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. |
