• We Bite Back.  "Have thinspiration pictures lost all appeal? Maybe you just want them to lose their grip on you. Maybe you are starting to feel like you're growing out of this eating disorder thing, or at least you want to learn how...? Find bulimic behavior returning like a bad habit? You might find a verbal purge helps you deal with the seed of the problem that motivates your disordered eating habits. Ever wonder what it would be like to finally work on not punishing yourself for punishing yourself?
  
  Stop shaming yourself for seeking support on eating disorder forums, and instead improve your outlook. You have found a truly unique eating disorder forum, made especially for those exiting proana boards and communities. We've got our wits, and we can take control of our lives by making better choices for ourselves. Choice is powerful. With anorexic behavior, you feel in control initially by starving yourself - then you lose your control to your eating disorder. The thing that you use to feel in control ultimately controls you, and on this site, we are trying to regain control in a frank and honest way. We try to keep a positive outlook, because recovery is a trust game with your body.
  
  Recovery is a process, a journey - not a destination. This is not like anorexia with goal weights, and some marker that says you are "there". We believe that recovery takes a series of many choices... and you need simply be choosing each moment to be a little better to yourself. Don't rush. Allow yourself to have as much time to get out of this thing as it took you to get into it. Allow yourself a moment to suppose that maybe you can still have a tight group of online friends without destroying yourself. Help yourself and you can help your friends. It's as easy and as hard as that."

• Running on Empty: A Diary of Anorexia and Recovery.  "When I first began my recovery from anorexia in 2002, I longed for a resource that would simultaneously give me hope and let me express my raging torrent of emotions. I wanted a book that didn't mince words, yet still made me feel there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I never quite found what I was looking for, though in my search I have read every book on eating disorders I could get my hands on. Into this gap between self-expression and self-help falls Running on Empty: A Diary of Anorexia and Recovery. I am here to help lead you out of the hell of an eating disorder by sharing my own struggles and, ultimately, my triumphs."
