The Truth About Online Anorexia 4/5

Fearne Cotton examines the ongoing trend for super-slim women and immerses herself in the worrying world of pro-ana websites who encourage anorexia and starvation as a life choice.

As Fearne explores the diet and exercise regime of a pro-ana, shell try some of the extreme regimes that they endorse and meet other girls whove embraced the same lifestyle. She will explore the seductive nature of these support groups, examine the world of competitive dieting, and look at relationships that ordinary women have with each other when it comes to diet and body image.

funny how they shallowed anorexia illness into 'i want to look like this model / singer/ actress' when it's a serious, complex disorder, usually triggered by family issues. meh

It's not about being skinny it's about emotional thing that you want to control but then you direct that control on food

That woman she interviewed, Anna is SO sick. Its so sad, she has noenergy, power, she almost looks like a pale corpse, she is boring and too fragile. This isnt beautiful. She is breaking and just listening to her makes me a little depressed. So sad.

I dunno if its funny or not that as soon as she saw her own photo I knew which website it was on -.-

The picture of the skeletal model is heavily photoshopped by the way.

Wow, this makes me feel bad for those girls. This woman doesn't know a lot of anorexia. It's not just wanting to be super thin, it's more complicated then that. I know someone at my school who is obsessed with anorexia but isn't. All she does it where slimming clothes, and put makeup on her face an arms to look thinner and pretend not to eat. Disappointing...

Pro ana =/= Anorexia
