"pro-ana": why/why not?

I'm not into the whole "pro-ana" deal, so i thought I'd just take a second look at it. Here are my opinions, findings and initial conclusions. Hopefully episode 1 of a series. I look forward to any discussion on the topic.

song is 'don't make a sound' by azure ray.

who was that clip of music by? I really like it

[mothwingss]

4 many people ana is god & it tells the 1 whos obeying ana that she doesnt need 2 eat, has 2 over excersize, take lots of pills, & makes the 1 feel like s***. If 1 doesnt listen 2 ana than how does 1 feel? If Im right than how does 1 feel looking @ pics? It gives 1 a boost of hope, confidence, & support. Cant ana demand all this 2? People read books 4 the same thing. Its a supposed mental illness anyways so as stuff comes out cant anas get more updated just like other mental illnesses?

[mothwingss]

no offense, but...the diction in your comment just further proves my point.

and YES, i agree that those with anorexia are as entitled to information on their disorder as the next person. what i don't support is the active promotion of self-destructive behaviors.

Very nice video. Those are pretty much the major points/components of pro-ana.

I could go on all day about the "proanorexia" community. I was thinking of making a video about it, but I'm afraid of losing my membership there, robbing me of my ability to spy on them from afar.

[mothwingss]

haha. that's a shame, it would be interesting to hear all the dirt you probably have on them.

[MyThunder8]

By providing life damaging tips and support? That makes pro ana SO much better.

[psycosilopsybin7]

there is no point, your not ignorant, and the only thing you need to worrie about is not losing your taste in music. AZURE RAY POWER!!!!!!!!!!

[xbeachbumx01]

hi im looking for some pro ana buddies message me or add me thanks

[SoTiredSoBored]

I liked the video, but it was very hard for me to hear you. I think you should either get a better mic or write down more text. I'm really interested in learning more about this.

[elibeth121]

If a video may be triggering why the hell are you putting this on here. You are encouraging young ladies to starve themselves

[TellsHowItIs]

The sites sound like anorexias mind because more than you think the people who make the sites either have or have had an ED themselves! They ARE sick usually. Don't hate on pro anas, what will that do?? Try to understand and help them if anything!!

[HelloHollyxx]

The point of being proana is to get thinner than thin.

Some people like blonde hair, some people like blue eyes and some people like their skin to be tight around their bones.

Anorexia is a mental health disorder when girls don't see themselves as thin and they do anything they can to drop weight..

Pro ana, thinspo etc etc is a choice.

[violinplayer33]

i support proanna 100 percent! its their choice if they wannha eat or not i mean, come on ppl its a damn fucking lifestyle. jeeezzz......

[artandis]

p.s. my comment was aimed more at people who dont have e.d.

my comment also doesnt speak for everyone with an e.d. just my views : )

[artandis]

Pro ana sites are made by people with these disorders. They seem disgusting and wrong to most people because their made by people who have mental illnesses. I have an eating disorder and I love pro ana sites, but I kow they arent healthy and to most seem disgusting. Its not a choice for me. Im working to change but its hard its not jsut a flick of a switch. If you dont have an eating disorder yeah your going to be confused by these sites. they arent nice. you probrobly wont understand them

[MyThunder8]

Word. When you have an ED, the only thing that changes is your weight and your self loathing gets worse. If you're trying to lose weight to fix everything else.. it's not going to work. You lose the weight, but everything else will still be there.
