Safety update

Well, I ve looked around, and came to the conclusion that I can close the blog. But it is impossible to let everyone be able to read it.
So, I am not going to close it.

What I did change;
- All reactions have to be seen and approved by me before being published (did that two weeks ago)
- And if you want to react you must be a member from now.

When the forum goes online, I'm going to take the topics with email adresses and everything overthere, and delete them here. At the forum you have to become a member before you can come.in. So than we won't be bothered by anti's. And we can still come here to spill our  everythings. Cause they can't react anymore at the blog. First of all, no anti will become a member, and second, I read all messages before published.

So, its a little bit safer. But maybe its bettter to wait with posting email adresses online till we have the forum, or send your mail to me, and trust me to find a match buddy for you.
Just so you don't get stupid fat jealous bitches stalking you.

Inositol: The wonder vitamine!

Inositol is also very good to take for your hair and stuff, and for lots of other stuff. Just thought of that today.
Pretty stupid, since I've been using it for so long. But let me share my little secret with you....

Back in the days I had my share in drugbiz (not proud of it, and 100% sober now!) but we used that stuff to mix it up. And nowadays I still use it because sometimes I just need to...you know, the addiction.

Only the thing is, that Inositol a vitamin is, which is also produced by your body, under normal circumstances. And that's not the case for us.

But, to go short; Inositol is a part of vitamin B complex and this is what it does for you:

It works against hair loss and even against getting grey hair
It keeps your metabolism rolling, so no more ‘survival mode’ when you don’t eat.
It breaks down fats that cause high cholestrol and heart failure, the ‘these make you fat - fats’
It helps against depression
It can help against panic attacks and anxiety, it is tested on people with OCD. ( Now, let it be so that I have OCD, and now reading this and looking back….since I use Inositol I am a little bit more relaxed)
It helps against insomnia (would be great for those who binge at night!)
It can slow down, and maybe even prevent cancer

Actually, it brings your body in balance, it helps your liver to cope with chemicals, it helps your kidneys, and even more. So its also a very good supplement for those who vomit and take laxatives.

So why is this miraculous powder stuff not on your doctors prescriptions list?
Well, there hasn’t been enough research done, and there is a concern that the inositol may reduce the body’s ability to absorb zinc, calcium, and other essential minerals.

Where to buy? Just online, or at your local smart/head shop.
(I don’t know if everyone has that….that’s always a problem if you have a world wide blog. But there is always airmail!!)
And to be clear, this is not drugs! This is an element your body makes itself in low levels. But however, it needs food for that of which I'm sure most of us willl never eat (Like liver, eggs, and other fat things)

About binging and hairloss

A lot off questions were posted everywhere. The two questions I've seen most where about binging and how to deal with temptation, and what to do about hairloss, and all other negative effects.

Both are quite simple to answer for me.
About binging and temptation; this requires a lot of discipline:
Fill yourself up with diet soda, green tea, or coffee. And then I mean litterally fill yourself up. Drink so much off the stuff you are almost gonna puke your guts out.
Stay away from your temptations, and reward yourself for every almost binge you had, but didnt.

The negative effects of malnutritining are easy lifted by taking multi vitamines,cand extra vitamine b. That solves the hair, nail and skin problem.

For youre safety

I got a message that emails are being used by anti people to send ugly messages. Therefor I want to 'close' the blog.
That means that you have to sign in before youre able to see the blog.

I hope you can all agree with me this is a good option.
Messages youre leaving are already moderated by me, so theres no trash coming in anymore, but for everyone to be safe, I want to do this.
Not right now, I want everyone to have some time to read this, so you know this change is coming up.

I know youre names, so not much is neccesary for you all, but I think it will be better if only our people can really get here.

Ana veterans

Hi there,
As we all can see in the 'Personal buddies' topic, there is a lot need for help.
There are a lot of young girls, a lot of newbies, a lot of despair.
Trough this blog, and as soon as possible, trough the forum, I will do everything I can to help you!
For every one who has emailed me personally, I have read all your emails, and I will answer them, as soon as I can. I hope to get to most of them this evening. Its quite hard to help you all at the same time, since I'm only human.
I only have one pair of eyes to read, two hands to type, and one heart to live with you.

So therefor, I want to ask for help. I myself call myself an Ana veteran. I've been anorxic for 14 years now, and I know this is the way I want to live. I don't need a buddy for myself, but I can be one for a few, or some more, because I've been there. I've seen it all, done it all. I know the do's and don'ts, I know how hardvit can be.
I am not perfect, who is never tempted by a perfect apple pie?
But I have reached a point where I know how to control myself. I know the excuses, wich I actually dont even use anymore. People know I don't eat, and thats what I tell them now. I am an Ana girl, and they just have to suck it up.

