Bingeing and Purging Tips + Tricks

For the Mia's on here, I thought I'd put together some tips and tricks you can try. Some tips are good, some are bad. Be careful and whatever you do, I just want to tell you to stay away from flushing, I've seen it going around on tumblr in the late and it's become increasingly popular. Flushing is when you drink fluids on an empty stomach, (usually water) and purge repeatedly just in search for a 'clean feeling'. Be safe and DO NOT do this. I like this clean feeling too, but it's very dangerous. This can lead to a weakening of the heart and can cause potassium levels to reach extremely low levels causing heart attacks and even heart failure. Remember to stay hydrated and use your judgement. Do what's best for you. Trust me, you won't be thinking of how skinny you are when you're dying a slow painful death. You and all your efforts and achievements will be gone! Be safe!

So to start off I'll be talking about bingeing first. There are good things to binge on and bad things to binge on. Since during a binge you tend to eat fast and not always chew well, certain foods can be a bitch to get up, but if you are an attentive binger, anything chewed until it dissolves is fine. But this is hard to do. So be careful. I'll start with a list of good and bad.

 Good things to binge on:

Pudding, or Jello
Oatmeal, porridge
Ice cream or Froyo
Yogurt
Cereal w/ milk or soy/almondmilk
Pasta (if cooked till soft, otherwise it clumps up)
Scrambled eggs or boiled eggs
Rice if over cooked a little
Cottage cheese
Soft-baked cookies
Cupcakes (Prepackaged only; they're softer.)
Brownie or cake batter
Cream or jelly filled pastries
Oreos with milk
Creamy Mac n Cheese

Bad things to binge on: 

Chips (potato, pitas, Doritos)
Crackers
Hard cookies
Gooey cakes like muffins, or cupcakes from a mix, as well as brownies
Cereal with sharp edges such as mini wheats or krave (if they even still make that, I just remember getting jabbed in the mouth as a little kid.)
Coffee, OJ, Grapefruit juice, or anything acidic (tastes nasty and burns, it can also damage the esophagus even more!)
Hot foods, such as chicken wings or curries or hot cheetos
Crunchy vegetables, fruits, or
Nuts, fresh or dried
(crunchy=scratchy)
Anything red!! (You can't tell if there is blood in your vomit)
Thin crust pizza
Melted cheese
 Hard breads or baguettes
Chocolate
Wraps or tortillas

I actually have a couple tricks to make bad binge foods into good binge foods, for hard cookies or gooey cakes, pop them in the microwave for a couple seconds, this makes them soft so they aren't a bitch to get up. And for pizza, try brands such as digornio or freshcetta, as their crusts are thicker and quite doughy. I tend to prefer thin crust so to make it softer and not as sharp, put it on a baking sheet instead of directly on the rack. This will help it stay soft and even a little soggy, but equally as good! And it's not as hard to get it all out. For chips, dipping them in onion soup mix dip (sour cream+onion soup mix it's cheap and simple).  Is a good way to soften them up. As long as you drink a ton of water or diet soda you should be fine. Things tend to soften in the stomach if they're in fluids.

Pro-Mia Bingeing and purging Tips + Tricks
Just a little something I put together to help you binge more productively. Some I've tried and are my own, some I've borrowed from other blogs.

1. Try safe foods first then move on to the crap. That way if it's absorbed it'll be the low cal stuff.

2. Try a marker. Eat something brightly colored and preferably very thick. (first)  Whatever's densest will come up last. And the bright color will help you know it's all out. Markers aren't always effective so be careful and make sure your marker is low cal.

3. Try not to eat too slowly or quick. If you eat slowly, some of it may be absorbed, if you eat too quick, you'll swallow it in chunks and chunks are difficult to get up.

4. Drink lots of water. Drink water in between switching foods and in between bites. You eat less and this way binges are less expensive!

5. Purging in the shower is much more effective. Tell whoever's in your home that you're going to take a shower or bath and purge in there. Even better, turn on your bathroom fan or radio. That way they won't hear you purging. (If you've never purged before, it's a lot louder than you'd think.)

6. Purge in your room if you can't use the shower. Be sure to turn on your stereo or put the tv on. Keep a small garbage bucket and grocery bags in your room. To lessen the sound, put the bag in the bucket and put a few squares of toilet paper in the bag.

7. If you can't get a hold of regular laxatives, buy Epsom salt, or mineral oil. Just be careful with the mineral oil, because unless you want it to look like there was an oil spill in your toilet, don't take too much. Slowly increase your dose. And be sure to flush twice as sometimes it can leave an oily sheen on the surface of the water Which can raise suspicion at home.

8. If you go to school or purge in public, try to wait till the coast is clear. If people won't leave, try to flush every time you puke. If people ask, say you are sick, or ate/drank too much. Or if you have a really good friend, ask if they can guard the bathroom for you to tell you if someone is coming.

9. To avoid suspicion of the other people at home, wait 15-20 minutes before going to the bathroom. Don't run to the bathroom after every single meal.

10. Try to take laxatives in ratios of 2,4,6,8 every 2 binges. Then fast one day and take no laxatives and then restart the cycle. You're basically tricking your body. Take it from me. You don't want to become laxative dependent. I have to take about 7 laxatives just to get the effect that a normal dosage would have on a non laxative dependent person.

11. Use a marker when using laxatives as well. After your binge, swallow something whole that'll pass through your system undigested, such as peanuts or pieces of cooked corn. Do not use corn kernels ( I learned the hard way). Credit: proana-anne.blogspot.com

12. You also want to avoid spicy foods when using laxatives. It burns just the same.

13. Chug two cans of diet coke, the bubbles help get everything up and it'll make you nauseous. Works well!

14. Try to push on your stomach as you stimulate your gag reflex. This really helps get everything up.

15. Since markers aren't always effective, weigh yourself before your binge, after your binge and then again once you've purged, try to get down to your normal weight. (Or even less!) this is a popular pro ana pro mia tip.

16. Using the bristled side of the toothbrush is more effective for some. If you can't seem to stimulate your gag reflex with your fingers, then do this.

17. Eat a spoonful of ice cream before purging, as this will help coat the throat and help everything come up easier.

18. Drink a tablespoon of mustard mixed with warm water. And then jump up and down, this'll make you puke in no time! Just keep a garbage nearby.

19. Drink fortified water after purging. Stay away from diet soda or tea after purging, these will dehydrate you. Stay clear of distilled water. As all the electrolytes and minerals have been removed.

20. Mix a tablespoon of salt in with water and drink quickly to induce vomiting. Just don't drink too much or this method could potentially fatal.

21. Run or spin in circles until you get dizzy, this will make you very nauseous.

22. Look at repulsing pictures of foods you don't like, or foods that just look nasty, or people vomiting while you purge, this'll make you sick. You can even try washing the dishes or scooping the cat box, or another activity that nauseates you.

23. Eat bread that's been soaked in water, the food will come up in no time. The repulsive texture will make you gag.

24. Whatever you do, Stay away from ipecac syrup. Its extremely dangerous, and can even be poisonous. It'll make you vomit, but it can also permanently damage the heart. So I'd stay away from it.

25. Eat to the point of fullness, it's harder to purge small amounts of food.
