I only wish this were a joke.
On the web, there are underground programs and “schools” (loosely defined) of pro-ana and pro-mia supporters that, in essence, claim to help and support the anorexic, bulimic or EDNOS sufferer who does not want to get better.
Yes, these “thinstitutes” (my word) of ana/mia education are available. And many of them […]
I admit it. I’m no longer a geek, at least not a techno one. (Book smart, tech so-so.) How do I know this? I just recently found out about “Second Life“, the virtual 3D “world” where people can do just about anything they want — buy islands (using “linden”, the currency in “Second Life”), have […]
In a rather unsurprising announcement, Ashlee Simpson has admited that she ONCE had an eating disorder.
That’s once upon a time, people.
Long time ago.
Way long.
She doesn’t have it now.

As I’ve mentioned at this blog before, if the Internet had been around when I was in junior high and high school, I probably would have gladly been into the whole “pro-ana”, thinspiration scene. In fact, I think I would have modeled my behavior to “fit in” with the pro-ana crowd.
Today, I find the pro-ana […]
For many people, religion is comforting; for others, it’s suffocating. For me, it’s somewhere in between.
Though my recovery (or path to it) was not precipitated nor assisted by spirituality, I can see where it might be helpful for some anorexics, bulimics and/or binge eaters.
In my mind, I imagine that a church or religious community could […]
