Someone who feels that
anorexia or bulimia, even sometimes ednos, is glamorous and would be desirable. They try to make themselves have an eating disorder, by starving and making themselves throw up, and ultimately failing. These wannarexics normally only last a few weeks at most with their behaviors.
It is also used by many anorexics, bulimics and
people with ednos because they feel they are not pleasing Ana,
Mia and Essie. They feel too fat to have an eating disorder.
A lot of wannarexic boys and girls showed up on myproana after the movie Starving In Suburbia was released onto
youtube. There were forums posted everyday that were titled, "New ana! Comment your tips!" and all their users were dealing with
butterfly, which is part of the main character's username to her proana site. They were all very young, but JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS YOUNG does not
mean THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EATING DISORDER.
Wannarexica is basically when a young girl or boy with low self esteem find proana sites and watch eating disorder awareness movies and songs and want to be thin. It's also when a person who is diagnosed with the eating disorder feels
nobody notices because they are 'too fat'.
When someone has literal wannarexica just wants an
ed because it seems glamorous and they wanna be thin.
(1)"I am
108 pounds looking to lose 5 pounds quick! Please teach me your ways, I'd kill to have a body like yours."
"I've recently decided to let Ana into my life to show me the
right way to live: being
happy and getting thin! Ana coach, anyone? I need some tips, I'm just a beginner."

When somebody diagnosed with an eating disorder has wannarexica, they feel like they are not thin enough to have an eating disorder.

"The reason
nobody notices I'm skipping meals is because I'm too fat to be anorexic."
