I was in chat when someone posted a link to some girl's Xanga. I clicked it expecting to find some interesting material. Instead what I found was both disturbing and (in my opinion) psychotic. It appeared to be quite cult-like.

I don't know how much history this has, but I just recently stumbled upon a HUGE number of "Ana girls", or females that are "Pro-Anorexia Nervosa". In their blogs they seem to be glorifying a very serious and dangerous eating disorder.

Has anyone else seen anything like this before? It makes me feel really naive to think that I am just now finding out about it. And to think that there are support groups for people that glamourize being anorexic...

For more information I've provided links to two sources that I used to find out more about it.
