I'm pro-Ana but I don't want to make myself a skelleton.

1. Stop being "pro-ana"
2. Seek therapy.
3. Eating well and proper exercise makes you look good. Starving yourself makes you look unhealthy and ugly.

if I don't stop eating I eat to much

You need to reach a normal weight - you can eat a normal amount of food, too, you just need to believe in yourself.

Stay away from pro-ana triggers, and stop proclaiming yourself to be pro-ana. Pro-ana behaviour encourages people to keep maintaining negative behaviours, which will cause serious long term physical and psychological effects.

If you want to reach a normal weight, research healthy eating habits and exercise well. By cutting down on fatty foods like chocolate and junk foods, and increase your intake of fruit and veg.

You can reach your ideal weight in a healthy way!

I am a male. I look at thin girls and I see nothing interesting. I like looking at girls with a litle to grab at. Why would girls want to be so skinny? I really would ask you not to do this. Nice healthy looking girls are the best nicest looking and the thin and ultra thin are not at all.

You don't need to emaciate your body. You need to emaciate your ego.

What do you say to people who think you are silly, vain and shallow? I think that you are vain and shallow. Explain to everyone why I am wrong.

There are people who really have Anorexia Nervousa and they suffer. You pro ana girls are an insult to them.

Grow up!

I find this interesting. Was just browsing this forum section. Seems like some people have eating problems because of apparence worries?.
I dont know why people like to be a certain size. Should just be happy with what you were given. Knowone is perfect or can be perfect.
Once apon a time I allways wished I look like others. Wanted to be the best looking and have big musles and toned like my mate cause he got all the chicks.
Then I pictured it, and common sense kicked in, and I thought...why would I want that. I would get so irritated if everywhere I went people were staring at me. Image that, everytime to look at someone they are looking at you.
Thats like a evil curse to me and invading my privacy. Some people might like it but I decided in the end im better to just be myself. As long as im healthy thats all its about am im happy.
I dont think people should go through life worring what they look like or who they want to look like or what they want to look like.

Also, what people need to understand is its not all food thats doing this. All these people not eating because they think in puts on weight.
Eating fruit and vegetables and fish and seafood, things like that does not make people gain weight. I dont know where people get that idea from. The body uses good vitamins and minerals to balance, not to store as fat.
So if you worried about your weaight, eat as much fruit and vegetables as you want. It wont do anything to your weight. You gotta eat. Dont starve yourselves. Food is good.

Also, think of some people in the world who are dying from starvation and dont even get the chance to eat. They dont get the choice. Dont be selfish to yourself and others.

Skinny, slim, or big doesnt mean healthy. What you eat and how you live is healthy.

I will tell you why some pro-ana girls look healthy and why some look like skeletons:

The healthy looking ones haven't been for so long on an inexistent diet. They were probably really fat, stopped eating and now they look thin but not ugly. It will take them some weeks/months to look like skeletons.

Well, in fact not all anorexic look like skeletons. When you don't eat, your body might react by swelling. Ever seen the picture of some African kids? Skinny arms, skinny legs, skinny face, giant belly. Kwashiorkor syndrome, it is. It affect mostly kids, but might happen to adults.

Please, reconsider your choice of not eating. When you don't eat, you die from starvation. It's sure as hell. Your skin becomes horrible, your hair gets ugly. Until your body can process the fat you have, you would just face a general cachexia. Then your body, craving nourishment, will destroy muscles. Once the muscles are gone, you can curl up and die because it's over. There are a finite number of muscular cells, so you will never get back to being healthy again.

Your body gets so debilitated by anorexia, that you will stop menstruating. Sounds good to you? Well, think again. That means your body recognizes being so worn out that it's a miracle if you are surviving.

You will also have poor looking breasts. They will get smaller in size, and look as if you were old.

Stop being silly. Eat well. Some fat is highly desirable on girls. Girls are made to look soft and squishy. To have the curvy figure that is considered beautiful, you need to have some fat on you.
