THE PEOPLE YESTERDAY HAD A HUGE ARTICLE ABOUT PRO ANA WEBSITES AND WAS CALLING FOR A BAN ON THEM AND STUFF
IT WAS SAYING ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT HOW BAD THEY WERE AND HOW PEOPLE WITH EDS/POTENTIAL EDS ARE AT RISK,IM SO GLAD "OTHER" PEOPLE (RATHER THAN JUST PEOPLE WITH AN ED)ARE STARTING TO TAKE NOTICE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM!
WHEN I WAS REALLY ILL I USED TO GO ON THEM!
I WOULD NEVER RECCOMMEND ANYONE TO THAT NOW!!!

Hey Kmw, I wrote you a private message about this article and it would be a great favor to me if you read it and got back to me when you have the time. I am aware of the serious epidemic of EDs in the UK and I believe I know someone that might be able to help this situation out. Thanks for posting the news and I hope to hear back from you. Take care!

i have been on them before, in a really low time, and all it does is make things worse. its about time someone recognized ed as just as much of an issue as obesity. it seems all the push has been about reducing obesity, reduce fat here, take out sodium there, this is only 100 cal, this is 0 cal water with nutrients so we can eat less, everything out there telling "us" (aka the general population) to lose weight. i wrote a report for my nutrition class last year on the documentary "superize me" and how it is articles like that, the ones that tell us to change and that we will never be skinny enough for society, but when we are we get just as negative attention, that makes this disease worse and increases the negative stigma surrounding it and other mental disorders. sorry, that felt really good to rant.

Yeah...I unfortuantely sitll go to them on occasion. The messages there just make ED worse and make it seem like an answer, but all it does is make you more obsesed...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
