my site is located at http://www.ceruleanbutterfly.com

if you would like to hear more about my stance on pro-ana sites, you can watch the interview i did with KTVU news here: http://www.ktvu.com/video/3901698/detail.html i think the interview came off a little biased toward the anti-pro-ana side, but hopefully i made at least a small point.

hmmmm.... well on one side I sooo envy those who actually have the will power and the control it must take to not eat..or to enduce vomitting after they do eat... I just can't even imagine it personally..and I know it has GOT to be one massively huge mental challenge. One that I seriously can't even relate to as I'm on the other end of the spectrum completely! I love my food! I'm weak and rarely can control myself when it comes to the delicous foods out there...*mutters*

One thing that cought my attention here though is the bracelettes...that is the coolest idea!! Does any of the diet and health groups out there have this sort of insentive deal? If not I think they should! What better way to keep the whole idea foremost in one's mind then to wear it at all times right on their wrist...

wow...I love that idea!

Eating disorders are so incredibly painful. I am a recovering bulimic, so I know what it's like. I decided to seek treatment because the bulimia wasn't "working" anymore for me. It was hard to hide all that behavior from my loved ones. Once I got into a serious relationship with the man who I will be marrying in 6 days, I realized that I couldn't isolate myself forever. Some of the best help I received was from pro-ana/pro-bulimia RECOVERY sites, where a lot of people who were still struggling could vent, share experiences, etc. I still have issues with some foods. I have what I call "safe food", which is what I know I can eat that won't make me fat. But I have managed to slim down (being bulimic doesn't make you thin, FYI) and avoid being constantly bloated and I've stopped making myself puke after eating fattening foods. I am now at a healthy weight, and I've got to force myself to tell myself I'm not too heavy at this weight. As far as Fat Acceptance sites and Pro-Ana sites, I don't think either one is particularly helpful for treating either condition. I think there should be more websites that promote healthy body image and good health, as well as healthy relationships with food.

Spectra I have to agree with you. And congratulations too!! I support the recovery sites but not sites that promote being anorexic as a form of weight control. I HIGHLY recommend the book Runaway Eating for any woman to read. It is susposed to be geaered to woman over 30 but even teenagers can benefit from it. I have a review for it in one of my articles. There is a nice excerpt from the book there and also, one of the authors checks the forums regularly. She is a dietician so if anyone has any questions for her, start a new thread with the subject Hey Nadine or something like that. She is a super nice woman! I think I will have another contest soon because I still have 2 copies of the book sitting on my shelf at home.
