we get it, you want this adaptation to be the next Harry Potter or Stranger Things or whatever, but after such horrible live-action PJO movies the fans are inherently inclined to hate live-action adaptations, plus it just has completely the wrong tones for the universe. There’s too much CGI they’re going to have to do for powers and creatures and everything that unless they’ve really got this and probably use a lot of practical effects, it’s going to look weird and probably outdated within a couple years.

And unless they have a really tight filming schedule, or they don’t use younger actors (which is probably going to piss off the fanbase, because the characters being young teens is kind of a major point of the series), then the actors are going to age too much between sections and it’s not going to be easy to find other actors to play the same characters. With animation if their voices change too much you can get voice doubles or just re-record stuff! It’d make everyone’s lives so much easier and also just in general the production would probably be cheaper and age better.

“But then it won’t appeal to as wide of an audience-” It’s a book series aimed at MIDDLE SCHOOLERS! You’re not going to get a wide adult audience unless they’re watching it for nostalgia! It’s just an inherent part of the series! Your audience is middle schoolers and high schoolers and yes they’ll watch animation how do you think Cartoon Network has survived this long. Plus if you try to “age it up” too much you’ll loose too much of that middle school audience that makes up the majority of your demographic here AND the older fans will be pissed off again.

@ Disney, @netflix @ Rick: Just. Animate it. Just animate it. Animate both.
