wannarexia


1. an imaginary disease most commonly found amongst preteen to teenage, overweight, females whom claim to have the eating disorder anorexia, but they do not meet the criteria. in fact, they do not have an eating disorder at all. most wannarexic people feel that anorexia is a “quick fix” to lose weight and that it is glamorous.
i was reading this girl’s xanga and she totally has wannarexia. she recorded a food log and she admitted to eating 3 large mushroom pizzas, a super sized order of french fries, 12 hamburgers, 14 cheesesteaks, 7 pounds of animal fat, and 35 chocolate bars. and that was just her breakfast!
overview: onset between 14-17, affects only females. it is not the life-threatening disorder, but the girls craving sympathy and attention will claim it is. they will refer to their new diet as ‘ana’, to try and appear as though they fit into the cultural breed of fakes. they spend money on starbucks like it was calorie-free. usually, they’ll ‘recover’ or just forget, as soon as they’ve lost the 5 or 10 pounds before prom.

warning signs: extremely low comprehension level, joining pro-ana communities, showing sudden interest in mary-kate olsen, and using sayings like ‘stay strong’, or ‘wwmkd?’ (what would mary kate do). they’ll have a fear of getting fat (although they are blind to their already prominent handles and rolls.) they’ll take pictures contorted at strange angles, sucking in their stomache to try and prove that they are really anorexic, and post them on their pro-ana boards.

treatment: no treatment is possible to convince people suffering from wannarexia that they are not anorexic, unless the treatment includes brain replacement.
examples:

girl: “omigod i didnt eat today and now i way 72 pounds, wwmkd? stay strong, ana luv!”

or

girl 1: “this girl just told me she was anorexic, and might be hospitalized.. she doesn’t look skinny at all though?”

girl 2: “that girl just has wannarexia. she wears a size 0 and pretends that it fits, but she can’t do up the zipper. and, she drinks a few venti starbucks frappucinos with extra sauce every day. what a loser.”
a term given to the “condition” girls who want to have anorexia really have. they’ll promote their “eating disorder” and tell everyone how little they’ve eaten and talk about how fat they think they are, whereas someone who actually has anorexia nervosa wouldn’t promote this fact at all. what these wannarexic girls don’t realize is that you can’t force yourself to be anorexic, and if they truly knew how dark and lonely having anorexia is, they wouldn’t wish it upon their worst enemies. they’re really only doing it for attention, which is an issue in itself.
priscilla just told me she had a carrot stick for dinner. she totally has wannarexia.
essentially try-hard anorexics that think that it’s frickin awesome to be an anorexic. generally in the 12-16 years category, or anyone that hasn’t developed brain matter yet.

wannarexics choose to become anorexic, and while most of the attempts fail within days of starting, some actually do become anorexic.

wannarexics need to be killed.
girl one: omfg!!!! i like totes haven’t eaten in 6 hours! i’m so cool.

girl two: lol. she’s got wannarexia. dumb-ss.
wanna-be anorexic. a person who does not mean the critera for anorexia nervosa what-so-ever but likes to think they are. sometimes an attention seeker.

person 2: you had like 5 slices of pizza for a snack yesterday..
person 1: what! no, you’re lying. i only had an apple!
person 2: more like wannarexia..
