(Okay, first of all, sorry this is a manuscript haha)

I absolutely suggest doing yoga in the morning. My inner fatass pretty much rolls out of bed already thinking about all the shit it wants to stuff in my face, so I started making a habit of drinking warm lemon water and doing my yoga first thing in the morning. It really helped curb my bullshit breakfast binges. When I get out of bed in the morning to pee, I immediately change into my yoga pants and boil some water. I don't know if the whole warm lemon water trend is factually "so good" for you or if it's just lemon and water, but I like it either way. You're dehydrated when you wake up so drinking a glass of water is probably something everybody should do first thing in the morning anyway. The temperature and the lemon settle my stomach and wake me up without any caffeine. I don't like to drink caffeine/coffee before yoga because I already have a hard enough time shutting up my brain on the mat. If you're into it, sometimes I smoke a little weed before the gentler videos because it helps me stay focused and makes the stretching feel otherworldly good. 😈

The videos in the first 30 days are anywhere between 12-35 minutes long. I remember being really impressed with how thoughtful the flow of the first month is. There are hard days and easy days, then poses that felt impossible will pop up again and you'll surprise yourself. Everyone should definitely start with the first program, IMO. The videos in the second 30 day program are a little longer (up to 40ish minutes maybe), but only because most of them are slower paced to incorporate more breath training and also positive affirmation type things which I actually really liked. I've seen some people be critical of the second month being too slow (even I was a little skeptical at first), but just stick with it. I promise it's worth it. I think it really builds on the foundation of the first one. This is when I started seeing even bigger changes in my strength and flexibility. I recorded myself doing crow pose one day because I was so shocked how long I could hold it. The first time I tried crow was during the first series and my arms were so weak I literally face planted into my hardwood. I can almost do the splits now which is insane because I've never been athletic by any standards.

Being busty and, you know, just trying to disappear in life in general, I've always been a sloucher with horrible posture. Yoga has been helping with that too. Sitting up straight makes me feel taller and skinnier and more elegant and perfect. This is a tangent, but Adriene, the instructor, made me realize that sitting up straight is just as much about your shoulders (pulling them away from your ears) as it is about supporting yourself with your lower back. Opening up in the shoulders and building my core with balancing poses and ab work made me feel so much lighter on my feet and my stomach looks flatter because I'm actually standing correctly and I don't look like a slob. Also, the endorphins I get from yoga and the controlled breathing always make me even more satisfied by restricting and more motivated to get other shit done.

For people with anxiety, PTSD, or panic disorders, I could not recommend yoga more. I read an article that explained that it helps because you retrain your body's stress response by putting yourself in strenuous, sometimes awkward positions but retaining a controlled and steady breath. (Not the article I read because I can't find it, but a Harvard article quoting a similar study and various others.) Having more control over my breathing helps me manage my panic attacks a lot better. I've had them regularly for the past six years, but I've only had one in the last three months.

As far as if a beginner can do it, absolutely. I hadn't been working out at all before I started this and I had only done yoga maybe three times over the course of my entire life. Adriene is good about showing different levels within the poses to suit all levels of flexibility. One warning I would give to someone just starting is that you'll want to take care with your wrists. I'd read some complaints of wrist pain before I started so I was careful with things like planks and side planks and even downward dog at the beginning because I knew my arms were weak as fuck. To take pressure off of your wrists when you're in those types of positions, be sure to turn your inner elbows out so that they're in line with your wrists. But Adriene explains that too so don't worry.

Here is the mat I have. I looked around a lot before landing on this. It works good on hardwood and it rolls up easily to put it away. It comes in lots of patterns to choose from and it's not too expensive. What's not to like?
Here's the YouTube playlist for the first 30 days.
Here is a cute calendar she provides. I printed it and hung it in my kitchen so that I would always feel guilty if I was thinking about eating something or making coffee without checking it off. It worked really well.

I feel like I should say that I don't work for Yoga with Adriene at all haha. She does have a subscription thing or something but I don't have it. All of these and her other videos I've tried are free on YouTube. Sorry this was so long, holy Moses! I'm using this to distract myself from eating so thank you!! ;p

Very low calorie foods:

  • artificial sweeteners

  • Crunchmaster multigrain crackers (roughly 8 calories each)

  • freeze dried fruit (this is higher in calories than I'd like, but I'm including it because it can be an easier alternative to fresh or dried fruit)

  • Coco Lite. My local grocery store (Marianos) has these but I also found an asian version of this same kind of formula at my local Korean grocery store. Was way cheaper and tasted better.

  • Canned foods if you can deal with a little mess from them. Tuna, chicken, fruits, veggies, beans.

  • Mio water enhancers

  • Skinny cow brand candies (they make a variety of low cal chocolate options)

  • Pocky – shockingly few calories for what they are. And they are super easy to portion out. Plus there's like a million flavors out there.

  • Bran cereal/other 'healthy' cereals

  • Laughing cow cheeses. These are usually in the refridgerated section of the store, but they don't actually need to be kept cold.

