I've been reading a lot of tips on "Thinspiration" sites (I'm not going to become anorexic; don't worry) and I've pulled some tips that seem reliable, logical and helpful. The thing is, I do not want to try them completely if I don't know for sure if they're really going to help or not. Can anyone confirm if these work, or does anyone have any more information that might help me?

Have 6 small meals a day. Take 2 apples, and split them so you can make 6 meals out of them. That way your body will be tricked into thinking it's eating more.

Do not eat in front of the computer or TV. This distracts you from recognizing you're full.

An occasional binge doesn't hurt, in fact it's quite beneficial if you have reached a plateau (stopped losing weight). Your body will think you have stopped starving yourself, and you will drop at least a pound overnight! Just don't binge too regularly!

If you take a pure cold bath for 15-30 min and lower your body temp, your body burns around 200 cals for every degree it has to raise itself to reach a normal body temperture. This person tried it, a 30 min bath lowered their temp about 3-4 degrees.
I usually get...6-10 hours. But I think I'll try all of these, they seem helpful enough. Maybe I'll finally be thin . It'll be a long road, but...I need it. I need to be attractive and thin. I need to be like everyone else!
I know that the 6 small meals a day thing will help because it will keep your metabolism running, just as long as what you're eating is on the healthy side. I'm not really sure about anything else.

Don't just rely on these, start the gym or something, take up a balanced diet and used to getting the bus? Walk, Jog or Cycle and how about some swimming classes? Take up Yoga for your mind too.
I am eating healthier. And exercising. I walked about an hour yesterday, uphill mostly. I think that was 300 calories I burned. Still, nothing seems to be helping me lose weight. I'd prefer lipo but I need to start losing weight now and trying hard before that.
