a term most commonly seen on Ed twitter and occasionally on tumblr and tiktok, usually people between the ages of 14-23 encouraging others to starve themselves using meanspo and thinspo.
many of them have never been in the overweight bmi range, and some even start already underweight, those who do commonly shame others for their SW (starting weight) even if they are far below said SW
A lot of these people self identify as "fatphobic and proud" ( fat is usually anyone over a bmi of 18)
Pro ana idealologys have been in media since the 1980s (probably even before) and became popular in the early 2000s, which is why most definitions of proana on this site made before 2017 will have positive undertones about the whole "movement", and those that paint it in a more negative light, will have a negative like to dislike ratio.
Pro ana has picked up again in the last year with the popularity of the "coquette" and "y2k" aesthetics, and models such as bella hadid (who allegedly had a ed tumblr account a while back) and kate moss
however, the meaning of pro-ana can range from raiding the profiles of those who arent thin enough and "harassing" them (i use this term lightly as its never really that bad and doesn't happen often) to simply complaining about the struggles that anorexia can cause and getting support and sympathy from others who can relate, or simply just posting food/outfit polls to take peoples mind of things.

a red beaded bracelet that is worn by anorexics who are proud of their eating disorder. It is a symbol known by almost all anorexics. An anorexic can easily identify another one if they are wearing this bracelet. The pro-ana bracelet is also worn by anorexics as a constant reminder to always stay strong and avoid eating.
Girl 1: Maria looks too skinny. I didn't see her eat anything except a carrot stick for lunch. I wonder if she has an eating disorder.
Girl 2: Obviously Maria has anorexia and is proud of it, she is wearing a red beaded pro-ana bracelet.

A pro-ana board that claims to be pro-suppport. But in reality supports fasts, has thinspiration and tips and tricks now defined as meeting yourself halfway.
It is run by mainly whiny, emo girls between the ages of 16-21 who cry about life and how their parents don't understand, oh how nobody knows about their eating disorders or rather imagined eating disorders.
Recently they have been featured in Faces of Pro-ana
Which created a wave of furor on another board Mama Vision where the members of CB showed their true colours.
Pro Ana: Cerulean Butterfly is Pro-Reality not Pro-Ana.
Their Reality:
Drinking large quanities of water before bed will make you pee out fat in the morning.

An underground online movement of websites and social media supporting those with "disordered eating".
It's often characterized by its use of mantras and affirmations (e.g. "skip dinner, wake up thinner"), fasting (non-intermittent), religious symbolism, laxatives/purging, thin imagery ("thinspo"), and obese imagery ("fatspo") as reverse-inspiration.
It differs from normal "dieting" methods (calorie counting, exercise, intermittent fasting, etc.) by its inclusion and acceptance of people with mental health issues who are typically excluded from normal diet and fasting communities. Pro-ana is instead usually motivated by an intense fear of obesity (as opposed to a desire for weight loss), strong morality values on food and weight, and a desire to support others irrespective of a desire to recover.
A definition of Pro-Ana meaning "pro-anorexia" (or the promotion of anorexia) is often superimposed onto members of the pro-ana community who almost universally reject that characterization.
Pro-ana is associated with the heroin chic, coquette, waif, and Y2K aesthetics of supermodels like Kate Moss ("nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"), Jodie Kidd, and celebrities like Mary-Kate Olsen and Angelina Jolie ("Quod me nutrit, me destruit" - what nourishes me, destroys me).
I caught this one girl at the school library surfing a lot of pro-ana websites back in the day for thinspo and diet tips, but the sites are all banned now.
"A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips" was a common mantra found on early-2000s pro-ana websites and many 2012-era pro-ana Tumblr accounts often added this as a caption to pictures of waif-thin fashion models as motivation.