  • fiber powder. I get the unflavored kind, but you could get one that's flavored and mix up a high-fiber drink with it.

  • Rice cakes – tons of flavors and usually pretty decent calorie count

  • Sugar free pudding mix. I've sprinkled this on stuff dry before for a weird/nice texture.

  • If you have an Aldi by you, they have a good range of products in their Fit & Active brand. I really like their 90cal Smores snack bags. They're like tiny rice cakes with chocolate and marshmallow drizzled on them.

Hey! First, the purging thing. I highly recommend getting this book! Set aside a day, read it while you're going through all your belongings, and follow her suggestions. It's SO helpful and makes the entire process streamlined and easy.

Looking for an apartment can be overwhelming, but I know you can do it :) I've had 3 different apartments in the past 4 years, and the whole process was really foreign to me at first too. I can PM you some tips and things to look out for so I don't clog up this thread haha.

As far as making friends go, I'm still struggling with that. I was lucky that my best friend decided to move with me (1000 miles from our hometown!), but I've tried to make some new friends too. I mostly "hang out" with coworkers because I don't know how to meet people either. You could try signing up for things and meeting people there? Sign up for a gym and take a free class there, or maybe try one of those Paint Nites where you drink and paint! Usually by the end people are looking at each other's paintings and chatting and having a nice time :) I hope this helps a little!

u/Sidehothrowaway · 7 pointsr/proED

Sounds like a very powerful project, ED or not! The reasoning behind it would be very interesting to a lot of people. So many people fast for so many reasons. I've researched fasting and its health benefits for years (not ED related) and it's a great subject. Please drop am update here when you finish it!!

I'm not trying to give any unsolicited advice, but here are a few things that really help a lot of people (fasting for health, not ED) and myself get through extended fasts:

  • Go low carb for at least 3-5 days before you start. Less than 10-15 g a day. You'll put your body into ketosis while still being able to eat. That way once you start the fast you'll already be in ketosis and won't have to make that such fasted (which is hard).

  • electrolytes electrolytes electrolytes! Magnesium, sodium, potassium. Very important. Most people feel gross on a fast because they don't have electrolytes. Even very thin people still have plenty of stored fat and protein calories so it's not an energy issue. Your body flushes a lot of its electrolytes while fasted so you need to replace them. For magnesium I use this and love it: Natural Calm. It also has done calcium and potassium and its fizzy. For potassium I use 1/4tsp twice a day of Morton's No-Salt. It has 680mg per quarter teaspoon which is more than you can get from most supplements. For sodium sea salt is best. Even better if you use Celtic get or pink salt. A pinch or two under your tongue several times a day is great for an energy boost. Every time you have a fill quart of water, take a quarter teaspoon of salt. It makes a massive difference.

  • Water. You'll need more than usual, but don't overdo it. If you're peeing too much you're drinking too much and/or need more salt.

  • Sleep! Get your sleep! Take naps! If you're too tired this will be much harder.

  • Don't work out much. Walking, swimming, yoga is ok, but intense stuff is going to be brutal.

    I hope this helps. The electrolyte thing is especially important. I've tried fasting with and without them and fasting with them is a million times easier and I feel so so so much better. Without them I couldn't get past 5 days and passed out. Not even kidding.

    Good luck! Sounds likea great project!

    Edit: too many autocorrect typos to fix now on mobile on a small screen. Sorry.

Bang is by far my favorite energy drink now. They do have 300 mg of caffeine, which I like. I think they taste far better than Monster or Rock Star. My favorite flavors are Blue Razz, Sour Heads, and the Citrus Flavor (which tastes like orange soda). The Pina Colada one is pretty good too. I really like them as a pre-workout because they have a good amount of caffeine but no jitters or itchiness like with many pre-workouts. I really like the sample pack with all different flavors. I get it on Amazon and its pretty reasonable for a 12 pack of them. This is where I order from on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2ra9woz Its almost like having a soda, I don't drink any other energy drink now. Would really recommend that you try them if you haven't already!

u/puzzledbutton · 3 pointsr/proED

I have a fasting friendly magnesium supplement I found on amazon! It doesn’t taste great (I usually just mixed a teaspoon with water and chug), a little chalky and doesn’t mix with cold beverages really well, but it helps a ton with sleeping (relaxes muscles) and I’ve heard it helps a lot with muscle cramps. I have a friend who gets cramps in his legs due to an auto-immune disorder, he takes 1/4 teaspoon in the morning to help with it. I definitely suggest it!

It’s a huge bag so it’ll last forever. I like this because melatonin makes me feel groggy the next morning :)

u/Profeshed · 1 pointr/proED

Yes and THIS ONE is my FAVORITE 🌺💕💕💕

https://www.amazon.com/American-Weigh-AWS-100-Digital-Resolution/dp/B0012LOQUQ

It’s tiny, extremely accurate, and tares back to zero super quickly (unlike almost every other scale I’ve tried).

