wanarexic

A term used by genuine sufferers of anorexia to describe someone who thinks anorexia is a lifestyle, and not a disease. Typical wanarexic behaviour can include:

1. Posting on pro-ana sites in places like LiveJournal about how they want to "become ana" to drop a few pounds for prom.

2. Referring to anorexia as a person or, in even more bizarre cases, a deity. The term "ana", when once a useful shortening, has been taken over by wanarexics to demonstrate their "devotion" to this "lifestyle".

3. Posting "thinspiration" pictures of skinny models and celebrities, and idolizing Mary-Kate Olsen, who reportedly suffers from anorexia.

4. The overall, unshaking belief that anorexia is a cool diet that will make you thin, popular and loved by all, and consequently a complete lack of comprehension as to the truth - that anorexia is a complex, crippling mental disease that can cause appalling long-term health complications, including brittle bones, chronic halitosis, lanugo (fur-like hair that covers the body to help keep it warm when there is not enough body fat to do the job), stomach ulcers, hair loss and loss of eyesight. And that's to say nothing of the psychological effects.

A similar term exists for people who fake bulimia: fauxlemic.

"ZOMG godezz aNa is soooo good 2 me, she helpd me loose 2 more pounds 4 prom!"

"dun call me a wanarexic or goddez aNar will zap j00 with her fat ray!"

wannarexia

A term given to the "condition" girls who WANT to have anorexia really have. They'll promote their "eating disorder" and tell everyone how little they've eaten and talk about how fat they think they are, whereas someone who actually has anorexia nervosa wouldn't promote this fact at all. What these wannarexic girls don't realize is that you can't force yourself to be anorexic, and if they truly knew how dark and lonely having anorexia is, they wouldn't wish it upon their worst enemies. They're really only doing it for attention, which is an issue in itself.

Priscilla just told me she had a carrot stick for dinner. She totally has wannarexia.

wanarexic

One who wishes to become anorexic. Generally a young female under 13 years of age who believes anorexia nervosa is a lifestyle choice rather than a mental illness. Often she makes an active decision to "start ana" in order to drop a few pounds. She may engage in anorexic behaviors such as self-starvation, but the root of her dieting is not the same as one who genuinely suffers from an eating disorder. Her desire to become anorexic may fade when she sees the true consequences... or when she sees a shiny object.

That girl wouldn't be such a wanarexic if she knew how painful eating disorders really are.

wannarexia

1. An imaginary disease most commonly found amongst preteen to teenage, overweight, females whom claim to have the eating disorder anorexia, but they do not meet the criteria. In fact, they do not have an eating disorder at all. Most wannarexic people feel that anorexia is a "quick fix" to lose weight and that it is glamorous.

I was reading this girl's xanga and she TOTALLY has wannarexia. She recorded a food log and she admitted to eating 3 large mushroom pizzas, a super sized order of french fries, 12 hamburgers, 14 cheesesteaks, 7 pounds of animal fat, and 35 chocolate bars. And that was just her breakfast!
