    You're not alone. I think people have to build up their "visibility" and get to know others on here little by little.

    My guess is its because you're pro-ana and have a pro-ana screen name.

    I am not pro ana. Nor support that group. My screen name is motivational to myself so that I will be in the right mind set. If you think thin you wont make the bad health choices like fast food, soda, processed food. Nor any of my posts so far have had to be with anorexia it has simply been with exercise questions and saying who I am. Thank you for judging me. I appreciate it.

    I had to google 'pro-ana'. It makes me very sad as a mother of 3 girls that at the young age of 19 you are pro-ana. :(

    Edited to add: I do hope that being here will give you the support and encouragement you need to change your thoughts towards promoting any kind of eating disorder.

    2 minutes ago you were on your profile.

    I think you need to not take it personally when your posts don't always get lots of replies. Sometimes as new people I think we ask the same questions that have probably been asked a lot so people get sick of answering them, or they may not know the answers either. Search your questions in the message boards - they may have already been answered. :)

    I assume so, lots of people are welcoming but i see people with these millions of replies then theres me with nothing. Lol. I do not want to be a winer but i was wondering if they were being even posted. I do not take it personally at all I understand if people do not want to reply. But i was wondering if anyone was out there. Haha.

    I read it in black and white on your profile before you edited it. It said "I am pro-ana." As I said before, I hope that these forums will help and support you in any way that you need.

    Added: in regards to the responses, maybe the forums are slower on the weekends. Everyone seems to be very helpful around here. I'm sure more people will post soon. :)

    Hmmm, seems like you are playing games with us....your profile stated (5 mins ago before you edited it): "I am pro Ana".
    Pretty hard to misinterpret that.

    But, back to your original question, there's two likely reasons why you don't get replies
    - the question gets pushed down the "recent" list pretty fast if it is a busy time of day. Maybe it just got missed.
    - maybe people don't agree with your approach and are choosing to "not say anything at all" rather than being confrontational. I haven't seen any of your previous posts but if they are in fact pro-Ana you won't find much support here.

    But, if you have questions about getting and staying healthy, please post them again on this thread - I'll definitely answer if it is a genuine question.

    I did edit my profile. Do to reasons of my concern. I am not pro ana. I would never support something so harmful to the human body.

    IMHO it would be better to be honest and just admit that you edited it for whatever reason. As you can see, others saw it as well. I do hope that you stick around, choose honesty and hopefully get help if you need it. I have seen many success stories (in the success stories section) from girls on here who have recovered from eating disorders. They are truly inspiring!

    I saw your profile before you changed it, and it said you were pro ana, it also said you were doing the skinny girl diet, and your calories are set at 800 a day. A lot of people on here don't respond to pro ana/mia people purely because it's not healthy whatsoever.
  • Pebble321
    Pebble321 Posts: 6,423 Member
    This is not an attack - a number of us observed that you changed your profile and your story, that's a fact.
    I'm very happy to hear that you aren't pro-ana, i would never wish a mental health issue on anyone and find it hard to believe that people can aspire to such a thing.

    Getting back on topic - what questions do you have, you have the attention of a number of members now, maybe we can help?

    That's great. You wrote above "I may have that disorder." It seems that you are confused (on being proana/not being proana... possibly having an eating disorder/or not) which is perfectly fine. I just wanted you to know (since being a new member, you possibly didn't know) that if you are struggling in any way, there is a lot of support here. That's all. I was trying to be kind. I was not attacking you and apologize if it sounded that way.

    I see people do reply and see my posts. I am not pro-ana. I may have a low cal diet. But that is doctor approved for the mean time of these weeks. I consult my doctor for my diet due to health issues. Non eating disorder related...My profile never said that I do not see where you are getting this from. But to make it clear i am not changing story. I am stating a FACT. I am NOT i repeat NOT pro ana. I hope I made myself clear. Thank you.

    I am simply stating that.... I do not not been diagnosed and that was a bit sarcastic. I may i have a eating disorder I do not know but all my diet choices have gone through a doctor and been approved do to other health issues.

    We have helped keep your thread bumped to the top, so you should get a lot of responses. :)

    I saw earlier you didn't get a response about how many calories you burn walking on a treadmill while holding dumbbells in various positions.... while I don't know the exact number of calories, I think if you use the calories burned in the exercise section using your walking speed, it will give you a pretty good guesstimate. :)

    Yah I kinda decided i would use weight lifting in that. i am not sure if it was walking cramps still though or the weights that made my abs hurt,

    If you DON't have an eating disorder, why then does it appear that your daily calorie goal intake is 500 calories? And why then are you burning 250+ calories?

    Just curious what you consider an eating disorder as well?

    My doctor has approved the diet I am doing for medical reasons. It is not a mental disorder nor am I obsessed with loosing weight. I am not overweight right now. i am trying to get toned. Also this diet is also so I will not have further more serious health concerns.

    If your core is weak, I could see how holding the weights in various positions could make your abs sore. :)

    I have been working it it is not toned at all yet! I guess you can say it is I assumed that because I have not been getting cramps lately.

    I'm sorry, but no Doctor would put someone that is not overweight, that is just trying to tone on a 500 calorie diet. NO DOCTOR!! He would tell you to increase your protein intake, cardio, and focus on lifting weights.
