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.

Get the Pro Boober mug.A form of benevolent sexism in which a boss offers sex to an employee in exchange for work-related benefits, such as a pay raise or promotion, but instead places 50 or more crows in the employee’s office the next day.
Person 1: “Did you hear that ‘Beckie’ in HR found 50 crows in her office on Monday morning?”
Person 2: “Oh no that’s terrible!”
Person 1: “Absolutely! I think ‘Mark’ offered her sex in exchange for a raise.”
Person 2: “Oh my! He tricked her with quid pro crow!”

Get the Quid pro crow mug.Where a service is provided on its face pro bono (without payment), but the length of time spent and the complexity of the service means it is likely there is a quid pro quo settlement of the debt occurring somewhere quietly in the background.
The lawyers were acting for the defendant pro bono, but people suspected that it was actually a quid pro bono arrangement as there was no way the lawyer would work for that guilty defendant for free for so long.
