Pro-ana is a pseudonym for the pro-anorexia internet movement, composed entirely of attention whoring 16-year-old girls who believe that having an eating disorder is a career and lifestyle choice and not a disease. Every guy wishes their girlfriend was anorexic because no one likes chubby girls. Pro-ana websites do a service to men everywhere who are sick of looking at fat girls.

MANorexia: Unlike Pedobear, Ana's not just for little girls!
Sometimes boys fail to have a normal masculine self-image, whether because it is damaged (Michael Jackson), or lost ( Stimmung) .
- Which of the four do you think said this quote: the teenage Michael Jackson, the ancient Egyptian with the broken-off nose, the buff guy proud of his physique, or the boy with the skinny jeans and the tentative face?
Anorexia IS a Disease HAHA DISREGARD THAT I'M FAT
Those who are pro-ana believe that anorexia is not harmful and is a lot like getting a tattoo. They are only correct in this assumption if the tattoo needle is infected with AIDS from the last customer and the tattooer is a giant bear named Moe and the tattoo is of the phrase "Holy fucking idiocy!" tattooed across their very visible rib cages.
Indisputable proof that anorexia is a disease is easily found in the title: "pro-ana." The lack of nutrients flowing to their brains obviously keeps them from realizing that it's anorexia and not anarexia. Or something. Actually, that's no good. Forget the title. Indisputable proof that anorexia is a disease is easily found in common sense and unanimous medical opinion. The lack of nutrients flowing to their brains obviously keeps them from realizing that they are retarded.
When these pro-ana girls find out meds such as Adderall can suppress hunger they immediately schedule appointments with their pediatricians. Suddenly every self-conscious girl "needs help focusing", or is "bouncing off the walls hyper". If there are at least 5 or more functioning braincells left in the pro-anas' head they skip the doctor and do the most logical thing possible: they hold a pharmacist hostage until they are supplied with Adderall, or another hunger suppressor. Of course, the pharmacist would have to be either a legal midget or an armless degenerate if they are incapable of defending themselves against an 80 pound skank.
Jargon
![A typical bloated ana pic, found in the internets pro-ana toilet[1]](/Image:Bloatedana.jpg)
Here are some terms you may find useful.
- Ana—Anorexia. The band Silverchair, whose lead singer was anorexic, wrote a song called "Ana's Song."
- BBW—Big beautiful woman. Euphemism for a spherical or giant-pear-shaped woman who hates normal-sized people a lot and calls them all anas.
- Diet—"I'm just on a diet." = "I'm starving myself to death, won't you fucking notice me, PLEASE?"
- ED—Eating disorder. Euphemism for being a batshit crazy attention whore drawing attention by starving to death.
- Mia—Not "missing in action" but "mia" from BuliMIA. The two (ana/mia) tend to go hand in hand in these communities, as the girls share tips on the best ways to throw up and induce diarrhea.
- Thinspiration—combination of "thin" and "inspiration" (duh). Most thinspirations consist of pictures of pictures of thin models with inspirational phrases. For a while, a popular method of trolling was to post Holocaust victim photos under an LJ-cut labeled "thinspiration" or "thinspo". Some phrases include (these have all been spotted and are not made up by us!—ED staff)
- "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels."
- "Love yourself to the bone."
- "There's no such thing as inner beauty."
- "Being thin and not eating are signs of true will power and success."
- "Quod me nutrit, me destruit." (Latin for "What nourishes me, destroys me".)
Talking about weight
Eskimos have at least 100 words for snow. Pro-anas have over 9000 words for weight.
- CW—Current weight.
- HW—Highest weight.
- LW—Lowest weight.
- GW—Goal weight. Usually horribly disproportionate, like a 5'10" girl who wants to weigh 90 pounds.
- STGW—Short-term goal weight.
- LTGW—Long-term goal weight.
- IP—In-patient treatment. A place where ana gurls are given instructions on how to operate sandwiches.
