About a year ago, when I would follow blogs like these everyday, I found a few pointers, that I printed out. Recently I have been going back to see which blog I got these from, but can't seem to remember, or find it, so I will post these up anyway as well.
I printed these notes out to help myself when I'm either going out to eat, or am at the market buying groceries.

PRO ANA - Going to a Restaurant
-Before ordering, ask for a full glass of ice water (with lemon, optional) and consume it. this will make you fuller faster. Also get another glass when the waiter takes your order, and delivers your food.
-Get nutrition information ahead of time if you can. Surf the 'net' and ask about calorie, fat and carb content of their dishes. Then you will know what to order or whether to even bother going there.
-Avoid all breaded or bettered items, fried items, sauteed items, breads, pastas, rices, sweetened drinks, and of course, desserts.
-Get the simplest food in their most natural form available, such as grilled fish and a tossed salad. Lean proteins like shrimp are best. (You don't NEED the cocktail sauce, ignore it!)
-When given the choice, always order lunch portion. NEVER dinner portion.
-Request all sauces and dressgins on the side. That way you retain control over how much you consume. Nearly all calories, fats, and carbs are in restaurant sauce and dressings.
-Eat a tossed or garden salad appetizer; only 20-30 calories and helps fill you up before the food arrives.
-One or two sips of water between bites.
-Set fork down after each bite.
-Chew slowly and thoroughly.

And lastly, here is a clip of another peice I printed, I hanged on my mirror: (thanks to whoever wrote it!!)

So You Wanna Be Thin?
Welcome to the world. Everyone wants to be thin.
Very few actually make it.
But when they do...everyone pays attetnion.
Theres a reason thin people are models.
Thin is what people want to see.
Anything looks good on a thin person.
Any swimsuit, any pair of jeans, any top, any hairstyle.
Thin is beautiful because thin is control. Mind over body.
Thin people know better than anyone that nothing tastes as good as thin feels.
Thin is like floating on air, shrinking. Being in control.
People who are not thin may say they are okay with how they look, but it's a lie.
Because everyone knows... thin is all that matters

Do you want to matter?
Think about it.


Happy Halloween! everyone
(But don't indulge so much!)
