bulimia/anorexia

I know these are bad ways of losing unwanted fat but they seem to be the only choice when you want to keep yourself content foodwise. Does anyone have any motivators while keeping the calories low?
 
Not dying early of a heart attack is a pretty good motivator for me. : ) I've been border line bulimic in the past, and let me tell you, it's not fun, it's not glamorous, it's not sexy and it doesnt make you lose weight. If you decide you have to have a hamburger, do it! (Don't do it all the time, but once in awhile won't kill you). Don't throw it up. And if you're worried about feeling bad afterwards, take the gusto to tell yourself NO! I DON'T NEED A HAMBURGER! in the first place! All eating disorders do is make you obsessed with something unhealthy that will eventually kill you. It's not worth it.
Even if you can't stop the junk food, just remember: smaller portions. Even that will make a big difference. But if you can, cut back on calories (sugar is the silent cuplrit that will make you fat!) and be more active.
Even if it takes awhile to lose the weight, at least you'll be alive and healthy to enjoy your new body.
Good luck.
 
Eating disorders are mainly psychological - you just can't say "I need to lose fat, I'm going to become anorexic." It doesn't work that way.
If you are serious about your training, use that as your motivation for eating right to lose fat.

To lose fat, you don't and can't starve yourself. Doing so will put your body into 'starvation mode' which means your body will hold on to everything it can (fat) as a response mechanism. You have to eat more, healthy, full-of-protein meals to lose fat. And eat clean - just stay away from processed foods. These little changes will do you a world of good.
 
Not wanting the enamel on your teeth to wear off and then your teeth falling out of your mouth due to the acid your throwing up...that's a biggie.
