Also great, however I prefer R/fatlogic because there is 0 self awareness.
Yeah, I used to lurk there a lot when it first got started. A lot of people claiming they lived on 700 cals a day and they were so full and fat from that and how could anyone eat 1200? I think it was half anachans and half fatfucks in denial.
 
Good lord, I remember when this shit was big on tumblr. Lot of it seemed to be tied to the "sickly cute" kind of communities. I get that some people want to lose weight- that's fine. But going to such extremes as to make it almost your entire fucking personality is a sign of some serious mental damage. It certainly doesn't help that there's men out there who prey on younger women and teenage girls because they've got a fucking fetish for anorexic/bulimic chicks.
 
Has the overlap between self harm Twitter and ED Twitter been mentioned yet? A discussion in another thread reminded me of a time I was lurking for milk and someone posted horrifically deep self harm (to the bone) and there were multiple replies from teens along the lines of “if I were as fat as you I’d do the same” or “go deeper fatty”

It happened less than a year ago so maybe someone else might know what I’m talking about but I remembered thinking DAMN
:stress:
These kids are a different breed of deranged menace

Yeah Some of them actually ask for other people to call them "Fatties" for motivation. They also have a thing called "fatspo" if that hasn't been mentioned yet, which is looking at pictures of fat woman or fat people standing next to skinny people because i think it gives them a sense of security. Like "oh, at least i'm not as fat as the person in the picture".

Do the Pro-Anas also watch shows such as My 600 Pound Life, for motivational purposes, to keep the weight loss going?

Yup. The fatspo threads were mostly HAES tiktok cows though. I remember one obese tiktoker with a large following getting on their ass about posting her as fatspo and a whole bunch of the mean girl anachans had meltdowns and went priv over it.

Literally “you can’t call us out we’re mentally ill minors!!!”

Edit to avoid DP: supersize vs superskinny was the show of choice for most anachans. They saw it as a direct comparison of their ideal body vs their worst nightmare.

I'm pretty sure a big portion of the audience of YouTube mukbangers are pro-anas. They can watch another person eat thousands of calories in a sitting, ruin their life for money and Youtube fame, helping them stick to their starvation.

The most obvious ones on YouTube are the mukbang calorie count videos because they just show the foods, show the calories and briefly show the mukbanger eating them. You wouldn't really find entertainment in those videos as a lolcow enthusiast because they don't show the deathfats talking dumb shit and cut out all that stuff. So logically, that would leave Pro-anas and feeders as the only target audience.

Most people who post on fatlogic are fat retards who have been trying to lose weight for 3 days. They all sperg tf out about calories in the comments of a repost of some equally-stupid Instagram diet influencer and then end up crying about how they had a "setback" (wah I stuffed my fucking face with doritos again, woe is my fat, no-self-control-having ass) in the support threads lol.

not only that, they give a lot of info about the food.
also you can find some lurking on /fit/ fat people hate threads.
 
Some pro ana sites have meanspo threads where you post your stats and/or a picture of yourself and the other posters call you names.

Then there is the powerleveling re: diagnosis. Everyone seems to want to be AN/R or AN/BP and no one wants the EDNOS label. Because, wild guess here, being ‘ana’ is pure…

Pro ana is a weird world.

My guess is because there's a lot of children/teens that have somehow gotten into the community.

Ana is more pure because it requires you to be super underweight. EDNOS doesn’t have the Bmi requirement. A deathfat could be EDNOS, while only skellies (even if they are skellies in training) are anas. It's all about being better than those fatties who you're in competition with.

I see a lot of pearl clutching from the legit fatties I know about how calorie counting to lose weight and weighing your food, or using smaller plates, etc leads to eating disorders.

None of those things will lead to EDs in a healthy person. They are tools to help teach fatties proper portion sizes and how to eat properly. Things they don't know. A portion of steak is like three ounces. A fat person has no idea what that looks like, so pull out the scale. After a while you're supposed to learn to do without it. But precise measuring of food and logging of every calorie you eat for life does not make it a disorder. Of the former fat people that successfully lost at least 20 pounds and kept it off for at least 5 years, 90% of them do some form of food logging.

In an unhealthy person this will create a disorder, but most people will become obsessed for a while then relax over time as it becomes a habit and it starts to become normal life.

I think people are pre-disposed to things like eating disorders and that fatties just don't want to change.

Some of them are straight up eating disordered. Always Hungry comes to mind. It has been awhile since I watched her, but imagine getting a degree in law just to waste that in favor of showcasing your serious eating disorder to the entire world.
 
When do you figure they will discover that rather than not eating they can just work out like crazy. An era where every other chick with daddy issues is comparing self harm scars in gym locker rooms and having the upper body strength to open jars would be truly a gamechanger.

Theyre bulimics who do that. Instead of throwing up, they over exercise. I swear I read in some article about a woman who'd "binge" but then would walk on the treadmill for 8 HOURS EVERY DAY.

She had to have been built like a fucking olympic athlete right? Like goddamn that's how much time most normies spend sleeping.

no because they don't eat enough to gain muscle- they do cardio to drop weight but they avoid anything that would create muscle and extra weight.
 
I remember watching Louis Theroux's documentary about anorexia and there was a girl who would compulsively exercise. She wouldn't even sit down because standing makes you burn calories - albeit extremely little, maybe like 5 calories an hour. She couldn't even sit for 10 seconds.

Plenty do. You'd be surprised how many destroy their bodies by overexercising (actually building muscle and a healthy body through working out still requires rest and healing, and moderation is a dirty word to anorexics). Most still end up weak and with brittle bones, except now their hearts are in even more danger and they get 600 of their 650 daily calories from protein.

Yeah I watched that on netflix. The older 60 year old who'd been suffering with it since the 1970s was probably the bleakest one of the lot.
