I dont know , but i kind of think this is exploitation of anorexia. I know the point is to discourage it , but it seems like it can be taken as a way to desensitize people and even used as a pro-ana advertizement for all the whack jobs. I am torn about this. As a former sufferer myself i realize it takes great courage from the woman to do this , but wonder if she is doing this because she feels she must be the poster child for anorexia and if this is just something that is going to further promote her illness and make this her identity. It is almost like it validates her reasons for being ill.
