I'm a new Ana Options

[*islandgirl4eva*]

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.

i always see these sites.
They always subscribe to my layout site

^ Me too! They always subscribe to my site too.

It really scares me, they think it's the cool thing to do, and often they call it "tanorexia". A lot of the time they have like, diet & calorie intake journals - I find it really sad, actually.

Oh, and on those ads by google that appear over the fast reply boxes, there's this ad that says: get paid to blog about anorexia! make up to $1000/month by blogging about your life. It's free.

Umm..okay then.
