Preventing a Binge
Always plan your meals the night before.
Examine your feelings. What triggered the urge to binge? How can you eliminate/prevent this next time?
Go look in the mirror. Strip down or lift up your shift. Look at that fat you're trying to lose. Tell yourself you are NOT hungry.
Think of how awful you feel about yourself now. How much worse are you going to feel after your binge? You'll be filled with regret, disgust, and self-hatred.
Drink tons of water and herbal tea.
Use hunger as an alarm or reminder to do something else. When I feel hungry, it reminds me to go drink another cup of tea. You could use this as a reminder to do anything: go read, walk around the block, do an exercise.
Look up thinspo and pro-ana material to remind yourself of your goals and why you started.
Think of your stomach growling as applause from your body or the sound of your stomach eating away fat.
Remember that cravings pass within minutes. Don't spend a day in regret for one minute of flavor.
Step on the scale and ask yourself if you want the number to go up even higher.
Anas are strong and in control! Never lose sight of your goals.

Fasting
I'm here to tell you why I think fasting is more likely to set you up for failure and make you fat in the long run.
Metabolism- Eating regularly keeps it working hard and strong; meaning that it processes food through your body faster instead of trying to hold on to it. When you starve yourself, your metabolism slows down and tells your body that the next time it gets any food, it's gotta be extra stingy and store as much fat as it can. Your body thinks it's emergency time, that hungry times lie ahead and it's gotta prepare. You have to eat eventually, right? You need it to live and avoid the hospital. So keep your metabolism active for proper digestion otherwise that next inevitable meal is gonna be packing on more pounds than necessary.
Warning: Binge Risk! When you deprive yourself for days, your body and mind both go into a panicked state. You stop thinking clearly. You're probably going to get more emotional and cranky. These things all set you up to binge. Binging is obviously not something you want. Think of how far you've come and how disgusting you'll feel when you're finished stuffing your face and realize what you've done. Keep your body stable. Stay smart. Eat small amounts several times a day to prevent a breakdown.
