I thought I'd give 'Pro-Ana' sites a look too see if there were still any accessible on Google .. and guess what I found http://www.43things.com/things/entries/834926?start_at=21 and http://community.livejournal.com/proanorexia/ ... when I read this, I was horrified at how many girls were righting in complaining about their weight, asking about fasting tips and saying that they were fat.
I would never be able to do what they are doing, I like food too much.
They all talk about the 2468 diet, I tried to look it up but every site re-directs me to forums where girls are talking about being on it. If any 1 looks it up and finds it let me know .. (don't worry i don't want to go on it)
The girls that are commenting are in such a mind set that they are continually telling themselves that they are fat and that no1 will ever like them because of their weight. They believe this completely, many of them talk about having friends trying to help them out but they say that they don't need the help cause they are doing the right thing however they ask each other for help cause they have 'constant hunger pains, or cravings'.
Reading these sites has given me a greater understanding of what a person with anorexia/bulimia thinks about and how they feel about their bodies. I believe this has helped me with 'Mirror, Mirror'.

Who would have thought. It really is suprising what people will do to "help" each other. Great idea to reasearch. I reckon you should try looking into statistics etc of instances. It is interesting stuff
I KNOW WHAT THE 2468 DIET IS!
It's basically something to keep your body from going into starvation mode, because when it does that it stockpiles more fat.
By varying the amount of calories you eat a day, your body doesn't think it is starving.
So you have 200 calories the first day, then 400, then 600 and 800. And then you go back to 200 again. It's still an insanely low amount to eat but it stops you from accumulating everything you eat as fat.
Did that help?
