Five times as many pro-ana websites as eating disorder support sites
November 7th, 2005A quick Google search for “pro-ana” or “pro-mia” will turn up a long list of websites advocating anorexia or bulemia as a lifestyle choice. Parents and friends are often unaware of the “anorexic underground” culture, much of which is facilitated through online communities revolving around encouraging, rather than recovering from eating disorders.
From HealthDay (at Yahoo):
A visit to a typical “pro-ana” Web site — an online forum for anorexics — tells a disturbing story. Photos of rake-thin women are everywhere; a shot of one emaciated model, her bones protruding, is emblazoned “Feel Sexy, Join [the] ProAna Movement.”
In the site’s chat forum, one correspondent says, “i hate myself im so big and i have to loss [sic] 20 lbs by june 3th.”
Another correspondent repeats the pro-anorexia catchphrase: “Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.”
“Pro-ana” forums like these are sprouting throughout the Web, and a new study finds that teens with an eating disorder who visit these sites fare far worse than other young anorexics or bulimics.
Pro-eating-disorder Web sites have proliferated on the Internet, luring vulnerable teens into viewing anorexia or bulimia as a “lifestyle choice” rather than an illness. In fact, these sites now outnumber pro-recovery sites five to one, experts point out. By 2003 — the last time experts attempted a precise count — over 500 “pro-ana” sites existed on the Internet, Peebles said.
