Hello my fellow ana’s on the blogosphere,
Today I thought I would share with you some of my favorite quotes to keep me strong. Hope it helps!
Giving in to food shows weakness, be strong, and you’ll be better than everyone else

You are telling people to kill themselves slowly. You are telling people to ignore the biological mechanisms of self-preservation in favour of ego and self-image. What you are telling people to do isn't healthy.
Thin isn't beautiful when you struggle for breath after a brisk walk. Thin isn't beautiful when you shave years off your life. Thin isn't beautiful when you're anemic, brittle-boned, and suffering various nutritional deficiencies. This isn't beautiful when you look into the mirror and see yourself as disgustingly fat when your ribs are clearly visible and you fight off fainting spells during the day from skipping meals. That is decidedly the opposite of being proud or respectful of your body.
There's nothing wrong at all with wanting to be healthy but self-harming extremes like this are as far from healthy as you can possibly get. You're destroying your body and your mind with that mantra. That is not even in the same universe as healthy. You aren't considering what's best for yourself at all and that frankly breaks my heart.
Your true enemy is compulsion. You thought it was compulsive eating but you've flipped it on your head and now it is compulsive self-criticism and self-harm. There's a difference between denying a craving or indulgence and ignoring actual hunger. There's a difference between saying no to snacks or seconds and skipping a meal entirely. There's a difference between weighing your intake against your output with balanced portioning and psychologically associating any meal and enjoyment thereof with failure and disgust. There's a major difference between healthy and thin and that difference isn't measured at the waistline or even in terms of pure physical well-being.
There's beauty in strength... not in this.
Please talk to your family doctor or a nutritionist.
This is genuinely horrible, and this person is terrible, not because of (her?) choice of
eating habits but that she's also trying to "help" people follow in that pattern however
If it tastes good, it’s trying to kill you
That just made me laugh. This level of paranoia is completely absurd.
"When you resist the pain of hunger, it means your not a slave of your body"....
You are indeed a slave of your body and mind. If you'd stop that anorexic stuff and learn to LIVE instead of worrying constantly about food, you might be able to devote a little time to learning spelling and punctuation, among other things.
Yeah, this reads like a Troll/Poe to me. Anorexics generally perceive themselves as fat and this shows a clear awareness otherwise.
If it's real this person needs serious help.
Thanks but us adults don`t need to religiously fuck our bodies over to look good, hell just yesterday I had myself half a bucket of tiramisu ice cream! No punishing necessary if you can just follow reasonable guidelines and stick to 1k at the end of the day. Like a grown up, you see...
Or you could exercise. Seriously, maybe you could just replace the fat with muscle. Lift a few weights, jog, just.... stop starving yourself.
Good way to promote anorexia.
Bones define who we really are! Let them show!
Gag. Sorry, but I prefer a woman with some meat on her bones, not one who looks like a Holocaust survivor.
I had a look at the blog...
Chilling. I work in healthcare and I've seen kids who were so emaciated they looked like they would drop over any moment... and we had to watch them like hawks or they'd exercise and hide food rather than eating. They'd burst into tears if they ate, convinced they were going to get fat from half a chicken breast.
The banner at the top says she doesn't encourage unhealthy lifestyles... that's so wrong. She and other pro ana sites are promoting a deadly disease. They need help.
This is what mental illness looks like, kids.
I'll stick to killing myself slowly with alcohol, thanks. At least I get to enjoy my life before it ends.
And to think, all of this starts because someone is shamed into thinking they need to lose weight to have any self worth.
I feel even less guilty for eating a few extra milk chocolate nonpareils after lunch now. I'd rather be indulging in chocolate that stressing over calories.
Starve to death, you skinny bitch.
@The Crimson Ghost
Dude... not something to wish on anyone. While I support making stupidity, hate, etc. painful, even lethal in some cases (looking at the rape apologists/promoters), telling someone with a self-destructive mental illness to let that illness kill them ... it's the sort of thing fundies do. I'd like to think there were SOME lines...
That said,
@SpukiKitty
I really, really hope that isn't the case. If these sorts are sociopaths encouraging ill people to worsen their potentially fatal condition, some beatings are most assuredly in order.
As I believe in benefit of the doubt, I'll assume this person is really anorexic.
Thin is not the same as anorexic-looking. The former can be attractive, though it isn't necessary, at least by my standards. The latter is not attractive. Ever. Allow me to demonstrate, with examples that can easily be Googled:
Ellen Page: Thin. EXTREMELY attractive.
Mary Kate Olsen: Anorexic-looking. Not attractive at all.
Note how these are my standards, and maybe the latter doesn't actually look anorexic. My vision sucks, and I know one anorexic, and he's the "compulsive exerciser" variety, so he isn't skeletal.
Why not just exercise like the human body was built to and eat whatever the hell you want? You stay thin, look good, and most importantly FEEL GOOD. You shouldn't have to live life full of doubt and fear and stress over what you eat when for an able-bodied person the solution is right there in front of you. Hell, you don't even have to be able-bodied, look at the Paralympics.
@Azereaux--I am no dude. As such, I'm probably more familiar with the pressure to be skinny than you are. This little bitch is actually encouraging others to starve themselves to match her definitions of beauty, & I'm all outta sympathy.
Fuck this repulsive little twat. Maybe when she passes out in class she'll come to her senses.
@ The Crimson Ghost
No, she won't come to her senses when she passes out. This death cult of a group has "helpful" tips about what to do to make excuses for the highly visible effects of malnutrition including sudden fainting spells and isolating themselves socially to hide the absolute horror of what they're doing to their bodies to say nothing of what unspeakable
I'm not kidding when I say this breaks my heart. I have no idea how to help these poor people, they just ignore anyone trying to reach out to them. They are right in front of me - a mere text message away - but I can't do one goddamned thing for them. I'm fucking powerless to do one solitary bit of good and am reduced to helplessly screaming into the ether.
This hurts. More than trying to suppress some truly disturbing designs of violence against the "Philosophers" of being worthless rapists undeserving of life this just hurts.
I can do nothing... not even make a terrible mistake.
@ Passerby-I agree, it is sad. But you simply can't those who don't want to be helped. If someone chooses to starve themselves, let them. The fact that she's encouraging others to do so is what sticks in my craw. Let the skinny little moron wither away to nothing; it's her choice. But fuck her for spreading the notion that emaciated equals beauty. Perhaps when she drops dead some of the others may see what they've become. Sorry, still outta sympathy.
I have an anorexic cousin. She nearly died twice over. She'll never be able to reproduce, and will likely die years ahead of her time.
I don't normally swear in the comments, but fuck you and everybody like you. With a knife.
As somebody with a disordered eating pattern for now 20 years starting at age 14 , I'd like to tell you to go fuck yourself . I don't even have hunger pains anymore , I eat once a day because I have to , I'm not thin (really , normal BMI) but I will never be able to just enjoy a meal . I circle through fat and skinny phases , currently I'm on a chocolate binge which only means it's literally an apple a day next week and not because I want to but because I feel I have to or I magically gain 50 lbs a day .
Obviously most of you commenting have no idea. Sometimes people choose ana and they can never get away, then for some they choose it as a lifestyle or something they want and it's hard but you have to respect that. I support ana as i know what its like. So if there is anyone reading this that wants help but is also able to help myself then contact me on kik
Picture a beautiful sun-warmed ripe heirloom tomato. Take a bite - you know you want to. It's not trying to kill you. (Unless you're allergic) Now lift your eyes up from the read-out on your scale. See the sunshine? See that world out there? See all those people out there who don't give a rat's ass about how much you weigh, and are willing to give you the acceptance you won't give yourself? Please try to make your life mean something.