Thats a lot easier when your adult, so I don't expect any of you to say that, and I know that most of you have to hide it. But what I'm trying to explain, is why I call myself a veteran.
Nothing, nobody can make me eat if I don't want to. And I grew so much in this lifestyle, that I don't have cravings, binges, or whatever. When I see people eat, I don't understand them.

What I need, is other Ana's who are to very experienced, and can help me. First here, to be a buddy for the needed. Wich you can do by sending mevan email with your story and motivation why you could be a good support buddy, and later on the forum, to help me moderate it.

I hope you all believe in yourself, cause I know you Ana veterans are there, and we need youre help!

Love Jade

Personal buddies

Hi there,
A lot of you are posting HELP messages with the question for a personal buddy all over the site the last few days.
I understand you need help, but I'm affraid that posting these messages just everywhere is not gonna work. People will overlook them easily.

So, if you feel in need of a personal buddy, post youre question here.
Name, land, age, and specifics about what sort of help you need.

I also want to ask Ana veterans if you are willing to volunteer to be a buddy for someone. If you are willing to do so, I want to ask you to email your info (name, age, country) to me, so we can talk about what you do and don't want, and we can make good matches here.

For everyone, You can always contact me by email at jade671989@gmail.com
I am from Holland, 23 years young, an Ana veteran for 14 years now

Love, Jade

Prevent weakness and tiredness during starvation

This is questioned by Tabbyjane.

First of all, you should never go for a 100%  starvation. You're body will simply go in survival mode, and burn as less calories as possible. And that is the exact mode where you will get extreme weak and tired. Because youre body is saving all its energy to use it for its vital oarts, heart, bloodstream, and oxygensupply.

So, what I do, is take three meals a day, but make sure I never take in more than fifty calories.
I take some lettuce, and season it with a lot of peper and salt. It tricks your body. The salt wil get youre blood pressure up, and the peper will give youre digestion a boost. The rest of the day I trick my body with high caffeine sweet drinks, without any calories. Sweetners are the key. Especially aspartame. This particular sweetner is a real body fooler. Your body really actually believes it gets sugar, while it doesn't . And its used in most diet drinks. Like coca cola light.

Then besides that, a real good thing is green tea. Green tea fastens you're metabolism, and it contains caffeine, wich also will give you enery. And by drinking alot, you will be less hungry. And it also cleanses youre body.

Another way is to take the pure form of caffeine, wich is powder you can use in anyway you like, so you can get a higher dose.

But, in the end, it is mainly youre body getting used to living the way you do.

So, in summary:
- always eat something, but never more than fifty calories, and ofcourse, no fats and carbs
- use peper and salt
- sweet high caffeine drinks
- aspartame, or other sweetners
- green tea
- caffeine powder

And give youre body some time to adjust. This is hard, but thats what it is in the beginning.
Personally, Ive reached a point where I can go without food for three or four days, and I am able to work, (I work with horses, so thats exercise at the same time). And live my life without problems. As long as I keep drinking enough. So you can do it to, but it will take a lot of discipline and hard work to hold on.

One important thing I forgot; take multivitamines! It really helps to keep your body stronger when your starving it.

When its all just too much

Lovely bloggers,
Being Pro Ana is about being strong. Being tough. Being diciplined. Being perfect. Youre a straight a student, or employee of the month. You're always smiling, you're such a social human being, cause when anyone needs help, you'll be there.
But then, when youre home alone. In youre own room. You look in the mirror, look yourself into your eyes. And you see the world behind the glisning the outerworld always gets to see.
You see the real you. Tired, broken, in pain.
Youre tired of this game youre playing of being perfect, and always pleasing everyone, but knowing you'll never be good enough to please yourself. The pain, of all the times they broke you with whatever horror was done to you when you were to young to understand, let along defence yourself. And broken, cause you have to live the secrets of it all day by day. Broken, cause you are living two lives, and sometimes even you forget wich one is the real one, untill you totally breakdown, when you realize, both lives are fake, and you don't even know who you are anymore.

Ever feel like that? I guess a lot of you regognize this, or parts of this.
Anyway, what I wanted to say. This post can be a place to post your feelings, to talk, to spit out everything thats in your mind. If youre in a dark place and feel as if youre all alone, know that youre not, cause we are here. I am here, thats a promise, and I dare to say that there will be sisters who agree with me. And I believe that you'll be there for me too.
In sadness, anger,fear whatever. Also when it doesn't have anything to do with Ana. As PA sisters, you're there for eachother always.

Love Jade

Help me help you!

Hi lovely bloggers,
I know that most of the last posts are not really about ana and stuff, but all about the renovation.
So, lets clear that up first. Ive made the question corner, as most of you probably already have seen, and you can always come with youre questions, or troubles. Whatever is happening here with all the changes, you're needs are in the first place!

