Pro-Ana? Has anyone else recently heard about this? Anybody else concerned?

you and that to the of fat so are is because people

I just heard about this Pro-Ana movement, group, whatever you want to call it.

Is anyone else concerned about raising children (especially girls) in a world where young people are literally starving themselves for a false sense of beauty?

I%26#039;m sorry, but when I see someone who looks like nothing more than a Holocaust victim, beautiful is the LAST thing that comes to my mind.

I saw my father after he came out of a 3 month hospital stay. He%26#039;s 6%26#039;%26#039; and weighed 87 pounds. He looked like a skeleton with skin. That%26#039;s it.

How anybody could call this glamorous, sexy, beautiful, or anything else, is beyond me.

Please post your thoughts, concerns, ideas, whatever.

Thanks.

I don%26#039;t think too skinny is attractive either.. Like, runway models are so ugly, I can%26#039;t figure out how they even became models. I kind of feel sorry for girls who try to starve themselves just to look more %26quot;attractive%26quot;. But there are more fat people than there are anorexic people.. and maybe people have lost sight of the boundary between normal and fat, and in attempts to not become %26quot;fat%26quot;, they become anorexic. If you get what I%26#039;m saying. I mean if you exercise enough and don%26#039;t eat junk food and get all the vitamins and stuff that you need, there%26#039;s no way you can become fat OR skinny, and it doesn%26#039;t matter how much you eat. It%26#039;s just that the American lifestyle is so screwed up, the American diet is so screwed up, even if you try hard you can%26#039;t make your diet completely healthy because in every single product you see at the store there%26#039;s all kinds of artificial chemicals to make it taste better and replace the natural sugars and fats, because people are just so scared of those. And you think that because they use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar you won%26#039;t get fat because there are no calories in artificial sweeteners, but you%26#039;re dead wrong, because as you can see you ARE getting fat, because the artificial sweeteners MAKE you fat. If you ever see a product on which it says, low-fat, no fat, no sugar, no cholesterol, that means that there%26#039;s something wrong with it; don%26#039;t buy it. Because if it says that that means that those things were supposed to be there, but were artificially removed and replaced with chemicals. Sorry, I keep talking about how to not get fat and your question is about anorexia... But I think part of the reason there are so many anorexics is because of there being so many fat people, and the fact that it%26#039;s so easy to get fat, so people are pressured to not be like that, and they don%26#039;t understand that it%26#039;s okay to be average - neither skinny nor fat.Answer Over!
