a term most commonly seen on Ed twitter and occasionally on tumblr and tiktok, usually people between the ages of 14-23 encouraging others to starve themselves using meanspo and thinspo.
many of them have never been in the overweight bmi range, and some even start already underweight, those who do commonly shame others for their SW (starting weight) even if they are far below said SW
A lot of these people self identify as "fatphobic and proud" ( fat is usually anyone over a bmi of 18)
Pro ana idealologys have been in media since the 1980s (probably even before) and became popular in the early 2000s, which is why most definitions of proana on this site made before 2017 will have positive undertones about the whole "movement", and those that paint it in a more negative light, will have a negative like to dislike ratio.
Pro ana has picked up again in the last year with the popularity of the "coquette" and "y2k" aesthetics, and models such as bella hadid (who allegedly had a ed tumblr account a while back) and kate moss
however, the meaning of pro-ana can range from raiding the profiles of those who arent thin enough and "harassing" them (i use this term lightly as its never really that bad and doesn't happen often) to simply complaining about the struggles that anorexia can cause and getting support and sympathy from others who can relate, or simply just posting food/outfit polls to take peoples mind of things.

a red beaded bracelet that is worn by anorexics who are proud of their eating disorder. It is a symbol known by almost all anorexics. An anorexic can easily identify another one if they are wearing this bracelet. The pro-ana bracelet is also worn by anorexics as a constant reminder to always stay strong and avoid eating.
Girl 1: Maria looks too skinny. I didn't see her eat anything except a carrot stick for lunch. I wonder if she has an eating disorder.
Girl 2: Obviously Maria has anorexia and is proud of it, she is wearing a red beaded pro-ana bracelet.

A chatroom dedicated to those with eating disorders, but is full of liars and petty drama. the users mock those who are suicidal and struggling. there are a large number of bullies.

A pro-ana board that claims to be pro-suppport. But in reality supports fasts, has thinspiration and tips and tricks now defined as meeting yourself halfway.
It is run by mainly whiny, emo girls between the ages of 16-21 who cry about life and how their parents don't understand, oh how nobody knows about their eating disorders or rather imagined eating disorders.
Recently they have been featured in Faces of Pro-ana
Which created a wave of furor on another board Mama Vision where the members of CB showed their true colours.