And the best part is that it’s only $10 :)

u/KleinKonijn · 7 pointsr/proED

I don't have much information on osteoporosis because frankly, it concerns me and I habitually avoid things that give me anxiety, but this is the calcium supplement I take.

It has vitamin D too of course, but the real value is that it has 1200 mg of calcium, which is the recommended dose for at risk individuals like myself. And my primary care physician recommended this to me specifically because it has better absorption rates. Calcium is notorious for being difficult for the body to absorb. So this helps.

Also, pro tip. Taking big horse pills like this is way, way, way easier when swallowed whole with food. I get around my gag reflex easily like that. I can't swallow pills well with liquids. But my brain accepts supplements like this just fine if I pop it in my mouth with a mouthful of food already chewed up. And even on my more restrictive days when I only eat yoghurt, I can swallow pills just fine with my yoghurt. Again, mouthful of yoghurt first and then slip the pill in your mouth, move the pill towards the back of your tongue covered in food and just... swallow. Might sound gross in theory, but it's really easy. And I actually take what I'm supposed to this way.

u/sweettutu64 · 1 pointr/proED

that is adorable oh my goodness!! I got a ten pack from Amazon, and the reason I chose those were because they were microwavable! Plus the portion spots looked small and I was right. Of course you could load them up if you wanted to but I didn't and it still "tricked" my mind like restaurant plates and portions do haha. It looks like more food so it feels like more food. I'll probably post a picture sometime of the meals I've made and their calorie counts! They don't take up a bunch of space and I like that they come with reusable sporks :)

ALL THE TIME.

I go to meetings wearing three cardigans, a jumper, leg warmers, wrist warmers, a scarf and a bobble hat.

Fortunately (bad choice of word), I have a neurological disease that my professors know about. So I'm pretty sure they assume it's due to that.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post an Amazon link (sorry mods! Love you!), but I have a few of these guys:

They are infinitely better than hot water bottles IMO, hold their heat longer and are incredibly soft and fluffy. I love them :) even keep one in the office.

u/bonedust_pale · 1 pointr/proED

Definately reccomend the FitBit Aria. www.amazon.com/Fitbit-Wi-Fi-Smart-Scale-Black/dp/B0077L8YOO I got the black one and it looks slick, plus it checks your body fat % and sends all info to your fitbit account. You get updated charts showing your weight and BMI and body fat % made for you. I also have a FitBit One Activity + Sleep Tracker. www.amazon.com/dp/B0095PZHPE It shows you how long you've slept and when you're restless. Also counts calories burned (don't know how accurate) and steps taken. The floors climber is way off though! It counts every ride in a car as if you're going upstairs, ugh. For a coffee maker I recommend Bodum Brazil 8-Cup French Press Coffee Maker, Makes 34-Ounces if needed, but easy to make 1-2 cups real fast. (They're like $20) I like having to make coffee by hand. I just like little rituals every morning. Keeps me organized and thoughts don't stray.

u/Glitter_Cunt · 4 pointsr/proED

Ohmigosh yes you 100% need a food scale!! This is the one that I have and I really recommend it. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my parents so that I can use it when I visit them lol.

Honestly the hardest part for me about maintaining is eating enough and keep myself from losing more (or gaining weight back when I've accidentally lost too much). Maintaining a very low weight while eating 1000+ a day is completely possible :)

I use this brand! there may be cheaper/better options out there but I didn't want to spend 5 years researching it when I started so I just went with what looked best for the best price :D

u/Twosi · 7 pointsr/proED

I have the Aria by fitbit for my main scale.

My "double check" scale is this one here. Just to make sure.

I also use: This food scale as my in house food scale.

I have this one for my purse.

I also have these at home for use during the day: Fit Desk 2.0 wanting to get the extension desk for it at some point soon.

Elliptical/Bike Trainer in case I would prefer to "run".

Fitbit HR Charge Love this.

For hydration purposes: Electric kettle stainless steel with no plastic parts touching water ever. Love it.

Primo water pump with a two interchangeable 10 gallon jugs for easy no excuse water drinking.

My coffee maker right now is pretty... meh? I want to replace it this year with the ninja coffee bar.

It's amazing!! It folds up for space. Tracks your time, distance, calories and heart. Also it has different levels of intensity.

I wish that worked for me, it's a great idea! Scales are a real game changer though I have this fancy nutrition scale, but still unfamiliar with all those neat features.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/proED

Good call!! I ordered this one but do you have any recommendations??? :)

u/DireRavenstag · 2 pointsr/proED

If you can order online, I have this one, and it's awesome.

If you do any kind of arts and crafts type stuff, you could always say it's for that? (Like....I also use mine to weigh my raw wool for spinning, plus I could see myself using it to measure beads/chainmaille supplies by weight for easier packaging, etc.)

I got this scale a few months ago and it is great. The top can come off for easier cleaning and it seems to still be correctly calibrated. My old one ($30 from target started) giving me wrong readings and I kinda freaked out.
