'Tips and Tricks'

We've all seen them
The list of Pro-ana tips and tricks
Endless lists of ways to help you to lose weight
I come across them every now and then
And some of them are bordering on ridiculous
And comical
So I compiled a list of the ones that made me chuckle
All of the following were found on the internet
God help these people
To reiterate, I do not condone the following 'Tips and Tricks'. They are just to show the amount of silly information that is floating around the internet.
Sucking on ice will give your mouth something to keep busy with.. It will even help your body get water with out drinking straight fluids.
Stay away from laxatives. Remember we do not support any habits of mia. We do however, fully support ana so if you are mia and no longer want to be, then this will be a good way to go completely ana and regain control. Any type of purging can become an addiction in a short amount of time. An uncontrollable addiction.
Try to avoid food a least a few hours before your bed time. It is better to feel hungry when you go to bed, rather than full. If you are full, chances are you won't lose weight the following day.
Everyone has someone that they dislike and want to be better than, for whatever reason. Maybe they made fun of you or stole your boyfriends. Look at their picture and tell yourself that you can be better than them. And you will be once you have reached your goal.
Drink one glass of water every hour to make yourself feel full.
Drink ice water, your body will take a lot more calories bringing it to body temperature.
Do aerobics until you feel you are going to faint.
Take cold showers, your body will burn calories to heat you back up.
Brush your teeth constantly, so you won't be tempted to eat afterwards.
Clean something gross, like the toilet, litter box, boyfriend's closet, when you want to eat. You will not want to eat after this.
Get a job so you will have to work through meal times.
Keep your hair in good condition so no one will suspect anything.
Say you are going to a friends and instead go for a walk. You will lose calories instead of taking them in.
Buy clothes that you can't fit in to and hang them where you can see them. This will motivate you to lose weight and fit in to them.
If you start to feel hungry, punch yourself in the stomach. You will not feel hungry any more.
Make yourself a snack but instead of eating it, throw it away. This will prove you can refuse food and make you feel powerful.
Join a pro-ana group or start your own website. This will keep you motivated.
Eat in front of a mirror naked. See how much you can eat then.
Smoke cigarettes instead of eating.
When you get hunger pangs, curl up in to a ball, it will make them go away.
Weigh yourself before and after eating. Not only will this eliminate unnecessary eating, but it will make you want to eat less when you see then numbers creep up.
Instead of food, buy yourself flowers. Food is depressing but flowers make you happy.
Follow 'The Thin Commandments'
Put an elastic band around your wrist and snap it every time you feel hungry.
Eat babyfood!
Try horse pills - Klenbuterol- to increase muscle mass.
Try amphetamines -  drugs like speed will curb your appetite nicely.

Try ephedra to curb your appetite.
