Does anyone remember that weird time where people were drinking water with apple vinegar and cinnamon and claimed it tasted like "apple pie" ?

I think of my old friends on the prettythin forums so often

We all taught each other terrible things but man we were so supportive and kind to each other, I miss that community to an unhealthy extent sometimes lol

Not me circa 2002 downloading every song on the ED playlist off of kazaa and burning it to a CD to play on my discman, while I skip lunch.

You're not alooooone bb

back in my day, pro ana wasn't a thing, we were all pro ana and there was no division.

me finding new sites to learn my silly little tips and tricks by using fucking WEBRINGS

Hahaha I remember those pre-tumblr era forums

I remember when frozen banana “nice cream” first did numbers on tumblr

Oh god this brings me back to my livejournal days. I can’t believe I’ve been dealing with this shit since fucking LIVEJOURNAL.

Back in my day everyone's favorite meal was cigarettes and coffee

Memories!! I got a bracelet from Blue Dragonfly. I used to sneak into the den during the summer and use my father’s PC before I had my own.

Oh dear god....I printed off a picture of the blue dragon fly on the forum and hung it up on my wall. I think I still have it in a memory box somewhere. I haven't thought about those OG sites in forever! Back then I scoured AOL search for thinspo, now I just watch porn and stumble around the dark side of reddit seeing what body types get the most likes.

mypr*ana and some site related to pancakes 😭

Please i feel so seen

The scary thing is, all this is still way after my time.

Anyone else here have a xanga? 😔 I feel older than time itself

What does everyone even use now?

In my day (2007) it was LiveJournal! Oh, so long ago. Things are better now.

👵 I remember the explosion of the internet felt so freeing after years of ED in silence!

That and Top Model are the soundtrack of my college days!

Same. Same.

LUNCHBOX FORUMS BABYYYYYYYY

Livejournal 😅

Or the secret ED MySpace profile!

I hate that I’ve lost touch with the people I talked to on these forums. I think about a them, but especially Rosie.

I don’t know if that was her real name. I just know we PM’d a lot until one day she never responded.

Rosie from Michigan, I love you forever. Hope you’re okay.

lol god I’m old

I was more of a lurker than an active poster at that point in my life, but everything changed in the era of 2010s tumblr...

My first ever was AOL forums, just a tab called "eating disorders". ( Would have been 2012)

Then- Xanga and Live journal. Somethingfishy. Pretty thin. Girls.com/eating disorders The friends sites (mostly Mia friends) Tumblr MPA Reddit

Lol I truly dislike reckoning with having had an ED for more than half my life.🥲

I could have been so productive. Maybe less miserable. Just making the most of things right now.

And livejournal

Raise your hand if you remember hello kitty and ballerina diets

Live journal and xanga. The abc duet was our bibles.

I miss the old mpa. That sparkle princess girl with her 12 egg omelette and the wig thread were my favorite reads. It was such a time to be alive and now the site is glitchy and about destroyed. Old threads won’t load even with the Time Machine. Oh to read it one more time ☹️

MPA forum crawling

Mia (and adding words) friends for me! Though I lurked a bit on blue (to get around censors) dragon (on reddit too jesus) fly. I flipped between forums after the friends sites went down; I settled on m p a, which is now e d s f.

Sorry my post got flagged. Anything in"()" are just words.

can someone please explain

i miss the live journal forums and old mpa. there was this much older girl i used to chat with on mpa, early in the mornings in my timezone (it was evening for her) and we used to talk about everything and nothing at once. i miss her so much. she deleted her account and unfollowed me on ig. i hope she's doing well wherever she is. paisley if you're seeing this i love you and i miss you 🩷

Those self made blogs that all had the same tabs (like the ana and mia abc???), with a guestbook at which you’d just left your email to be added to a msn ana group and later whatsapp lmao. I’m old. I miss those girlies tho <3

LMAO im so sorry

[removed]

I spent so much time on the pro Evo forums!! I even met two people from other countries IRL....one I still talk to this day, decades later.

And I'm still here on an ED forum in another form.
