Are You Addicted To Pro-Ana And Thinspiration Sites? by Naiviv(f): 5:34pm On Nov 27, 2014
Pro-ana refers to the promotion of the
eating disorder anorexia nervosa.
Pro-ana organizations differ widely in
their stances. Most claim that they
exist mainly as a non-judgemental
environment for anorexics; a place to
turn to, to discuss their illness, and to
support those who choose to enter
recovery. Others deny anorexia
nervosa is a mental illness and claim
instead that it is a "lifestyle choice"
that should be respected by doctors
and family.
Girls going through such issues become addicted to their sites and taking starving to the extreme.
Members of such support groups
Endorse anorexia and/or bulimia.
Share crash dieting techniques and
recipes.
Coach each other on using socially
acceptable pretexts for refusing
food, such as veganism(which
is notably more prevalent in the
eating-disordered in general.
Compete with each other at losing
weight, or fast together in displays
of solidarity.
Commiserate with one another after
breaking fast or binging.
Advise on how to best induce
vomiting , and on using laxatives and
emetics .
Give tips on hiding weight loss from
parents and doctors.
Share information on reducing the
side-effects of anorexia.
Post their weight, body
measurements, details of their
dietary regimen or pictures of
themselves to solicit acceptance and
affirmation.
Suggest ways to ignore or suppress
hunger pangs.
Many have popular blogs and forums
on which members seek
companionship by posting about their
daily lives or boasting about
personal accomplishments of weight
loss.
Most Nigerians don't know their young girls go through this and the sooner they are advised, the better for their health.
