JEEZ Don't get touchy now... those ladies said they loved their bodies, and being that they post it for everyone to see on certain websites, I believe them. Besides, I never said ALL anorexics love their bodies... I'm not that ignorant. But I'm also not ignorant to not believe those that do.

There is more to being anorexic than simply wanting to be thin.
Absolutely. Exactly.

Re: Being fat isn't so bad...
I'm not anorexic, so I don't care if I'm right or wrong in this. I'll end it with it is what it is.

Yes, definitely.
Pro-ana is nothing new - it just means you're pro anorexic. Pro-ana became a "catch phrase" in the 90's - and I think there is a confusion between actual anorexics and those who just want to be skinny. The confusion being on the people who brag about it - as opposed to those who suffer silently and are just dwindling away.

I don't know how this topic spun this way, but I just wanted to say that I agree with this.
Real true sick people will not usually reach out (and/or brag) about it. Most anorexics die from it.

Exactly. People who are "pro-ana" view anorexia as a lifestyle choice rather than a disease. I think it's a HUGE defense mechanism so they don't have to admit that they have a problem

anorectics do not love their bodies. They are never satisfied with the way they look and view themselves as fat no matter what. They have a distorted body image. They usually hide behind baggy clothing, and would not lie out on the beach like that.
yes!
I don't know if this is all together true. While I do think that most are ashamed, in recent years there have been websites in which women suffering from eating disorders post skeletal pics of themselves online and such. Many of them, from what I heard, discuss it openly. Before I get flamed, the only argument I am making is that you see more and more of these women visibly anorexic and not hiding. Look at Lindsay Lohan (not saying she's anorexic but at the very least, severely underweight). There are many other celebrities that do not seem to be hiding when walking the runways skin and bones. I remember in my days growing up, anorexic bodies were more hidden.

No flaming
We can look at women and say they are anorexic b/c they are "skinny" - doesn't mean they are. Calista Flockheart and Lara Flynn Boyle come to mind.........
There seems to be a fine line these days...but I assure you, an anorexic is not going to walk around and flaunt their body. They look at their body and see nothing positive about it - nothing worthy of flaunting...
A skinny woman, however, in our society sill see it as flaunt-worthy. Those women can't win - Lindsay Lohan was too fat at one point and now she's too skinny - there is no happy medium in our society.
Anorexics have a disease - not many people are proud of having a disease and they don't go around telling people about it.

Re: Being fat isn't so bad...
When I worked in Victoria's, a girl came in who was SO skinny, that my pen fell out of my hand from shock! I had never in my life seen someone so thin! She really looked like a walking skeleton. I was absolutely speachless when I had to ring her up. I have never again seen anyone so thin...I still can't believe that she was actually ALIVE, that's how thin she was.

I have seen a girl who looks like that at my gym, running on the treadmill I am so tempted to tell her she needs to go to Burger King instead.
