Oh my, it’s been a while. I have a lot of catching up to do.

In the meantime, someone pointed out this site to me:

[http://home.talkcity.com/InspirationAv/dietpepsi\_uhhuh/main.html](http://home.talkcity.com/InspirationAv/dietpepsi_uhhuh/main.html)

I’m familiar with anorexia, both professionally and personally, but this sort of thing makes my head explode!

Is this for real? Has anyone else heard of pro-anorexia before?

There are a bunch of pro-anorexia sites if you just look hard enough. I had a site on my favourites list that linked to a bunch of them; however, it isn’t working right now so I can’t link to it. I believe there are a bunch of message boards on Yahoo that are pro-ana.
