\subsection{Pro-Anorexic Sites & and  Social Media} Pro-anorexic online venues provide individuals with anorexia a context in which they can share experiences and offer encouragement to other pro-ana’s (Harshbarger, Ahlers-Schmidt, Mayans, Mayans, Hawkins, 2009). Wilson, Peebles, Hardy, and Litt’s (2006) study found that almost half of those diagnosed with anorexia visit or are members of pro-anorexic websites. The philosophy driving the pro-anorexic movement is the idea that it helps maintain a chosen lifestyle (Csipke and Horne, 2007). Attractive features of pro-anorexic sites to pro-ana’s include: the normalization of pro-anorexic behaviors and thoughts (Gavin et al., 2008), the benefits of receiving social support, tips and tricks to lose and hide weightloss through quotes, images, and text (Norris et al., 2006; Sharpe et al., 2011), a sense of camaraderie (Falk, 2001), and the provision of a safe space to self-disclose intimate information that may be stigmatized in other contexts (Dias, 2003). With the stigma associated with anorexia (Shisslak, Crago, Estes, 1995) and the stressful and negative emotions derived from feeling stigmatized, these individuals find others who can help them cope. For example, individuals of a particular stigma category have a tendency to congregate where they believe that everyone has the same values and beliefs (Goffman, 1963). Pro-anorexic sites can be a context in which individuals with anorexia communicate with one another to foster these similar values and beliefs.
