La comunidad de mujeres jóvenes con blogs « pro-ana » siguiendo combate via internet cambian sus métodos de adelgazamiento. Sus blogs emocionaron la opinión pública, provocando la promulgación de una ley en abril del 2008. Veremos que esos blogs aunque inciten a la delgadez no son tanto creados por mujeres jóvenes cachexicas como por personas instaladas anoréxicas y bulémicas que producen blogs « pro-ana ». Ellas quisieran ayuda con el fin de rechazar sus crisis de bulemia y ser también reconocidas como formando parte de la comunidad.

WINDELS MARIE : THE PRO-ANA BLOGGERS. INTERNET IDEOLOGISTS OF BEING THIN
A community of young women, known as the pro-ana bloggers, uses the Internet as a forum to exchange their methods of losing weight and to share details of their personal war against food. Their blogs stirred a wave of public sympathy which culminated, in April 2008, with the passing of a new law. We will see that the blogs, while certainly created with the goal of encouraging low weight, are written not so much from the point of view of the young women suffering from cachexia, but of the persons committed to anorexia/bulimia. Through their pro-ana blogging activity they are asking, firstly, for support to fight off the bulimic episodes, and, secondly, for recognition that they belong to a community.
