its not like making people be anorexic or encouraging them, but its more like not agasint anorexia, like supporting them, instead of saying silly things that can make the initial problem worse. if you searched pro anorexia on Google, you would find many sites where not tips, but supportive ideas to help slowly get better or to make you in your mind feel better.
Proanorexia is an ideology which encourages those with disordered eating behaviors to continue developing their eating disorder. Obviously, exposure to such content is dangerous as it condones and fosters eating disorders.
"Ana" is an abbreviated or "slang" term for anorexia nervosa, which is the full medical name.
Anorexia is an eating disroder in which an individual starves themself nutritionally by eating insufficient amounts of food, calories, and / or nutrients and also excessively exercises in an extreme effort to lose weight.
pro ana actually... its the promotion of anorexia
It is usually just referred to as "anorexia" or, in slang-terms, "ana".
Ana Queen. (Obviously not) Doctors diagnosed it.
The definition of Pro-ana is someone who promotes the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. There are many pro-ana organizations who offer their support for anorexics.
Not really. For short, it is most commonly referred to as anorexia instead of its full name of anorexia nervosa. In slang terms (not medically recognized), it is referred to as "ana".
Hi there! The prefix "pro" means you are in favor of something (in this case, either "mia" or "ana"). "Mia" is short for bulimia, and "ana" is short for anorexia. Both bulimia and anorexia are serious eating disorders- Generally, bulimia is characterized with extreme over-eating (binge) and then purge via laxatives or vomitting. Anorexia on the other hand is characterized with extreme under-eating and the thought that they are fat when actually, are emaciated. Basically, the difference between pro-mia and pro-ana is that someone who is pro-mia is a supporter of bulimia and the latter is a supporter of anorexia.
An / Ana - 'without' Orexis 'appetite'
i dont knoe if they're considered "street names" but some people call Anorexia "Ana" and also call Bulimia "Mia".
I'm sorry, but WikiAnswers is a site dedicated to educating others. Promoting Pro-Anorexia, or "pro ana", websites (encouraging anorexia, a dangerous and often deadly eating disorder) would not be helpful, and WikiAnswers cannot do that. Thank you.
It is a nickname by anorexics for Anorexia Nervosa. They refer to Ana as having a personality and in a way it is like they are trying to say that 'she' is watching and making them do it because she makes them feel unworthy
This is a ridiculous question... anorexia is an eating disorder, it doesn't cause you to hear the name anna. Sometimes people say Ana, or proana instead of anorexia
Hun I'm sorry but considering anorexia leads to death I think this question is not suitable for WikiAnswers.
