ways to hide weightloss + your eating disorder from others

a thread

hiding restricting:
- throw away food,
you can make meals and throw them out so that the dish gets dirty + the food is used. the food must be used up bc if you claim to be eating a grilled cheese for lunch everyday and there is a full block of cheese thats hilariously suspicious

if you throw it into your trash can be sure to put stuff on top of it. globs of food just exposed at the surface is a way to get caught
hiding food can also be done via napkins, sleeves, jackets, pockets, hats, hair, nails, bra and even pants if you are desperate

spitting food into a napkin whilst pretending to wipe your face. (only do this if nobody looks at you, or you know you can successfully do it without getting caught.

dropping food onto a napkin on your lap

feed it to your pet. (only if its safe for the animal).

if your pet is loud whilst eating/the one above wont work. pretend that they got hold of it/you "accidentally" let them eat it

"accidentally" drop it on the floor

be careful with the last 2. u might get served a new piece of whatever you dropped. claim your full anyway, dont like what you dropped too much and dont want anymore after if this happens.

dont wear clothing that fit you perfectly at one point. only wear loose clothing if its new.
example:
you were a size 3. now you are a 0. dont wear the baggy jeans if others have seen you in them. Because they will notice the huge difference.

wear well fitting clothing.
only wear baggy clothing if nobody has seen you wear the article before

wear layers of clothing. makes you less cold + can make you look like you havent lost much especially if you have to wear clothing from before.

tldr: wear baggy clothing but not old clothing that is now too large.
if you cant do that. wear well fitted clothing

dont go flaunting bones. we all have the ed brain that really wants to do this. but ita important not to. if people around you dont give a fuck like with my case. go for it.

most likely you have people around you who will be concerned. avoid showing collarbones, ribs, etc

this one isnt as obvious but really important. DONT LET PEOPLE HUG YOU. you dont want them feeling how much fat you have lost/bones

if you think someone will want to hug you, try hugging them first but back hug them.

dont change in front of others/dont let people see you naked or in revealing clothing

common sense as to why
change in private. locker rooms = bathroom stall
at home = place with a lock

if you get weighed:
drink water (not too much you could die from too much)

heavy clothing, layers, chunky shoes, rocks, jackets, etc

explaining weightloss:

depression really ruined my appetite
been busy not had time to prepare food
stressed due to xyz
broke/not a lot of money
been sick

pretend to not really understand eating disorders.

along with that. dont go off about calories, nutrition, dieting, fitness, etc
pretend to be pretty ignorant about anything nutrition related

go vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian
this works better if you live in certain countries. In the US it works but not as much as it used to due to all the vegan junk food/alternatives. if ur family buys these just say they are expensive dont waste the money, you dont like them, etc

excuses if you really hate the idea of wasting food:

going to a friends house
not hungry
already ate
i ate at x's house (goto someones house, dont eat, then lie. could also go on a walk or something and pretend u went somewhere and try this one)
i feel sick
vegan, vegetarian

more suggestions if u hate wasting food

give it to someone else. at school, a friend. at home a pet or maybe a sibling.

don't keep physical journals or anything
having a physical diary/intake book is stupid unless you know nobody will snoop. if u have to hide the book at all that means its stupid. use notesapp and a kcal counter app
