If I am to be perfectly honest with myself and with you (and why have it any other way), I have to admit that I know in my heart I would have been “pro ana” if we had Facebook, MySpace and the Internet in general in the 1980s.

I love the comments generated at Breaking the Mirror, so I’m going to start highlighting my favorite one each week.
The following comment comes from “RaisinGirl” in response to this post on pro-ana and pro-mia bracelets.

Breaking the Mirror is a pro-recovery blog. As such, I feel it fills the need to bring support, awareness and discussion among persons with and without eating disorders.
But there are many other blogs and forums that discuss anorexia, bulimia and ED-NOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified). Those I’d like to discuss today designate themselves as […]
Just a quick FYI… I’ve set up a new poll along the sidebar. The subject is about making yourself throw up, as I’m trying to see how many readers a) have made themselves vomit; and b) if so, how often they do it.
I encourage you to submit your answer. And if you’d like to see the […]
