AboutPeople who suffer from eating disorders struggle both emotionally and physically on a daily basis. Many suffer in silence and have no real support system due to the secretive nature of EDs. This is NOT a pro- or anti-ED community, a "thinspo" community, or an "OMG i need 2 loose 20 pnds b4 sprng brk pls hlp me b ana!!1!!111!!!" community. The purpose of this community is to provide SUPPORT for people who struggle with an eating disorder, no matter what that eating disorder may be.
This community is for you if you:
-Are at least 16 years old.
-Already have an eating disorder, and/or have been invited by a mod.
-Are looking for support, and are willing to offer support in return.
-Are sick of all the "ana/mia" BS that seems to be taking over many ED communities.
-Understand and are willing to follow the rules listed below.
Please do not attempt to join if you:
-Are under the age of 16.
-Cannot or will not type like an intelligent human being.
-Do not already have an eating disorder.
-Are looking for tips on how to "be ana/mia".
-Are not willing to follow the rules listed below.
********************************************************************************
There are a few simple but important rules to follow if you want to be a member of this community:
1. The terms "Ana" and "Mia" are not allowed. If you break this rule once you will be warned, break it again and you will be banned.
2. There are plenty of thinspo communities on LJ; however, this is not one of them. Please do not ask for or post thinspo here.
3. Posting "reverse thinspo" will result in your immediate removal from this community. Consider this your one and only warning.
4. You may post pictures of yourself, but there are a few conditions you must follow. Absolutely no nudity is allowed. All pictures must be posted behind a Livejournal cut, and any pictures that are not work safe must be labeled as such. If you are under 18 years of age, you must be fully clothed in all pictures (meaning do not post pictures of yourself in a bikini or in your underwear).
5. Do not ask for or give out "tips or tricks". Doing so will get you banned.
6. Things that *must* be placed behind an LJ cut: pictures, food logs, explicit talk of drug use or sexual activity, and graphic talk of self-injury.
7. Please use proper spelling and grammar. Typos happen, and the occasional abbreviation is understandable, but there is no reason why your post should look like it was typed by a mentally challenged toddler.
8. RESPECT. This is probably the most important rule. Treat all members with respect and courtesy- as most of us were told as children: "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all."
9. This ties in with the whole "respect" rule, but I want to make sure this is clear: rudeness will not be tolerated. The following behaviors can get you banned with no warning: calling another member fat, ugly, etc; harassing/disrespecting another member based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, etc; attacking another member for personal choices such as drug and alcohol use, sexual activity or inactivity, or any other behaviors you may not approve of. It's okay to have an opinion and it's okay to state that opinion, but please do so in a tactful and respectful manner.
10. Do not promote any other communities unless you have obtained permission from a mod. Also, please do not promote this community anywhere but in your own personal journal. I would like to keep trolls and wannas to a minimum in here, and if you promote this community my job will become that much harder.
11. No eating disorder is better or worse than another, and everyone who has an eating disorder is struggling, regardless of weight. Please keep these things in mind when posting and commenting- elitism will not be tolerated.
12. Do not encourage dangerous behavior.
13. Google is a wonderful thing. Please do not ask members to tell you how many calories there are in an apple- you can easily find that out on your own.
14. Please make all posts friends only.
15. In addition to the rules specific to this community, please read and follow Livejournal's Terms of Service.
Failure to adhere to any of the above rules will result in either a warning or your immediate removal from this community. Mods reserve the right to remove any member at any time.
