In middle school, I was the worst and most offensive pro ana moron out there. I tried all sorts of diets and tricks, I sat in ice baths until my legs turned completely white, I looked and posted thinspo, to “motivate me” If you saw someone like this on tumblr now you’d tell them that they were a sick pro ana monster who promotes a horrible mental illness HOW DARE I? I did though, I was. For years, since I associated thinness with some sort of transcendence, I wanted to be anorexic. I wanted that control. In the 8th grade, something changed.

That means a lot dear. It definitely is an issue, any kind of eating disorder behaviour is a bad thing. It doesn’t matter if you just do it every once and a while, it is not something you should ever want to do, or actually do. Please please get help. You deserve better than this. Please talk to a parent, or a friend, or someone in your life. Reach out and start to make a change. Please.-Emma

My wife has a long history of eating disorders, and I’ve been with her since 1997, so I’ve watched her face some real struggles over 18 years. I’m happy that she’s been in recovery for a long time now, and so proud of the way she’s helped build platforms like this one that have reached so many people. But even though I’ve seen her difficulties with food firsthand, I always had to listen to her verbalize those feelings and try to sympathize. That all changed when I took my first trip to China. I make documentaries for a living, and was excited that I got assigned to a project that would take me to southern China, in Guangdong province. You can read all about the amazing experience here. A
