Moms and Dads (and Spouses, Too): Start Reading the Pro-Ana Sites NOW
Please don’t be an ostrich if you’re a parent.
What’s an ostrich? It’s someone who sticks his or her head in the sand and pretends that things aren’t going on when they most definitely are.
This attitude is what allows so many eating disorders to go undetected by the people who live with anorexics and bulimics.
I recommend that all parents check out pro-ana sites on a regular basis. If you do, you’ll begin to see comments like the following:
“It’s very easy to get out of drinking that Instant Breakfast in the morning. I’ll just keeping bringing it up to my room to ‘drink’, and at that point all I need to do is pour that liquid weight down the sink drain.”
“It’s so interesting actually how my skill for lieing (sic) has developed into a talent of improve (sic) acting. all thanks to hiding my dear friend ana…”
“I can’t wait until July… I’m gonna start my new restriction diet… I let people talk me out of it before, this time I won’t be swayed… And I have to be on my toes because my husband is sssoooo nosey (sic)…”
“so far i haven’t eaten anything. I applied for some pro-ana communities & hopefully it won’t be long until i get in.”
“I am depressed and even looking at journals kept by pro-mia and pro-ana girls with the contiuing (sic) of the pictures… I just want that f-king desired weight and size already.”
Please, open your eyes.
This is real.
This is pro-ana.
And this is not going away.
