ProAna Information
There's a lot of information - and misinformation - about ProAna floating around on the internet. Here are some accurate, no-nonsense sources from different points of view. If you know of a good link to add, please let me know.
Neutral POV:
Solidarity in the Proana Community by AssociatedContent.com. A well researched article that covers all bases. A good place to start if you know little about it.
Pro-Ana: Web-log Uses and Gratifications: Towards Understanding the Pro-Anorexia Paradox by Dana G Mantella. An recent extremely well-documented thesis, citing specific research, about what exactly attracts people to ProAna. Clears many misconceptions.

Pro-Recovery POV:
WWW.Warning: Negative Internet Sites by Something Fishy. Discusses potential dangers with participating in ProAna websites.
Pro-anorexia Websites by the National Eating Disorder Information Centre. Focuses on those who treat ProAna as a "lifestyle", and so is not entirely accurate.

Pro-Ana POV:
What ProAna Means to Me by Yummy Secrets. My own take on ProAna.
What Is A Wanarexic by skinnyinthecity. An excellent description of the differences between ED-Pro-Ana and Lifestyle-Pro-Ana.
