We are a group of people with eating disorders online. We WILL NEVER cater to the media outlets and LET THEM DECIDE WHAT WE ARE OR LABEL US. We know our label: PRO ANA. That DOES NOT MEAN that we are pro anorexic or wanarexic or any variation of those terms. WE CHOOSE NOT TO RECOVER. Our reasons are our own.

The momentum behind this initiative reflects a shared commitment to defining our own experiences rather than accepting external labels. I appreciate the resolve demonstrated by everyone who has joined this effort to protect our community identity.
