Hints from Ana

Hi again everyone!!! Just thought I'd give some of my new friends hints on how to keep healthy. (See, I''m not a horrible person!)

When you throw up, don't use your finger. Especially if you have long nails. You will end up tearing into the back of your throat and ruining your nails as well. Use something like a toothbrush instead. And of course, make sure that it has a nice rounded end instead of the squared off kind, seeing as the corners will cut your throat.

After you have thrown up, DON'T  brush your teeth. Now I know that the taste in your mouth is not a pleasant one, but trust me on this one. Brushing your teeth grounds all the acids into your teeth and causes them to break down and decay. Instead drink lots of water to rinse the acid off and if the flavor is too much, try chewing gum or having a few mints. (make sure that they are sugar free)

Sugar free gum is also a great way to alleviate those hunger pains. Chewing tricks your mind into thinking that you are eating and  as long as it is sugar free, at most you are only consuming about 5 calories
