-
Wear baggy clothing and lots of layers. This will hide
weight loss and help keep you warm.
-
Pack a a bag lunch to bring school, and make sure people
see you make it. Then, when you get to school, throw it out or give
it to someone else.
-
Hide diet pills in your piggy bank. I did this for months
and no one ever knew. Rotate where you hide them, too, just in case
any gets suspicious.
-
If you keep an ana or food journal, carry it with you
at all times. Never leave it lying around for other people to find.
-
Another journal tip: don't write in your language, or
don't use the regular alphabet. I like the
Phoenician
alphabet myself, and
Elvish
looks really cool. The
Omniglot
site has tons of alphabets you can use.
-
Purge in the shower, or turn on loud music to cover
up the sound.
-
Clear your internet history after viewing pro-ana sites.
Tools > Internet Options > Clear History.
-
The Opaque Cup Trick (spitting out food into an opaque
cup instead of eating it) is very risky and should only be
done in emergencies. Better to spit it out into a napkin; that way,
if caught, you can say you bit into something gross.
-
Putting band-aids over your knuckles when purging will
help prevent scarring, which is a major indicator of an eating disorder.
-
If you know that you're going to purge (with laxatives
or through vomiting), complain loudly that you feel sick. Make
a big show if it. That way, if someone catches you, they won't be suspicious.
Obviously this won't work if you do it constantly, though.
-
Using a nail-growth nailpolish (such as Nailtiques)
will keep your nails from becoming brittle, which is an indication of
malnutrition.
-
This may seem obvious, but it's difficult: don't constantly
talk about food and/or your body. First off, people don't like it. Secondly,
obsession and preoccupation with food and your body is sure to tip someone
off that you have a problem.
-
Leave dirty dishes and food wrappers lying around the
house; that way, people will think you've been eating. Do this enough
and you may even be able to use it as an excuse to skip meals.
