Things you should know about anorexia

Although this ia disclaimer, it is not here to protect myself against legal battles that I may face bacsue of such a site. It's really here to tell you what most of those that have selected this life style already know.

Anorexia may be, and often is, harmful to your health. The lifestyle can lead to health problems that can be irreversible. Those of us that have chosen the ana lifestyle are often more knowledgable about nutrition than the average person. So we know the importance of proteins just as much as vitamins and minerals in the diet. Those that have chosen mia know the risks of esphogial damage from first hand experience. This lifestyle is not healthy...no one said it is. But that is not the point of this lifestyle. This is not something we have chosen because we want to be healthy. We have been thinspired to be beautiful, and this is what we find to be beautiful.

The lifestyle is no different than any other. It is chosen so that we can be who we want to be; to be who we know we are. This was not selected for health, nor selected to please others.

This does not mean that we feel it is the best lifestyle....we feel that it is ours.

You should never be persuaded to live any lifestyle that isn't you, including this one. Your choices are your own, and you should not make this one just because you like the pictures or words here on this site. I would actually tell you not to select this lifestyle. Anorexia os a tough decision to make, and one that could cause you to die sooner than you would with many other lifestyles.

Be yourself...
