The picture is of Isabelle Caro, a French model who died at the age of 28 trying to recover from anorexia. She spent the later years of her life trying to promote health and campaign against anorexia, and wrote a book called, “The Girl Who Refused To Grow Fat”, an autobiography discussing the origins of her disease and her struggles to recover.
Pro-ana blogs need to be banned. It is not wrong to have a disorder, but it is wrong to help others become anorexic or bulimic, when they could otherwise live a normal life. It is normal to be self-conscious about one’s body, but these feelings have started to emerge in girls at a very young age. These girls deserve to enjoy their childhood. There’s no reason they should be so concerned about their bodies to the point of near death.
Promote health by reblogging this. We can help those already with the disease recover and prevent those who are at risk from getting it.
Let me be clear — I don’t think those with eating disorders or who talk openly about their disorders should be banned. I believe those who actively promote eating disorders and give out advice and tips on how to “learn” disordered behavior, however, should be.
Eating disorders have some of the highest death rates of any metal illness, and when you give someone the tools to mimic or even begin a disorder, you’re handing them a loaded gun. It’s not something that should be passively ignored. We need to take a stand.

Jumping jacks are an awesome cardiovascular exercise! They’re easy, so anyone can do them. They get the heart rate up pretty fast and are good for increasing cardiovascular health. Not to mention they pack a serious calorie burn! But doing only 100 at a time or 500 jumping jacks spread out throughout the day isn’t really helping you. The key is to sustain an elevated heart rate for an extended amount of time. So here’s a challenge I’ve come up with. Build your endurance until you can do 20min of jumping jacks (not including rest time). By the time you’re done, you will have killer calves! That’s a promise! Good luck and happy jumping!