The terms "ana" and "mia" are often anthropomorphized and used as if they were actual people, so as to hide their "disease" from friends and family and in their posts. Example: "I sat with Ana during lunch, and we will also have 5th and 6th period together. I saw Mia in the bathroom after class and will probably hang out with her again after school."
ED communities
- something-fishy—Run by nazis. This board is for recovering only, and is unfunny. Numbers are replaced with asterisks because knowing someone else's weight might make a fishy suicide. Making a thread to exchange hug emoticons is also against the rules, because it might make a fishy feel left out and suicide. Any post has a 79% chance of causing suicide. Dr. Phil recommends it.
- TF—Filled with drama, but insanely repetitive. Most of the posters there are old now, and don't post about vomiting or starving much anymore. There is a forum specifically for flames, and that's the only real reason why anyone goes there. TFers are almost always vegans, liberal, and stupid.
- P.A.S.S.—stands for Pro-Ana Suicide Society. Full of 16 year old girls who get raped by the entire football team, their doctor, a teacher, their principal, and your mom. Anyone questioning stories of surprise sex is banned.
- Purgatorium—A LiveJournal community that once kicked out a tranny troll for being overly supportive for far too long. Now at the_purg— because purg_chic deleted the original.
- Proanorexia —A LiveJournal community once run by a suicide case, and later transfered to a 55 year old man. Currently the "World's Largest Pro Anorexia Site".
- 24_7_posting —A LiveJournal community under the same umbrella as ProAnorexia. It's mostly filled with wannarexics and college kids who think they are the shit, when really they're all mocked on communities they didn't know existed.
- Life Beyond EDs—A LiveJournal recovery community run by the scrawniest, gayest, eating disordered transvestite on the net, Johnnysboysriot. Johnny frequently uses kittens, rainbow brite, and sparkles in his saccharine-sweet motivationals.
- AnorexicQueen—A LiveJournal community known for having at least 98% wanna-anas making up its membership. Not very active any more, closed membership and posting.
There are pro-ana websites all across the Internets; they are easily found by searching for "pro-ana" or "no1 undrstandz me :'(" or "purging tips pls 911!!!" The LiveJournal community of the same name, pro_ana, is one of the most prolific.
pro_ana is mostly populated by impressionable girls between the ages of 13 and 18, with the occasional "ana boi" prancing in to show off his femi-hipbones (there used to be an older crowd, but they are now in graves).
After numerous trollings, including the notorious and yet-unsolved Sansgras incident, the community and its many spinoffs have become pretty much closed to new members. Often new members must post applications, like in rating communities. New members may be rejected on the basis of too high a BMI, fauxlimia, or having a "cliché" thinspiration such as Mary-Kate Olsen. Much like rating communities, an "accepted" or "rejected" image macro is then bestowed upon the applicant.
proanorexia has become rather popular on LiveJournal lately. It's history with maintainers is quite tragic. It was occasionally moderated by a laxative bulimic and crack addict with a criminal record for beating the shit out of her own mother until mid-to-late 2006, when it was transferred to Kristi4, who then committed suicide on January 27th, 2007 after finding herself unable to deal with the sheer volume of nitwits. The moderator of the bulimia acceptance community then accused Kristi4 of making the whole thing up without bothering to do any checking that would require her to actually get out of a chair to dial anyone on the phone, resulting in great drama. LJ passed on teh boss hat to Kristi's good friend, Josie, who tried to moderate but resulted in fail. It was then when DYLAN begged to take over. Dylan was named the new maintainer and all anAz worshipped him. He created his own community dylans_corner to tell anaZ how to better kill themselves. He then quit his job in order to help the poor unfortunate aNaZ, opened a suicide hotline, and become teh AnAz God. He then began charging money for membership to PA under his "Help a Girl Get Better" scheme (major failz!). All at the blooming age of 59! Creepy? dylandetective thought so too. They worked to get info on the pedophile. After his handy double agent moderator justtryingtofly told him they were on to him, he continued moderating under a new account, sarjmarteen, and refusing to answer any questions as to where Dylan went, who this new maintainer was, and the fate of their poor AnAz LJ lives. In April 2009, dylandetective trolled both ProAnorexia and 24_7_posting, and finally interrogated "Lauren" (500+ comments AND they got a nose, an ear and a lip ;)). That was the last we heard of Lauren, Sarjmarteen, or our dear Dylan. Enough information gathered, the authorities were notified and Dylan was imprisoned. The community is currently being moderated by superwoman (fighting2win) who is trying to tend for those who's posts are not eaten by unicorns or those who create cotton candy bracelets as a means to connect to the sites colours.
