| The Red Bracelet |
The Red Bracelet "IFOF is a term that means "identification friend or foe" most commonly used in the aircraft industry. It is a thing on an airplane that tells people reading the signal if they are a friend or foe. We now have a system of our own. I got this from another site: Have you ever wondered if the skinny girl you see has an ED (A or M)? And proud of it? You so desperately want to ask, or even try to make friends but are scared? Well, no more ... since we have our ribbon "Ana is a lifestyle..." and its red.
I propose that we all get a red beaded bracelet. You can make it or buy them. Wear it daily or when you go out to secretly say that you are proud to be pro-ana or proud to have an ED that is. Anytime you see someone wearing a red beaded bracelet, capture their eye contact and point to your bracelet, and if they return the same point to theirs ... then they are ED friendly. If not, then its just someone whom is wearing one.
As for those who are older and feel silly wearing a beaded bracelet, wear a red t-shirt every Monday or when you go out on Mondays.
Please pass this along to every proED clubs, forums, websites (secrets/public) for we need to be known widespread secretly amongst us. So, copy/paste everyone!!! "
I dont think i m proud to be have an ED, but i am going to make a bracelet to wear, just for the sense of commaderie.
So if you are walking along melbourne streets and see this red bracelet, say hi!

Reasons to be Thin
Anyone can have "inner beauty" but few can earn real beauty, inside as well as out.
1. You can wear anything, baggy clothes work on skinny people, but not small clothes on big people 2. I m tall, so i need to be even skinnier to compensate 3. You ll be hot and stop having self esteem issues 4. You can get a new wardrobe 5. Life will be different and even better once we reach our goal weight 6. You don't NEED food. 7. You can horse ride without killing the damm horse 8. You will know that you have willpower 9. Guys will be able to pick you up without struggling. 10. You'll be able to run faster without all that extra weight holding you back. 11. Parents and friends will be happier with the new you 12. People will remember you as "the beautiful thin one". 13. Guys will want to get to know you, not laugh at you and walk away. 14. Guys will stop using you to get to know your hot best friends 15. You will be able to see and feel your beautiful, beautiful bones. 16. Bones are clean and pure. Fat is dirty and hangs on your bones like a parasite. 17. Thin people have a better quality of life 18. Too many people in the world are obese. 19. Only fat people are attracted to fat people. Do you want pigs to like you because you are one of them. 20. If you slap a fat person you can see a shockwave ripple over their skin. That's disgusting. 21. Do you want people to say "for gods sake get off me you're crushing me!!!" or "you are sooo light" ??? 22. Starve off the parts you don't need. They're ugly and they drag you down. 23. Saying "no thanks" to food is saying "yes please" to THIN!!! 24. Fat people are so huge, yet people look away from them as if they don't exist. 25. Hunger is your friend and it won't betray you like food. 26. Food is mean and sneaky. It tricks you into eating it and it works on you from the inside out making you fat, bloated, ugly and unhappy. 27. Think of anorexia as your secret weapon. 28. If you can name one reason to be fat, I'll name a million and one to be thin. 29. Eating little to nothing saves you money! 30. You can control your body/weight and not the other way round 31. You wont have to feel ashamed in a bikini 32. You wont have to shy away from people because you dont want them to feel your fats 33. You wont have to put up with being teased anymore 34. Lets be honest, fat people never get any kind of good attention from strangers 35. If you do this, you can do almost any other thing you put your mind to. 36. Think of your favourite heroine or female lead in a timeless love story. Chances are, they are skinny and beautiful. Think Juliet, Antigone, Cleopatra and even Carmen. 37. Now think of the most popular girl in high school or in your circle of friends. I bet she s not fat!

You know what's really hot? A body covered in fine hair, but none on your head. Guys love mustaches. Also, disgusting teeth and yellow skin. Fat people can start running and look great. You can't reverse tooth loss and organ damage. These things and more are surely coming your way soon, enjoy!
-
.... want to be beautiful? It's called exercise. Have you ever seen a fat person who runs, say, 6 miles a day? No. Do they eat? Yes. Guys want girls with good hygiene. It is their natural instinct to go for women who are the picture of health. This does not just include being fit. It includes the whole package; the package you are destroying. The lead wolf of the pack will not mate with the straggling, sickly female.
Stop taking the easy way out. Not eating is lazy. Eating healthy and exercising takes discipline. You are destroying your chances of looking anything but laughable 10 years from now.
I am not an enemy, I'm a good person. You are hurting yourself and making yourself look like a fool.
My best friend is anorexic.
Nobody respects her.
Her mind is deteriorating.
Guys make fun of her.
Nobody will hire her.
SHE IS SAD ALL OF THE TIME.
And although she is the thinnest of her friends, she is hit-on the least.
Also... Her face is constantly broken out, She is tired, and sore, and bitter.