>Not realising that I'm poking fun at the one who is promoting this so-called 'lifestyle': the OP. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been quoted in the first place, as what they quoted wouldn't have been considered [I]fundie[/I] *, and therefore worthy of savage satire. The whole point of FSTDT
Jumping to conclusions. That's not cool.
*- There's an extremely good reason why that quote in particular was featured in the FSTDT section of TV Tropes: the [b]Nightmare Fuel[/b] part, specifically.
Better take it up with the Tropesters, if you consider that supposedly 'Un cool'. Better take it up with the one who submitted this quote in the first place as well. Then with the staff of this site who deemed it worthy of inclusion. Then with the admin, Distind.
Comparing what happened to Vietnam veterans with something that is self -inflicted? Better ask John McCain about the concept of ana logies, before you jump to conclusions again: into an extremely deep hole of your own FAIL.
Who's the un cool one now? Not I...!
Welp, this is stupid, you're quotes don't make people strong, they kill people, you are murdering 100s right now not even knowing. You are very dissapointing to the community and i actully hope you die someday and learn what you should'nt do. You're not beautiful, you're ugly and desprate. being too thin kills you and don't listen to her. She's obviously mental and needs serious help. All those teens out there, just eat a balanced diet and run like a lap each day at the park. Being an ana is rly bad, hope this helps
Pro-Ana
More like 'Pro-Anal '.
You're talking out of your arse!
Now get a couple of pies in yer!
Did you see any of the cross-country skiers/biathletes in Pyeongchang looking fat? And their calorie intake is huge (3,500 a day, minimum): they [I]have[/I] to .
Ultra -fit are they.

I am afraid to click the link suffice to say I hope that site was shut down
Done, and done.
As is that - now fortunately non existent - s(h)ite.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
