Another Anorexia Thread

I've noticed that there have been a lot of new threads about anorexia lately, so I figured I'd add some pictures too (It's also my first thread in quite a while, so I didn't want to start with anything too gorey). I know that a few of these pictures have been floating around the web for a while, but a lot were new to me.

A couple of days ago, I came across a website promoting anorexia (http://pro-thinspo.com.p12.hostingprod.com/) and the idea that the only reason you should be healthy is so you can be thin. They had a lot of "inspirational" pictures, many of which are displayed here.

Something that has been a more recent thing is the idea of "pregorexia," which is intentional starvation during pregnancy.

About the pics:
The picture with the 2 women (one in a white and pink spotted dress and the other in just a pink dress) is of a set of twins who have always been in competition with each other. They are both doctors and when they were younger, they made a pact that neither would gain weight.

The picture with the woman and girl who are both wearing the same dresses is of a mother and her daughter. The 26-year-old mother weighs less than her 7-year-old daughter and fits into her clothes. She says: "Wearing the same clothes as Maisy gives me a sense of pride. It's wrong, but it makes me feel good. I don't think I'm thin - I always see myself as bigger." The mother eats only soup and energy drinks while encouraging her daughter to eat cupcakes and chocolate.

I know the picture of the extremely thin woman who is holding her tank-top tighter behind her back has been out there for a while. She would go on 12-hour walks every day. The woman in the black dress is of the same woman after she recovered.

The picture with the woman in the white panties bending over is seen underneath that picture holding her baby. She recovered from anorexia in order to get pregnant and have her child.
