I tried to make a dent in the sub-culture pro-anorexia in Instagram. But until you stop telling girls society thin is beautiful, it is a losing battle

do a quick search on Instagram and find a lot of "thinspiration" material, usually in the form of images that glorify extreme thinness of models and celebrities.

thynspo hashtags like #, # ana (for anorexia), # mia (for bulimia) and gay # (code-mutilation) abound. From here you can find thousands of pictures of bloody wrists and thighs, messages of despair and cries for help, and pictures of women who are too thin for most focus on the coast apparent concave stomachs empty, thighs and hips and neck protruding bones.

Perhaps more worrying are pro-anorexic quotes interspersed between images, such as "Do this for the hollow of the thigh", "Skip dinner weigh thinner", "1 = 10 as squats "," not reward yourself with food, you're a dog, "and the password more frequently published infamous quote from Kate Moss:" Nothing tastes as good as thin feels "

Community Support

these self-destructive diseases is reminiscent of the first wave of pro-ana virtual communities at the end of 1990, although the nature of a social network service based on random image means that friendships are more likely to occur with the hashtags, and focusing on images that ratifies dangerously erroneous assumption that only skinny women are beautiful. It thinstagrammers photo-blog their daily frustrations and struggles, and comments on other tables to encourage fasting. Recovery accounts appear sometimes too, usually slightly advise people to ask for help.

The first time you scroll through the photos, my instinctive reaction disgust. The idea that users are tagging Instagram photos that promote the obsession with thinness as a lifestyle rather than a mental illness, I am furious. I've never had an eating disorder, but I know that diseases such as anorexia nervosa are widely accepted as containing a genetic component, many studies have also indicated the impact of sociocultural factors (pressure peer relationship problems, sexual abuse and the ideal type of beauty that prevails in Western culture) that people become trigger eating disorders.

These attempts were not intended to be dismissive of mental illness that I did not raise the ire of people with anorexia or bulimia, but allow users to finding that these hashtags reconsider their travel habits. I thought everyone does not seek a thinspiration eating disorder. Some of those who may be on the verge of recovery relapse, while others have not (yet) can be slow and obsessed with her weight and diet tips curious thinspiration, put themselves in danger.

"thinspo" has largely been shown to cause adverse effects on non-messy food. A study published in the European Journal of Eating Disorders found that college women with no history of eating disorders who visited pro-ana websites Web reduced their caloric intake during the following weeks, half of they did not know they were doing. By posting a reactionary wave images that promote body acceptance, while the negation of the beliefs of lawyers ana, I was hoping to make a difference.

much earlier received comments thanking me and asking me to keep posting. "Please keep this account." M through a eating disorder and I fight so hard, but I pulled down a lot and I'm still trying to overcome. My screen is one of your images and helps me so much given, "wrote one follower. lot of users who are identified with ana mia or in their biographies began to follow me, and I started to follow some of them also provide support when he could. Unfortunately, due to the huge amount of published images thinspiration Instagram all day was impossible for me to really dent the subculture thinstagram.
