    If it is okay to celebrate obesity, which is the cause of the number one preventable disease: cardiovascular disease, then it is okay to celebrate being ana, which is less harmful than keepling loads of fat on your body.

    omfg. You people who actually think that “pro-ana” is fine because it is their choice, and THINK they will learn, have some serious issues to work out. Pro Anorexia is NOT a choice; it something more along the lines of MENTAL DISORDER. When these girls & boys look in the mirror, they see someone fat, huge, disgusting. & it’s not there. They see fat that doesn’t exist. It’s horrible, sad, and true. Maybe the sad thing about it is the fact that most girls do it for the attention of the boys, and the “popular” girls and a bunch of bullshit like that.

    Let’s point out one thing.

    There is nothing cute about a girl or boy with bones and skin, nothing else. Your body begins to eat your muscles from the inside. Guess what? Your heart is a muscle. Your tongue is a muscle. Your legs, and arms, and every other part of body, has muscle.

    Simple fact.

    You’re killing yourself.
    Slowly.
    But you are doing nothing but dying.

    People are horrible. Look at the media. Those perfect little whores with their big breasts and such.

    1 reason I hate Barbie dolls.

    Every girl wishes they could look like that.

    It has been scientifically proven that looking like a Barbie is IMPOSSIBLE.
    The end.

    You will never be a Barbie.

    For boys, being Ken is nearly impossible.

    It is all a bunch of retarded bullshit.

    I hate anorexic and buliema.
    It’s a disorder. Eating & mental.

    The end.
    It’s over.

    This is for everyone on this site! My sister has been anorexic for a few years and for all the girls dealing with this disorder think about how it is effecting your family and how much it hurts to see there child or sister or ever best friend slowly dieing and theres nothing they can do to save you and for all the girls wanting to be anorexic your incredibly stupid because there is no way that anyone would want to kill them selves to be beautiful because its not worth it! And this is for the married women who wants to be skinny for her husbad! I lost my mom to this and you dont want to put your kids threw the pain i fell everyday! heres my e-mail for anyone who wants to talk or bitch for whatever reason! [personal details deleted]

    You are all complete morons.

    If you so badly want to be “ana” then don’t eat. Simple as that. Don’t ask for “tips” & crap, just don’t eat.

    I dare you to make it through a day.

    I swear, the number of wannarexics makes me want to vomit (no pun intended) but seriously, you all are idiots. Try going to rehab & try getting out of bed without collapsing because you haven’t eaten in days. Try punching yourself & crying & taking hundreds of diet pills because you hate yourself & you wish you were dead. “Ana” is a bunch of BS. Try watching your father cry & your brother scream at you to eat a rice cake. It’s not “Great”, it’s probably the most horrible thing in the entire universe & I wish all of you would just shut up & get over your annoying, attention-seeking selves. Let me quote those who SERIOUSLY need to get lives

    “I was barely anorexic & I want to be it again!”
    No one wants to BE anorexic, more than anything they want to recover or die. Take your pick
    “I want to be anorexic so bad!”
    No you don’t, you want to be skinny & get attention.
    “Hi, I used to suffer from ana!”
    Ana is the name for the girl that lives on your street & probably makes fun of you, hence, you suffer.

    Ugg, people disgust me…

    Just a different point of view:
    I am 25 years old and I have been dealing with EDs for fifteen years. Today, I feel and look better than ever before (not thanks to genetics) and I am in very good physical shape. I am not skinny or fat at all, and more than anything I am happy. I have found that with my busy schedule I have no time for exercise and no patience for diets and for that reason throwing up and not eating most of the time have been the only way to keep my weight in check, effectively.

    In my case, I consider this actions part of my daily schedule, and right or wrong it has been effective.

    Ironically, I would be embarrased to admit this openly to anybody, including my husband, who I’ve been living with for 4 years and has no idea. Now that I am studying Psychology I understand my “problem” much better, and I have come to accept it just for what it is. I am not trying to change it, and I will listen to people opinions but I will not accept judgement from anybody.

    Today, I can say that I like who and how I am, and my husband couldn’t be prouder to be with me. Why would I want to change that?

    This is my way of life and it may not be the healthiest way, but it has been the most effective; after all I see the point to it everyday in the mirror and the way I feel, and for that I know it’s worth it everytime.

    Some people smoke, some people speed, some people have an unhealthy diet, some people drink…. And I? I throw up!

    hey, i am a person who was barley anorexic who is trying again… and it isnt fun.I want to be skinny and be just bones but at the same time i crave the taste of food.. and i cant puke,i just cant.Since i’ve had trouble being anorexic, to deal with all my stress i’ve been cutting myslef.Both of my arms are all cuts and bloody .. but thats just a healthier way than anorexia to deal with stress.I also have a best friend who cuts herself and has been sent to the hospital and still get’s worse.That friend and some more are also trying to be anorexic.expesially my one friend who has also started puking(usually 3 times a day).. well my point is anorexia is a horrible thing to have. and im preying for everyone with it.If you dont have a problem with it yet.. just try to forget about it and live life.. besides life is short so have fun and eat great foods while you can. oo P.S. being skinny sucks on your ribs.. my skin getsm stuck in them and under them.. even when i am eating normal.. and it hurts to sleep on your stomach, and sit in a chair sometimes.

    i am anorexic, i am in recovery right now. i just wana say to anyone out there who wants to loose weight - do it to be healthy, not skinny, thin and anorexic. anorexia is a very serious illness, its a nightmare, i wouldnt wish it upon anyone. please dont get into it. i hate these types of sites who encourage anorexia, its disgusting..it is not normal but yet people are making it feel like its the thing to do & ITS NOT!!! its just like suicide, ANOREXIA KILLS. dont live to eat, eat to LIVE.
    my friend died from anorexia, its painful to see. people you have got to get things intp perspective.. there are people in the world who dont choose to die, & then there are sites like these encouraging it!! its terrible. you only get one very short life, live it dont kill urself by not eating

    P.S. i think the names ana and mia are silly, but it’s quicker to type them so i just use it as an abbreviation when describing my eating disorders
