Again, feedback would be really good.

@joslynnelizabethh04 first of all i'm glad this has helped you, i find it so soul destroying to see people stumble into the pro ed world thinking it will somehow aid them because it's so glamorised.

i have to say though it's near impossible to 'become anorexic' in the way you use the term. it's an illness that should never be confused with a diet.

the scary thing is, that so many people think they can adopt these 'life styles' as pro ed sites promote them and then just stop.

[HOLZ105]

@joslynnelizabethh04 in so many cases this is true. people adopt a pro ed diet/lifestle of whatever they wish to call it and never develop and eating disorder. some though, aren't so lucky. you lose control and eventually if ou don't get help lose your life.

there are so many ways to diet healthily

but most importantly, you need to see the beauty within yourself.

@kaylynblan That is eXACTLY that Holz is saying. To be wary and cautious of you choices . For some … Dieting is a phase , and for others more emotionally vulnerable , it becomes an obsession that leads to disease . When you start an diet , you control it , when you obsess about it due to emotional relief , It controls you.

@MzPooh0211 if someone suffers from an eating disorder they should distance themselves from such sick communities as the pro ed ones.

eating disorders are not games.

I only discovered these little pro-ana and pro-mia sites today, and they just make me sick. For about half an hour, they had me praying for a mental illness before I could control myself and the terrifying direction my thoughts were taking me in. I hope you get better, and thanks on behalf of everyone you've ever made come to their senses x

literally, this video is amazing, I could not put it better myself at how awful pro ana/mia are, I hope people that have wanted anorexia watch this, and they will soon realize it is hell on earth, and well quite frankly I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. (not that I actually have enemies) ahah

Finally someone who understands.

I am so so so against pro ana stuff! I've had an eating disorder for a year and a half- that's a year and a half too long. My ED came on so hard so fast that i could not resist it, and to this day I can't stop. People trying to become like... this... this untrustworthy miserable shit of a person, who would, given the chance give anything and everything to just go back to how I was. I should be asleep. I can't sleep.I should be a straight A student, instead I get extra time for bad concentration.

Girl, much creadit2u4speakin out! As a former 'ana-miac' i can relate. Get well successufully.

[MrAirickWarhol]

dont forget about the guys too!

i totally agree; ive been in recovery for 3 years now.

very insightful! good video. dont worry about what people have to say about your opinions on "pro-ana/mia", youre entitled to a voice and an opinion! go girl!

[RedSwan91]

I have a lot of respect for you getting through this really horrible illness. I hate that young girls are really falling into this and don't even understand the longterm damage they are doing! thank you for posting

PROANA is of the devil. Stay away from that sight. Just like the girl in the video said, they dress up anorexia in a cute name to lure in the victims. Stay away from that garbage. Satan wants you dead.
