Ew ew ew. I just set up a poetry journal on greatestjournal, and on the main page they had, in amongst the latest posts, a pro-anorexia and bulimia community. I'm just... gah. ew. Girls who listed their target weight as "0 pounds," who said they had eating disorders because they want to be dead, one girl who listed Paris Hilton as her "thinspiration," and... gah. ew. It's this twisted Bizarro World version of a support group, where they congratulate each other for relapsing, and give tips on how to throw up and hide the signs of ketosis.

I feel dirty now. Though I do feel much better about my (few, and teensy in comparison) body-image issues. All I want for Hanukah are some stomach muscles and a non-bony ass.

Your URL is broken, Holli.

I went and looked, and there were big bare titties on the front page.

How nice.

You keep working on the stomach muscles.

They have krav where you are?

Ack! sorry, ita. Link's fixed now, and does not appear to lead to porn in any way.

No, we don't have krav. I was thinking of sit-ups. Lots of them.

I think it was the "most recently" thing.

I'd rather the porn than the weight=0 thing, all told.

My daughter is very pleased to have found the Livejournal pro-scurvy group. They compete to see who has lost the most teeth, hope to be the most piratical before prom, and inveigh against the horrors of orange juice.

Laughter is the best offense.
