According to our poll, four percent of our members are diagnosed with an eating disorder. Because of our growing community, MahouShounenGoat has requested that I post a link to Through the Looking Glass, an eating disorder support Guild.

Also, since those with eating disorders are currently a minority in our Guild, I invite you to reply here if you or someone you know has been affected by an eating disorder. Perhaps you could tell us a little bit about the process of diagnosis and treatment. I would also like to bring up the subject of the "pro-ana lifestyle" that seems to have appeared online in recent years. How do you feel about the movement and its members?

My friend, who is in this guild, has an eating disorder. I won't say too much as I don't really know if she'd want me to talk about her.

Pro-ana is sick. The words make me want smash something. It's promoting a desiese caused by unhappiness, that creates further unhappiness, and is potentially fatal. gonk

Pro-ana sites are often confused with support sites, sadly. By support sites I mean places where people with the same eating disorder can talk to each other and know the other person understands, since so many others don't. They can be helpful, I would think, and I don't see anything immoral about sites like that.
