Was pretty concerned today to discover that someone has taken a title from my novel to create what seems to be a pro-ana chat group.   I understand the need that people have to find others who truly understand them and support their struggles, but more and more evidence supports the concern that pro ana chatrooms and websites are doing more harm than good.  thinandbeautiful.com is intended as a story that exposes the potential dangers of pro-ana and pro-mia sites while emphasizing the serious nature of eating disorders.