You list these things that will happen when you achieve your goal weight, but they won't. Do you know an anorexic girl whom has had all of these things come true? No.
But I do know anorexic girls who look awful, and their lives are falling apart. They even want to die. These fantasies you have of becoming happy and hot are not going to happen if you don't eat. You are going to create a chemical imbalance in your head.
The women who are telling you these things are sick. Just think about it... are they successful? Are they populat? Probably not.
Don't listen to a crazy person telling you not to eat. They can't prove anything good will happen. But doctors have proved that it will destroy you. Who are you going to believe, someone with a PHD or some crazy woman who is probably on speed?
Stop wasting your time obsessing over something so ridiculous.
Actresses eat, athletes eat, models eat, but they also exercise.
You can not be beautiful if you do not eat. Eventually, your body will give out and you will never look healthy again. Then your worst nightmare WILL come true. You will be mocked, made fun of, and shunned.

If you are just beginning to delve into anorexia, stop now!
If you are a veteran, shame on you for encouraging young girls!
Misery loves company, and that is why old women encourage young girls to not eat. They are only using them to feel normal.
How would you feel if all of your family and the guy you wanted to date and your friends knew what the red bracelet meant? Probably humiliated.
Anorexia is not a lifestyle.
It's not going to make you fit in. It's going to make you the laughing stock of your school, town, etc.
What you are doing is BIZARRE!
think about it...
a mustache,
deteriorating organs,
a deteriorating mind,
yellow skin,
thinning hair,
no teeth,
sadness.
Is it worth it?
Make a choice to live healthy.
Eat, exercise, rest, live.
You will be gorgeous and happy.
Do you really think you will be 80 years old and still doing this? It can't last.

Listen to me... I know what I'm talking about.
My best friend used to be beautiful before her eating disorder. Her body was gorgeous and guys loved her. She had beautiful curly hair and flawless skin. All of my guy friends wanted to date her. She has now had an eating disorder for about 6 years. She has definitely lost weight, probably past her goal weight... Did her dreams come true? NO. She has fine hair all over her face. Guys make fun of her "beard" behind her back. I've tried to set her up on blind dates and every guy got pissed! Her face is completely broken out. She has bags under her eyes. Her hair is thin and dull and damaged. Her teeth are yellow. And she is the most miserable human being I know. She succeeded at anorexia and won a life of misery. I look at pictures and cry thinking about how happy and beautiful she was before she had her eating disorder.
The funny thing about all of this... she wants to be like me.
All she can ever talk about is how amazing my body is, and how gorgeous I am, and how she wishes she could trade lives with me.
Honestly, what are you doing?
Do you really think you are going to become some fabulous human being when you lose 30 lbs?
Is your perception of reality already that screwed up?
ANOREXIA HAS NOT WORKED WELL FOR ANYONE I KNOW!
For the young girls... The older girls who are encouraging you are not good people. Their perception of reality is so incredibly skewed.
They are ignorant.
Ask any person who gives you advice if they are happy.
Ask them if they had a good day today.
A friend is someone who cares about your well being. think about some of the statements that are in this blog. EX: Anyone can have "inner beauty" but few can earn real beauty, inside as well as out
WHAT?! This passes off inner beauty as being unimportant. If you see outer beauty as more important than inner, you are probably worse than the catty bitches that gave you a problem to begin with. Do you really want to follow someone who judges people strictly on weight? If you call yourself a Christian- that's laughable! Would Christ approve of you turning up your nose at a heavy person? Would he approve of you pissing on his creation? And if you're not a Christian, this attitude is disgusting just the same. What kind of person thinks this way? Are you better than a heavy person? You're obviously not smarter. Would you be proud to stand up and publicly say, "fat people are disgusting."
This is all so unbelievably crazy!
I seriously can not believe how incredibly hurtful and selfish young girls have become. Not to mention, completely brainwashed.
What would you do without a computer? Who would you be able to tell? For any number of crazy things you can find support over the internet, but what about the real world?
Our lives are so short. What matters is our everyday relationships and our health.
These pro-ana "friends" are just an illusion. You are probably losing what really matters most.
Your organs are shutting down.
You are cutting your life short.
All you have to do is watch what you eat and get some exercise daily. Don't destroy your youth!
Not eating is a ridiculous notion! Would you listen to someone who told you to stop drinking water? or stop breathing? It is not possible to live well without food. It is not possible to look healthy without eating. It is not possible to be anorexic and healthy.
You are hurting yourself.
You are hurting others.
You are supporting unequal treatment of overweight people.
-
You are part of a cult, and those who are part of a cult rarely understand when they are out of control.
Think about Nazis. Think about the KU KLUX KLAN. They have plently of supporters, does that make them right?
Sure, you might say that anorexia is a far cry from Nazi Germany, but think about what you are supporting. You are trying to make yourself into the perfect human being. You are against anyone who is overweight,despite any other qualities they posses. And anyone who tries to help you or who disagrees is considered an enemy (even those closest to you). You support each other despite the fact that you don't even know one another. The person giving you advice could be a raving lunatic, living in a hotel. You do not question your sources or the information you are given. You are being brainwashed into thinking that you are right and everyone else is wrong.
...Maybe it's not such a far cry after all.
