My name is Dan.  My alias is Danorexia. I prefer either or both.  As you know I am a practicing anorexic.  Im not ashamed, and I don't care if other anorexic's dont like me because I proclaim it openly.  I speak of those who consider me weak to let others know my secret.  I say, "Are you strong enough to come out and face the others with the truth?"  Of course I understand that some people cant speak out because of parents or other loved ones that would take action.  In that case, continue to hide it.  Im not one to tell other ana's how to live, I am one to tell others who speak bad about us to get a life.  We are descriminated against.  When is the last time you saw a smoker website shut down, or an alcoholic beverage website shut down?  We choose to be who we are.  Leave us alone!
