Community Areas

Eating Disorder Forum - with nearly 1 million posts, this is by far the largest collection of interactions within a single eating disorder community. And that's after deleting nearly 4 years of history in 2010 to clear up some space. If you have questions about anorexia, bulimia, EDNOS, binge disorder, or any other form of eating disorder, this is the place to interact.

Eating Disorder Journal - thoughts, journal entries, musings, and expressions from members of the community. Ask questions or treat it like your own diary about your relationship with your ED.

Terms of Use
There are certain terms that are in place to protect you, me, members, and those using his site. The goal is not to prevent anyone from being sued but to prevent anyone from getting hurt, or from being involved in something that they didn't understand that they are a part of. This is a pretty standard (copy/paste) TOS which you would see on many sites.

At first we had to make a new homepage because of problems with our host. I then thought it would be nice to have a history and make new pages over time. Here are the archives of PrettyThin through the ages.

Pro Ana - the standards and what appeared on this site when it was first created years and years ago.

Ana Beauty - something written by the site creator many years ago. I am keeping it because it offers a perspective of an individual who is like many other members of PrettyThin. It is not a "right" way or a "wrong" way. It is just how one mind may think. Life is about understanding more than it is about trying to prove right and wrong.

Pro Ana and Me - what one member write about what Pro-Ana means to her. 

Thin Society - My critique of society and its way of defining beauty, and its obsession with being thin. This is not what PrettyThin is all about. It's just something to think about.

Pageant Girls - beauty pageants; just more food for thought.

Anorexia - what is it all about? Learn more about eating disorders

Recovery - a list of links and sites for those seeking recovery from their ED
