I know pro anorexia is a topic that really makes people angry... but some people understand it and are cool with it. A lot of webites/groups I have visited about pro-ana have been shut down, but I would like to know if there is someplace I can go to that truly is pro-ana? I would prefer it if I was emailed the answers. And I know some people are going to post hateful replies to this, but I really don't care. It's not like I haven't heard that stuff before.

PLEASE dont look for pro-ana sites, I realise that you've
probably heard all there is to hear, but anorexia truly is a
killer disease, wont you just try to listen and have an open
mind and heart to the proffesionals who know all about
what wasting away can do to you. What ever you decide
I wish you the very best and hope that you can live a happy
healthy life

If you posted your email, I could direct you to some amazing and helpful pro anorexia/bulimia sites.
Pro Anorexia sites are for those with the MENTAL illness. The people who populate these sites either have bulimia/anorexia/ednos. Basically, a pro anorexic site is to give people with the illness support. They have the same tendancies as you. They understand. They binge (eat enormous amounts of food in one sitting) just like you. They purge (vomit). They want to be perfect. And for a person with an eating disorder, this means they want to be thin. They want to look good in everything, and for everyone to envy them.
To many anorexia means control. Many girls and boys on pro anorexic sites have no control on anything in their life, and they can control their eating disorder.
Most on pro anorexia sites have not told their family members or friends about their eating disorders, and they go on the site so they have a place to talk about their day. They offer help also. Say one person wants to recover. Many will talk to the girl or boy and give her suggestions. They do not want an eating disorder, but the reality is that Anorexia is like an addiction to drugs. It is so unbelievably hard to stop, and recover, and most don't. So people on pro anorexia sites deal with their eating disorder together, instead of alone.
(Anorexia means some have a view of themselves as fat. Even if they are completely skin and bones, all they see is fat that they NEED to lose, or no one will love them.)
*Please don't copy and paste this somewhere else. Anorexia means a lot to me.*

Pro ana is no good. But you know that already.
If you want to starve yourself to skin and bones then go ahead. Hardcore bones is not sexy, it's DEAD.
Google pro ana.

I really don't think you will find any pro-anorexia sites.. and if you did they will be shut down soon enough..
PS.. i don't think there is anyone that is cool with pro-anorxia sites

Google it. If you can't find it, it doesn't exist. Anybody who is "cool" with anorexia don't understand it.

Anorexia should not be a good think, it more unhealthy to be anorexic than obese probably.

That's like a pro-suicide group. I don't get it either. Please explain the philosophy behind it.
