Since pro-ana sites have a wealth of content to "help you lose", we wanted to give you some food for thought to "help you win" against your eating disorder. If you have an inspiring piece of writing you'd like us to host here on We Bite Back, email it to us (tell us if you want us to credit to your name, an alias or anonymously.) Remember... together we can all bite back. You can either be a positive influence or a negative influence in the world and online. Strive to stay positive & keep a sunny orange disposition.