Some argue that anorexia and bulimia are the results of a fear of fat people. However, LiveJournal and California both have large populations of both fatasses and anas. Anas are as much to be avoided IRL as BBWs, since both give off pungent stenches of sweat and vomit, both grow hair on their backs, and both are likely to have massive heart failure and die on you at any time. When not vomiting, asking for purging tips or being catatonic, anas like to spend their time trolling celebrity blogs like that of well-known fatty Perez Hilton as they are butthurt by their own inability to eat.
Numerous trolling sites exist, one of the best being LiveJournal's Ana 4 avril. There are also sites dedicated to bash these ANAAZ, such as lol_anaz but they're really just Pro Anas in denial and fail just as hard if not harder than the ANAAAAAAAAZ.
Other Pro-Ana
A small movement of people who like the name Ana and an even smaller movement of poor spellers who are fans of Anna Kournikova.
Trolling Ana
Pro-anas on YouTube with thinspiration videos are ridiculously easy to troll.
"Reefshadow- "Eat a fucking hamburger for god's sake, or just kill yourself outright. Be an hero."
" Akilileala- "fuck you. you shallow bastard I'm sick of hearing shit that ppl like you give pro ana's and pro mia's. Its not your place to insult someones view and ideals. If you want a hero so bad do somthing postive with you life instead of wasting you time insulting ppl that have more will power and strength you'll ever have you fucking prick."
"Akilileala- "I want everyone to be happy with themselves. Whatever it is that makes them happy do it! "Do what you will, and harm none"... some ppl take that advice unlike ppl like you. Pathetic..."
"Reefshadow- "Yes, by all means do what you think is best. Starve yourself and puke until your throat ruptures, your period ceases and your BMI is 2%. Awesome! You won't be able to walk 100 yards but you'll look SO good trying! You have the support of AkiliLeila! She WANTS you to do it!"
"Akilileala- "Vapid bitch. Can't you just see that ppl are just voicing there feelings?! Why must you bring them down on how they feel? You wouldn't like it if someone told you that you should kill your self for somthing you care deeply about. Its just wrong. you have no conscience and your mother raised you HORRIBLY! Both of you fuck yourself and get a life."
"Reefshadow- "Yes, because it is so socially important to "care deeply" about outward appearance. Pro ana and mias define "vapid" by their very existence. "do what you will, and harm none" -that's a fucking laugh, considering these choices KILL, and do untold damage to families and loved ones.Fuck off with your "Whaaaa, support every addiction I can think up" and like I said, eat a fucking hamburger. You're a fucking emo, aren't you? Well cry a sad tear emo, right after you puke up your lunch."
No reply yet, or probably evar. Troll an Ana today for great justice!
THE BIBLE SAYS YOU ONLY NEED 600 CALORIES A FORTNIGHT, I'M TOTALLY CEREAL YOU GUISE
"And the Lord said to Abraham, 'Give me all your kine.' And Abraham said, 'But I like my kine.' And the Lord said, 'But you don't need your kine. You have a whole field full of kine. That's a lot of kine. C'mon man, I thought you were cool.' And Abraham said, 'But Lord, my kine are what I use to feed me and my family. Without all this kine, we'll surely die.' But the Lord said, 'You foolish, foolish Abraham. Everyone knows that nobody needs that much kine. The average person only needs like 600 calories worth of kine every two-weeks, and a glass or two of water. And maybe a lobster bib for decoration.' And Abraham rejoiced, and was happy, and so too the Lord, but Sarah was not because she'd just had another miscarriage due to severe anemia."
