🤝 Community Pro-Ana - "I need to lose 20 more pounds or I'll never be pretty!"

I dont know what's going on in that photo; could be ED, could be shoops, and/or plastic surgery.

Most likely a combination, it looks uncanney.

Huh, I've never seen an ana-chan want a big butt either? My brief exposure to skelly-land told me many of them scorn female curves.

Maybe this as thinspo reveals some dichotomy between the skelemtins who are already proper bags of bones just trying to complete their metamorphosis into human jerky, and the normal to fat self hating girls with truly unhinged perceptions of beauty standards. I dont know what's going on in that photo; could be ED, could be shoops, and/or plastic surgery. But there's definitely anorexics who look at that and go "lolfat".

I think you hit the nail on the head, some of them are chasing extreme beauty standards that have been warped even more than usual by the disorder. I remember one girl shared pictures from her BBL, and her new butt was praised by some, the thing they talked shit about was her getting fat put in the hip dips.

From what I saw when I browsed these sites, there's a good number of them who do want feminine curves. I think the potential to be sexualized is a very polarizing desire for them, I'm guessing because so many of them have sexual abuse history and that seems to present itself in a couple different extremes.

Some are determined to be the epitome of sexual desire, starve away all the fat they can, have the rest transferred to their ass and get GG titties to top off the porn star look. They only want attention if it's male sexual desire or female jealousy, as that's what makes them feel worthwhile. A lot of focus on ratios, proportions, curves, fashion, fitness, etc.

On the other hand you've got the ones who are actively trying to starve away the sexy bits, or just every bit of their body. Their worst fear is being sexualized, so they focus on taking up as little space as possible and becoming either invisible/unnoticeable or ugly/scary looking. This is the Ana-chan they told us about in school. Baggy clothes, bonespo, might snap at you if you sit too close. No real interests outside of self harm.

Some would oscillate between these two extremes, which was really weird to see.

I know this is really late, but I can contribute a little to this conversation if anyone still cares about it.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Years ago I used to browse the site myproana for my morbid curiosity. It was before I knew sites like the farms existed, so screenshots unfortunately didn't occur to me.

That said, I can remember a thread about this subject. It was titled something like 'Would you want to live in Ethiopia or a 3rd world country to help you starve yourself?'

Like already mentioned here, many of them said it would kill the competitiveness/point of it for them. I remember a few Americans specifically saying they like their fat country because it makes their "willpower" that much more 'impressive', the size difference more pronounced, etc.

Some did say yes, and the reasons were pretty varied. A lot of teens griping about how they wish they could be in a starving country so their parents couldn't yell at them for not eating. Some were so disgusted by fat they wanted to be in a country free of it, or that it felt 'cleaner'. The most common reason seemed to be that if they were in a 3rd world country, they would not have access to food so it would be much easier to starve. I'm guessing these were the fatty patties who can only put down the donut if someone physically ripped it from their hands and strapped them down when they tried to run after it.

I believe it was in that thread that someone shared an article that discussed eating disorders in these countries. I'm going to try to find it, because if I remember correctly the article even mentioned that bulimia has been documented.

This conversation would come up every so often among other threads. Korean and other skinny Asian countries were of course the dream for most of them, both for the skinny goalz crap and because a lot of them want plastic surgery too. There were discussions on Indian, Korean and Ethiopian diets because people wanted to use them to starve themselves. Every so often that chart of average BMI for every country would be posted and the thread would usually be people wishing they lived in X starving country so they could be smol or lamenting at how they would be considered obese in it.

The interest in Korean, Ethiopian, and Indian diets is probably related to the spice content. Spicy food does speed up the metabolism a bit and makes you feel full quicker. It isn't going to magically make you lose large amounts of weight, though.

Awful low-calorie recipes from R/fatlogic. There’s been much cracking down over pro-Ana content on Reddit so I can’t find very much. These are hilarious though.

I remember seeing a dessert recipe that had cauliflower and stevia but can’t find it now. Horrifying

Did it also have cinnamon on by any chance? Sounds like one of the fit vegan ginger's monstrosities.

Naw but that thread is certainly pro-Ana gold, however there are many such freaks who eat similarly evil concoctions.

If all I had to look forward to was bologna cupcakes and cottage cheesecake I’d fucking stop eating too. They might just be onto something

That sub used to be snark and posts from the fat acceptance movements. After r/ProED shut down, the hoards of anachans went to r/FatLogic and r/1200isPlenty.
I remember an AITA post where a teen was calling her parents "narcissistic" for taking away her laptop and privacy after they found her posting on pro ed forums.

