| I would say that I personally don't fit into a particular ED category...I am mostly Mia; I do have days/weeks of Ana; occasionally I eat what would be classed as "normal" meals, although I do have extreme feelings of guilt afterwards; and sometimes I COE with no purging. So all in all my eating habits are pretty messed up and have no fixed pattern. I wish they did. Paradoxically, although I feel extrememly fat, truthfully I do know that I am not fat compared to the average person. This knowledge doesn't stop me from wanting thin. I want no fat. I want to feel light. I want to be able to wear anything and look fantastic in it. I want to be able to dance and not care what I look like. I wish I were beautiful-maybe this is vain but I don't know. I don't know how I can be considered vain when I hate my appearance. Who knows. |
| Once again, Ana is NOT a diet. It is NOT a solution to your problems. If it's not a problem for you now, don't let it be. |
| Ana To me, Ana is much more of a mindset than anything else. I have read countless times that anorexia can be defined as "a refusal to maintain body weight within 15% of an individual's normal weight". In the eyes of these medical/mental health practitioners, we only become Ana when we are so underweight that it is putting our physical health in jeopardy. I know of people who are even slightly overweight/normal weight whos attitudes to weight and food are much more Ana than some majorly skinny girls who aren't Ana. "You don't become Ana and then the next day wake up to find your body has miraculously metamorphosed into a body to rival the skinnies cat-walk model, you have to start somewhere" |
