reminds me of some photos I saw on www.prothinspo.com very skinny anorexic chicks, skinny is the new black unfortunetly
Okay, so some of those pictures up there are really...disturbing in a way.
But why the picture of Keira Knightley? She's the most gorgeous girl ever...definitely not anorexic!
Thats awful that some people feel the need to look like that.
That was a photo of Keira Knightly years ago, before she was way too thin. She was cute back then, and it's sad how she is now.
WHAT?! You mean anorexics can live to be 70! WTF i dont wanna live that long! Everyone heres telling me that im gonna die by 25, what the fucks up with this 72 year old anorexic woman o.0
I'm middle aged. I can see anorexia is no beauty tonic for older people from your pictures. Any middle ager wanting to do this to promote "youth" should see this site.
i'm pro ana, but many of those womans were way too skinny!
I'm not here to bash your attempts at making thinspiration more realistic, but I think you should reconsider the picture of the 72 year old with a leg ulcer - it's highly unlikely she has anorexia nervosa, more likely she has anorexia (the medical term) secondary to another condition, like cancer. Leaving that picture makes the impact of the other pictures, of women with anorexia nervosa, less powerful.
Nurse...you make a valid point; however, it comes down to what came first...the chicken or the egg.

like many girls, i have an eating disorder- anorexia and bulimia. i have been freaking out because i have been gaining weight. i am 5'4'' tall, large boned, 17yrs old, and currently weigh 102-104 pounds. i chew and spit all the time- 1000s of calories a day. i was looking on the computer for tips to get thin again, but after seeing these photos, i think i just got some inspiration to recover. i never want to look like some of these people, they aren't just skinny, they are scary- nightmare scary. omg, i never want to look that scary.

Thanks for much for commenting.
Your chewing and spitting worries me. It can be deadly. Please read this post...

Wishing you every success in recovering from your EDs...

I have a friend who has ED. She looked at a pro ana website, and despite the fact she says she's not going on it every again, I'm not sure. Some of those women are beautiful. But the old people ones disgust me. We'd both love to be as skinny as the woman in the first picture.
I don't really understand this site. Is this 'thinspiration' or trying to turn us off pro ana?
Anonymous, this is NOT a pro ana site. In fact, it is the opposite.
The pictures in this post are "before" and "after" (i.e. be careful what you wish for...you may be young and "ana" now but the older pictures are what you will look like if you continue starving yourself).
Please check out some of my other posts about dangers of EDs and pro ana.

Thank you so much for these pictures. I have troubles with eating as in I don't or I just throw it up. These pictures were just a fantastically shocking, hard-hitting reality of what I am doing to myself. I'm not saying you've cured me, because I don't know where I am at the moment, but I just wanted to let you know that you'd made a difference.
I think the really skinny pics are awful but think british size 4-6 is beautiful and will continue starving myself until i get there, altho i'm not far off it but having 3 children does not help your figure....trust me. any tips to stop me being hungry???
to start of with i reali need my own place so i havnt got my parents fucking things up for me telling me what i should eat i am such a fat bitch an im thinking of buying some fat burning pills, i have struggled with anorexia for years of my life an hospital has made me big 7 stone exact on a tube was no fun! i try to have less then 600 calories a day, im being discharged on the 9th of march so maybe i can lose some of the weight then, theres the stupid arguments here again all about food! ! help??
