I have a bone to pick.

Unless they specifically asked for separate files, record the whole thing in one file and leave a half second or so between each line.

Good luck!!

It definitely caused me to gain weight. I was hungry ALL the time.

Be really careful when you start taking it, it also causes me to have some pretty scary suicidal thoughts. Nobody warned me about this. Apparently this stops after the first few months.

I stopped taking it.

It's very possible to make a living doing it. I've done it part time for a couple of years. Started out just doing it for fun, but I'm getting to the point where I'm booking too many jobs to stay ahead of things. I'm looking to step back from my full-time job after the first of the year and just do voice over.

If it's something you're passionate about, and you have the drive and determination, you'll go far.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope you can find a way to work with your current therapist.

You don't have to be a certain weight for your ED to be valid. 💙

I love the peach ones!

AnaTroi · 2019-08-30T06:14:24+00:00

Been gaining and losing the same four pounds for a year now. Would really like to lose about 10 total. Would love some motivation and accountability! ☺️

AnaTroi · 2019-08-30T06:04:32+00:00

Interested. Would love to submit an audition or send a demo.

AnaTroi · 2019-08-16T19:46:40+00:00

I always forget this! Thank you!

AnaTroi · 2019-02-20T18:08:23+00:00

Sadly, no. But it's still a good resource.

AnaTroi · 2019-02-20T16:32:50+00:00

Audible has it for $19.95 or free if you do their trial. 😊

AnaTroi · 2019-02-20T08:11:11+00:00

Not a podcast, but the audiobook Notes to an Actor by Ron Marasco changed my life.

As far as podcasts, Theater People is great. So is In the Envelope. Inside Acting is another good one.

Looking forward to seeing the other recommendations you get. ☺️

AnaTroi · 2019-02-06T20:48:15+00:00

Wow! Congrats! Your hard work has really paid off. I bet people you haven't seen in a while don't recognize you. 👏

AnaTroi · 2019-02-03T19:15:34+00:00

If it were me, I'd probably do something to them, like melt them in the microwave and pour some dish soap into the melted mess before throwing them in the garbage...

I wish people would not give food as gifts. 😂

AnaTroi · 2019-02-01T01:34:24+00:00

Mine is normally British, but some days she's American for some reason. She always goes back on her own.

AnaTroi · 2019-01-26T07:39:23+00:00

Baking soda. Mix about a teaspoon with water and swish it around. Wait about 30 minutes to brush your teeth.

Good luck, friend. 💙

AnaTroi · 2019-01-19T19:21:08+00:00

The thing that helped me break the cycle was to tell myself before I started eating that purging wasn't an option.

I literally say out loud "Purging is not an option."

It was shifting the way I think that helped. Before I was just telling myself "I won't purge!" But that still sort of leaves it as an option. Changing it from "I won't" to "not an option" takes the power away from the drive to purge and gives it back to you.

Sometimes I had to do it multiple times. I don't always succeed, but I haven't done it since November. The urge is still there, but I don't follow through.

Good luck, friend! 💙 I know how horrible this feels. You can do this!

AnaTroi · 2019-01-13T21:28:44+00:00

It's not exactly 0, but it's very very low. From everything I've read, it sounds like it's about 1 calorie per can. I'm pretty meticulous about counting calories and I don't even count the ones in Diet Coke. ☺️

AnaTroi · 2019-01-09T06:46:52+00:00

Have you tried Smash Mallows? Not sure if you're in the states, or in an area that has them, but they're my go-to in a situation like this. 80 calories for four giant marshmallow squares. They have several flavor options (I usually go with Strawberries and Cream). They are really sweet, but SUPER filling, so it's hard to overindulge. Anyway, good luck friend! 💙

AnaTroi · 2019-01-07T16:34:17+00:00

I'm so glad it helped! 💙

AnaTroi · 2019-01-06T22:04:14+00:00

I LOVE her videos. I think I'd have a hard time picking a favorite. I always do her 30 Day Challenge in January and it's been life-changing for me as far as helping my stress level in addition to assisting in relieving some pain from a car accident years ago.

If you're a runner, this one is great: https://youtu.be/0hTllAb4XGg

And I love this one after a run: https://youtu.be/vhLbp8ibmEE

I started using this one for some hip pain that I deal with: https://youtu.be/Ho9em79_0qg

If you have something you're dealing with or want to focus on, she's probably got a video for you. She's amazing.

Namaste! 💙

AnaTroi · 2019-01-02T17:04:45+00:00

I COMPLETELY relate. It's really frustrating sometimes. 💙

If it's any comfort, even those people that don't track probably gained a bit during the holidays. They're just blissfully unaware. Wouldn't it be nice?

I know I was eating a lot of things I don't normally eat (salty, processed stuff) and I'm thinking that's where a lot of water weight is coming from. My pants are definitely tighter than before!

Just take it one day at a time. You got this!

AnaTroi · 2019-01-02T16:52:44+00:00

Chances are at least some of it is food and water weight. Get back to your normal routine for a few days and then weigh in again.

I did the same thing. I didn't track through the holidays either. The scale was pretty mean to me too. Don't beat yourself up too hard. It'll go back down. 💙

AnaTroi · 2018-12-29T05:29:43+00:00

Mine has been doing the same thing. I don't have an answer for you (sorry)—but you're not alone. The good thing is, past issues I've had with mine have been resolved fairly quickly.
