Pro-ana glorifys a deadly illness and of course that's bad. Anorexia has destroyed my life, torn apart my family and is in the process of killing me. Ive been given a year to live and am powerless to do anything about it and you're asking whether it's bad to put yourself in the same situation? Imagine being forced to watch helplessly as your body begins shutting down on you, knowing you can't do anything about it cos this stupid illness is forcing you to carry on not eating and getting iller and iller and knowing that some day it really will take your life. Pro-anas say that they chose this as a lifestlyle choice. But this isnt a way to lose weight, It's an illness.The fact they seem to think you can just chose to develop it is kind of offensive when I really would give anything in the world not to have this.

I think you are looking for attention.

But yes being pro ana is a bad thing. You may think it's okay now, but it will catch up with you. It will hurt the people you love and it will shorten your life.

Sounds like you are not truly ana, though. Or else you'd totally hate yourself.

It's terrible. There are better ways to lose weight than starving yourself.

Starving yourself, as you know, is bad for you. maintain the weight you are at if nothing else.

Pro ana is a bd thing
its influencing girls such as yourself to starve yourslef
as a way of escaping
your a failure everytime you dont eat
stop looking at those pictures and vidoes of girls with eating disoorders
in order to be happy with yourself you have to see beyond the imperfections
beauty doesnt come from starving yourself its skin deep
beauty is loving and appreciating who you are
there are no imperfection or perfects
get help or stop and think about what yourdoing before it gets worse

Basically you have severe mental retardation, you seek control, like a whore seeks crack. Without control you cant cope and for that reason you suck. If I ever become president, people like you will be put down (the canine way).

Speaking as someone who's struggled with an eating disorder for years...

YES. Yes, it's a bad thing. You are seriously endangering your physical and mental health, both right now and in the long run. You are hurting your self-esteem through not eating (starvation can fuel depression and negative thoughts). You are hurting your family and friends, who want you to be healthy. You are using starvation and restriction as crutches instead of learning how to face your problems maturely.

If you belong to a "pro-ED" online community, you are most likely spreading misinformation to impressionable young women. I've seen pro-ana forums and there are a lot of completely incorrect and dangerous things being stated as fact.

Finally, you are making it harder for those of us who have EDs and genuinely want to get healthy. Treatment for eating disorders is already incredibly expensive, difficult to obtain, and often ineffective. People suffering from eating disorders often feel alone and stigmatized enough as it is, and the "pro-ana" trend, with its cutesy nicknames and disingenuous practices, does us no favors.

Anorexia nervosa is a disease, with an alarmingly high mortality rate and a low recovery rate. Being "pro-ana" makes about as much sense as being pro-cancer. I wouldn't wish an eating disorder on my worst enemy.

Keep it up if you want to mess your whole digestive system up.
