Pro-ED is a huge controversy nowadays. This site is not pro-ED, but it's noticeably comparible to those kinds of websites. I encourage weightloss, not eating disorders. In a sense it's easy to think this is a pro-ed site because I myself have one, but it's not! You see, I do not encourage eating disorders AT ALL. People who are pro-ed do. I would never want another human being to have to deal with this unbearable self-hatred and depression. This website just encourages WEIGHTLOSS and WEIGHTLOSS ONLY. Whether people with EDs go here, or people who just want to get healthy, I made this site so it can work for all kinds of people. Of course it's basically geared towards girls, but men are definately accepted and encouraged to join this community! I don't care if you're pro-ana or pro-mia. We're all different. I just want everyone to be satisfied with their bodies and love themselves, and losing weight is a big step for many people, myself included. Stay strong and get skinny!
If you've looked at the "Going Too Far" page, you'll probably think I'm sort of a hypocrate. I've had bulimia for about 2 years now. I don't talk about it much with my friends but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Most bulimics are actually known to maintain their weight, or actually be overweight. It affects your weight in much different ways than anorexia. I'll fast, sometimes entire weeks if I can, and then once I stop I end up binging and purging. I'll purge even when i don't binge. I usually eat a light breakfast, no lunch, and then I purge dinner because I'm almost in a way forced to eat it because I'm a teen and still with my parents. I want this blog to be the cold hard truth of how having this ED has affected my life. I'll try to tell you guys everything. I know many of you can relate and I just really want this to be a nice down-to-earth environment for all of you girls. Hope you guys enjoy the ramblings of a psychotic bitch!!
