Ana/Mia websites

whoever made that site is weird

I didnt make this pyramid and I do not agree fully with it. Smoking is deadly and my grandmother is dying because of it ,if you chose to smoke thats your own problem but please dont!

However twisted they may be, you have to argue that those websites can be informative. Apart from the serious ana/mia stuff, they have a lot of information on topics like nutrition and exercise.

Tip: Sneaking Exercise
Get fit or fit everything else in? Getting in shape takes time. Think you don't have it? Think again! Try these tips to sneak weight loss exercise into your daily routine:
- Park farther away and walk
- Household chores provide terrific fitness exersice as you lift, stretch and tone
Etc.

Just to show; they have a lot of things you'd expect to find on any dieting/fitness website, which can actually be quite helpful.

i just searched took one look and almost threw up

irony, perhaps?

i went of and did a fair bit of research on this, apart from the fact my mate nearly died because if these stupid web sites, i find them sick and awful, why woudl you want to starve yourself to the point where you can hardly walk, and do anything for yourself? i understand why girls, boys, women and men want to be thin becasue we are told that is the way to be, and the way its best for us, but do it properly starvation isnt a nice thing to come back from, one of the carpenter girls died because of anorexia!!

oh, my eyes... its way beyond barely Sick to do something like that, anorexia and bulimia are serious matters, not something make an "all-for-it" site for, its just sick.

But people who are anorexic and bullimic are "all for it". Do you think that they're joking or something? That they're having a laugh when making these sites?

I've said it before, those sites are a support system. You may find it sick, confronting, whatever, but they help the people going through anorexia and bullimia. Even if it isn't stopping them.

Think of it this way. Say you self harmed, or something. Whenever you're really frustrated, which is quite often, you deal with it by taking it out on yourself. But then your friends find out, and they say "don't do it don't do it". Do you think that helps, or do you think that adds to the frustration?

Well, let's apply that to what these people are going through. Having anorexia is an incredibly hard time. You have those thoughts telling yourself you're not good enough, you're too fat, you're too ugly, you'll never be good enough, but at the same time, you've having this nagging little thought at the back of your head that tells you what you're doing is wrong. You're parents may suspect that there is something going on, and try to make you eat, which my doing so adds to the headache you already have.

But then you go on one of these sites, and you find support and understanding. These people know what it's like to hate themselves, to think that they're not good enough, and do anything to look perfect.

That is pretty messed up. Anorexia and Bullemia are unhealthy. I know of a person who has gone through both and tell me how it's actually horrible. I've also read plenty of books as well.

People who are extremely thin don't look beautiful. They look sick, unhealthy, and not pretty whatsoever.

Those people are sick and those sites shouldn't be allowed. Not at all.

Can't there be something done about it?

I Am So Beautiful! FUCK!:

They are morally wrong.
But so is censorship, in my opinion.

I used those sites when I was ana/mia for tips.
Now I use them for research.

I see.

I guess that's better than tips.

Where is this website anyway?

Nevermind.

There's a site [I won't list a link or name] that I suppose you could call pro-ana.
But... the girl is absolutely adament about the fact that if you want to become anorexic you're stupid and you shouldn't and it's harmful and unhealthy, etc.
I like that.
It's better than the ones where the girls say "i'm doing this and you can too".
It is a mental disease and blogging can help with those.

I like it as well. At least the person isn't making the disease seem so great. As in, something it's not.