And, thats also what this post is about. What do you really need and want at a webspace to make it perfect?
I already said earlier that I want respect for everyone. So, also respect if one of us decides to go for the 'health' path.
The forum that is coming will be closed, and people who sign up will be screened by me before they are allowed to enter.

But then...what do you want? What kind of topics do you need, what kind of rules? Do you want to an eating diary, weight charts, weight goals. Weight loss contests? Or non of that all? Do you want it to be a place where we are not going to compare with eachother, but just be supportive, and share our feelings, problems and emotions, without judgement, without knowing who eats the least, who is the skinniest. So it can be a place where we all struggle against being fat,and our environment not understanding cause they think were to skinny, without knowing the exact numbers of each other.

What are youre wishes in this? Youre ideas?
This forum, and this blog/website is made by me, but Im doing this to support you all. So therefor I ask for your opinions. Tell me how you all think about it.
And not only the forum, also the blog. What would you like to see in future posts, what do you miss, how can I help you?

Help me help you, thats my question now. So together we will build the perfect webspace for all Pro Ana girls,boys,woman, and men around. And we will not be beaten by anyone!
We will be the Pro Ana Revolution, you, me, and all of us!

Question corner

In answer to Genesis Rodriguez, who asked for some weight loss tips.....
I decided to open this topic. Since ' Can you give me some tips' seems a bit of a silly question here, sorry, don't want to be mean. But seriously, The Pro Ana Lifestyle is full of tips, tricks, information and everything.

But, Im sure not everything is on it. So, if you have specific questions, things you just dont know, want to know, wonder. Whatever. Ask them here. And I'll answer.
To keep everything clear, please only questions. Ill post your question and answer in a new post, and discussions may take place there.

And I promise to do everything I can to give you the best answer I can. And if I can't I'll be honest about it.

So, come on. Im ready, Im here to support ya'll!!!!

Love Jade

The new Revolution!

Lovely followers,
First of all I want to thank you again for being faithfull to the Pro Ana Lifestyle.
You all can see that we are working on the site right now, being it all little changes, we are working hard!
The forum is now under construction, and I expect launching soon. We're working hard, cause we will be the Pro Ana Revolution!

And it starts right here, right now!
But, a revolution isn't a one girl,guy,woman or man thing. We have to be toghether in this. And I need all of you. So, who says yes for the Pro Ana Lifestyle Revolution?
Who will be here, and help me to make this blog, and soon added forum a place for all the lost girls, womans, but also boys and men out there a safe place to be. To find help, support, thinspiration, motivation, everything they need?

And, at the same time, I want to create a place on this blog, and on the forum, for the ones who choose to go for the healthy way. And I wish that we can all accept that . I don't expect everyone to give advise to the ones who want to get out of the Pro Ana circle, I only ask for respect. And therefor respect for me too. Since I've seen both sides, a lot of times, I know the first steps for the way out, and even though I choose for Pro Ana, I feel every one must be safe with us, no mather what choise they make. And we have to respect every one. And therefor I will also help people to the right place if they want to.

I hope you can all accept and understand that.

Non the less; I am aware that there will not be anti-ana's anywere near! You can only respond on this blog, or enter the forum as a Pro Ana, Mia or whatever Ed-nos. You know what I mean. We will be the Pro Ana Revolution. But I wont let anyone down if your mind changes.

Dear lovely bloggers.

To keep you all up to date;
We are working on a forum!
I'm saying WE because I have kind of a sidekick.

He knows more about website enginering than I do, and he made it possible to offer this great book you can see at the right of the screen.

Beside that, he is also gonna help creating our forum!
And therefor, we must thank him. He won't really be seen here I think. But in the background, he is helping a lot.

So, what I want to say today (I should be a poet)
Take a look at that book! Its not just spam, we've thought it trough before we put it on there. Trust me, its worth taking a look at!

And, the TPAL forum is on its way!! I can't wait till its here!
What about you guys?

More news about the re-invention TPAL will follow later, I'll try today.

Love you all. You are strong, independent individuals, and youre awesome! And never let anyone tell you otherwise. You have the discipline to live a lifestyle of restriction in a world of seduction. And that makes you strong, invincible, almost perfect!

Forum

I'm thinking of starting a forum, connected to the blog.
And yes, I will stard blogging again. I have a lot to share with you!
But, the question
Would you like a forum? A place to talk about topics. I will moderate it myself. It will be closed, so no one will be on it without my consent. And, there will be rules off course. It must be a safe place.
Is that something you would like to use?
If so, then I'm gonna make it happen. If not. I won't..

I want to be there for you girls, women. As an inpsiration, but at the same time to support you. Cause deep in your heart we all know we don't do this because we are happy.
I want to be there for all of you. For bitter and worse. And I want to answer to your needs, for as far as I can.

So let me know, if you like this idea!

Love, Jade
