WHAT WE ARE:

A support group for those suffering from Anorexia Nervosa and their loved ones. Members share stories, and offer advice and support to other members. If you are dealing with anorexia, which is a lifelong disorder, please share your experiences with us, as this is a place where everyone is welcome, and all embarrassment and shame is cast aside. (This is NOT a Pro-Ana Group).


WHAT WE ARE NOT:

This is not a place to support the practice of disordered eating. Again, this is NOT a "Pro-Ana" Group. Do not come here looking for tips, tricks, or advice on how to lose weight, exercise, become anorexic or bulimic, restrict, purge, or anything which may be considered against Yahoo's terms of use policy, or more specifically-- anything which is unethical to promote.


RULES FOR A HEALTHY, SUPPORTIVE GROUP:

* Please refrain from focusing on weight, BMI, calories, or any other numbers. It's quite easy to say, "Hi, my name is ___ and I'm underweight," rather than "I weigh x lbs and my BMI is x."

* Please do not ask for tips, tricks, "ana-buddies," "thinspiration," links to "pro-ana" websites, or other topics which we cannot ethically talk about on our community. Please understand, we do not encourage people to become anorexic or bulimic.

* If you break one of these rules, you will be warned, and your post may be edited.
