Being in a relationship while practicing this life style might be hard. I personally am with someone and hiding this (as almost no one understands this way of living) from my partner is difficult. I don't like hiding it from Aaron, but I know I have to for the sake of our relationship. As in most relationships, it's important to have your own life and then parts of you that mingle with your partner's. This is an area in your life that you can say is your own and not a part that you share. Keeping a certain amount of independance is needed, so try to stay strong and remember that this is your thing and not everyone needs to know or understand it. If your partner begins to notice, think quickly, also think of a way of explaining it every morning.
This is a difficult one. Every morning as you are going through your thinsperation or getting dressed etc, think of a reason for everything. If someone asks you why you're not eating today, you dont' want to have to think about it, you want to give a responce promptly other wise they might question. If someone notices that you've lost weight, you need to know an excuse right away. Some classics are: I'm not hungry, I'm a little stressed lately with work/school, I already ate (This is important, make SURE you have 'evidence' of already eating. If you have a car or school bag or anything, keep a wraper or something in it so that if someone doesn't believe you, you can show them. Go to a fast food resturant and buy the food, throw it out, and keep the bag in your car or something. If you go over to a friend's and they offer you food, tell them you already ate and make something up.)
It doesn't matter what you come up with as long as it makes sense. Never, EVER be unprepared for these questions. As you get better with Ana, more people will question and you must be prepared at all times.
