+  ![](/img/1*InoUKW3PFjCejf3nhYQJ_Q.jpeg)So somehow — And I really don’t know how — I ended up on a ‘pro-ana’ forum just now.
+
+‘pro-ana’, for those who haven’t yet had to find out, is the promotion of anorexia as something healthy.
+
+**What. The. Fuck?!**
+
+Now, I’m not anorexic. I have body image problems — doesn’t everyone. Not to the point of an eating disorder. But I have known — closely — several people who have struggled with that.
+
+So I think I’m valid in saying the existence of anything ‘pro’ anorexia is flat out dangerous. Some of the stuff I read within a few minutes shocked and scared me. Positivity and encouragement towards people purging meals and fasting. Towards people being lightheaded from lack of calories.
+
+These are people at their most vulnerable. Already battling their own minds and just waiting for them are…
+
+Mutual support groups to help each other dive deeper into illness. More to the point, to reframe their illness as something positive.
+
+I don’t know why I’m bothering to explain myself here. Anyone with half a brain would have been going ‘what the fuck’ along with me at the definition of the word.
+
+Anyone who isn’t? To them I say…**What the fuck?**
+
+So I don’t really have a point here. But I had to write this anyway. I just cannot fathom the existence of such a movement, and the harm it must cause.
+
+I just… What is *wrong* with people? *What is wrong with the world?*
