Ana & Mia are subjective terms, some people using them are referring to "gods" essentially (praising Ana, or Mia), whereas others are simply abbreviating. Saying "I'm ana" is easier, both in that it's shorter & it's easier to say than to admit "I have anorexia". Not everyone using these terms, or wearing bracelets are necessarily "pro". As I see it, the bracelet is a way of identifying with others, not as a "status symbol", rather as a supportive symbol. Seeing another bracelet is seeing someone else who is also coping with a disease everyday...it's knowing you aren't alone, whether you feel it's a battle or a blessing. Eating Disorders & their sufferers are complicated, some people love it one day & the next wish nothing more than to be a normal person.
