Yep. Pro-ana sites are kind of big among a certain sort.

I discovered the existence of the pro-ana sites just today from a post on Facebook that Rochelle made. This part is especially scary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... "Pro-ana sites can negatively impact the eating behavior of people with and without eating disorders. One study of individuals without eating disorders demonstrated that 84% of participants decreased caloric intake by an average of 2,470 calories (301 min -7851 max) per week after viewing pro-ED websites. Only 56% of participants actually perceived the reduction in their intake. Three weeks after the experiment, 24% of participants reported continuing weight control strategies from pro-ana websites, though they did not continue to visit those sites. Controls viewing health and travel websites did not decrease caloric intake at a significant level. Other studies have found that women with varying levels of eating disorder symptomatology were more likely to engage in image comparison and exercise after viewing pro-ana websites versus control websites."

I've known of that movement for a couple years and still can't believe such a thing exists. How seriously fucked up the human brain can get...