Rather thrilled to be reminded of R/1200isplenty. I will have to post a few times. Sorry, here is the screenshots of choice:

Spoiler: A hate crime against Japan

Spoiler: “NO”

Spoiler: “A hate crime against USA”

Spoiler: “Disgusting”

Spoiler: “A hate crime against México”

Second post! Sorry!

Spoiler: R/1200isplenty horror

It looks alot like cat shit so I like that it comes from “catbox.moe”, sounds right to my ears

At this # of calories, simply eat a sandwich

order a delicious 700 calorie Dinner or eat that…. what a hard choice.

If you cannot pick “hating Mexicans” or “hating myself”, make tacos that look like this taco.

“Tastes like sticky toffee pudding”, sure Jan

never, ever, should meat be so gray

No, it is not

God! What a sad birthday celebration! At that point, you're just better off ending it.

 

[Letora]

I've noticed a "euphoric" type of speech in the postings from people who are restricting calories that I associate with people who have just tried extreme dieting for the first time, perhaps preteens and teens, that older people with EDs lose. It seems the first time you start restricting, it is far easier to be consistent and get quick results. When you get older or do it for long enough, your body rebels and makes it incredibly difficult in multiple ways. That's where you see the anorexia -> binge eating disorder lifelong struggle show up for some people.

I've seen the nostalgia for the "younger restriction times" referenced many times by older people with a history of eating disorders. I also think there are far too many people who don't know their true TDEE these days, and think that because they're short they should be eating 1200 kcal. I don't believe it.

Spoiler: Powerlevel Nostalgia?

These meals that these people are posting in 1200 is plenty are giving me flashbacks to eating a packet of PB crackers for a meal in school, or a bowl of cereal with water and 1/4 cup of milk when I was younger. I remember feeling like fainting when standing up, my hair falling out, blue fingernails, loss of significant muscle mass (from not eating any protein like a dumbass), with a strange strength of will to starve myself keeping me going. It wasn't successful in the long-term. They aren't happy memories. My body will not allow me to do that anymore. It's tired as fuck of that behavior. These people come off like fresh little babies to dieting.

Of course there are those exceptions that stick with anorexia for life, but I don't think they are as common as people whose survival instincts kick in and override this shit with binge eating.

 

[The Joker]

Nutrition sperg here. 1200 a day can be beneficial for women with smaller builds and little physical activity but it is not a sufficient amount of calories for most that want to lose weight and maintain it. Reddit seems to have a very "all or nothing" view when it comes to dieting and even in r/loseit, a good number or the users promote the 12k sub.

The quest bar birthday celebration is almost as sad as the gray meat.

 

[Skin Pop]

Spoiler: More of the horrifying foods

I don’t know what this is supposed to be. No recipes added

Not horrible, but, “pizza”?

Dry, cannot chew, celery

Yea it does “sound like a gross combo”

“the best thing ever”, sure Jan

“delicious”, sure jan

Stop, please!!

 

[The Joker]

Nothing says "I have an eating disorder" like eating 7 day old plain lettuce to quil your hunger...

 

[Skin Pop]

Horrifying food is fun, but, this is for the pro Ana thread, so I have pictures from R/1200isplenty, that will get your skelly senses tingling.

Spoiler: Ana olympics

Spoiler: I can hear a trumpet, played by Skelly fingers

Spoiler: Someone makes a comment, with sanity

Then, anemoiaed says to abuse RX drugs, to get skinnier. Ok…

Spoiler: Simply eat food

This is not lunch!

Spoiler: Ok, a little bit of more horrifying food. As a treat.

An additional hate crime against México. Fuck you USA

Well, this one is not too bad, but, it does look horrifying, also “exotic”?

 

[Skin Pop]

Oh, R/snakejuice also. It is the “macho” subreddit for eating disorders.

Spoiler: Snakey Juice

it is a subreddit about a diet youtuber, who says to drink his “snake juice”, water and electrolytes, for long periods of time. EDs for the lads.

Spoiler: it is, unhealthy

Spoiler: Drugs for appetite suppressant

Spoiler: “This is exactly like using meanspo in 2014 tumblr”

Spoiler: Yea, this is very healthy!

 

[Skin Pop]

I forgot, there is one subreddits that is very proana, R/drunkorexia, very depressing if I am honest

Spoiler: Screeno’s

I think her kid knows, this is really sad

this is sad, I hope nobody here finds this familiar,

The subject line of the post is very confusing, but it definitely should to go in this thread!

I am not a scientists, but this does not sound true…

Ok, this one made me laugh
