It’s tough to feel okay about yourself if you’re living in a house that’s cluttered with magazines whose covers sport celebs who would make even Ana herself feel overweight.
But is a thinspiration-free home really possible?
Though I think it would be difficult to completely rid your residence of anything that could be considered thinspiration, my guess […]
Welcome and Happy May Day!

Just when you thought eating disorders were cut-and-dry… I’ve come up with a little glossary of Ana-Speak to help you understand the lingo of this dangerous world that entices so many people.
Ana for Smarties (because I’m not going to call you dumb!)
Ana - anorexia or anorexic, also used as kind of an anorexic icon or ”muse”
B&P - […]
I must say that I rarely felt “sexy” when I was anorexic. Maybe late at night when I was checking out my hip bones in the mirror, but other than that, I usually felt that I was still too far from my “goal weight” to feel super attractive.

It’s an article aimed at the British market discussing the need to close (or at least “closely monitor”) pro-ana websites, such as those on Facebook and MySpace.
Obviously, this website isn’t going to be the target of such shut-downs. We’re not pro-ana […]
I don’t think it’s any secret that “thinspiration” or “thinspo” vids are all over YouTube these days. I actually came across tons of them while posting videos for the “Sticks and Stones Project”.
What strikes me is the time and energy the thinspo videographers have obviously spent putting together their presentations. Some are truly intriguing, not for […]
It’s that time of the year again… New Year’s Resolutions are everywhere.
Generally speaking, I think it’s fabulous to make plans for the coming 12 months. I typically do it, and I usually stick with most (if not all) of them. Of course, I make my resolutions measurable and reasonable, so that helps.
However, weight loss has […]
