Your Definition
A newly recognized trend among girls and young women who view their anorexia or food restriction as a choice and/or a lifestyle, and not as a disease. Often abbreviated as "pro-ana". Many websites and [YouTube videos] advocating the pro-anorexia lifestyle and encouraging solidarity amongst anorexics have been springing up recently, causing concern to health [professionals] and parents who fear that children might be easily influenced to "become anorexic" by them. There is a similar pro-bulimia movement which is often lumped together with the anorexic community, called "pro-mia" or "pro-ana/mia". Some websites are directed at providing support and friendship for all [eating disorder] sufferers in general (including overeating), or people who engage in self-harming behaviours such as cutting. Most of these websites claim to provide support only, and not encouragement to start or maintain an eating disorder.
