Ok, so this post is really an outlet for my hatred of pro-ana/pro-self harm websites or blogs. This is my opinion, and whatever anyone says I have no doubt in my pretentious mind that I am right in saying that these things are BAD. I’d rather get lost in alcohol and smoke than starve or hurt myself, and I wouldn’t wish that anyone did these things to themselves.
I’d just like to have a bit of a protective measure here in saying that I am not a doctor, this is not a professional opinion, please do whatever the hell you want, and for god’s sake don’t take anything I say (too) seriously. I haven’t researched this too much, but I have been on these websites and I know what they contain.
So just what are these things?
Pro Ana stands for Pro-Anorexia. These people encourage not eating, surviving on water, filling pockets with change to make you seem heavier, barely being able to stand or walk – sometimes even sit up -, just for the sake of being THIN. They give verious tips and tricks for making you seem normal weight when you are really NOT and they will tell you ways to distract you from the cravings. They tell you it is not ok to be “fat” and “ugly” and boys won’t like you. They will tell you that you will never be successful in life if you aren’t thin and you should be ashamed if you are not. They say it is a way to lose weight and feel better about yourself. They have a, I kid you not, MAXIMUM calorie intake counter and they tell you to punish yourself by not eating if you go over.
Perhaps I say this because I have never been tempted to try it, or perhaps I like to eat too much, but I don’t think Anorexia or any other eating disorder is going to make you beautiful, more loved, a boy magnet, successful, feel better about yourself. I fact I’m pretty sure it makes you skinny and faint and unable to concentrate on things for too long.
