Magnus is right. I've read and heard about the pro eating disorders sites out there. I had a career in dentistry and some of the requirements were attending an (x) number of seminars per year and also hands on classes to be able to keep licenses and certifications. Many of those seminars were about eating disorders. Mainly because the signs of disease, especially eating disorders, show up clearly in the mouth.

Taking a look at some of those sites, turned my stomach. From what I remember about them, many are run by individuals suffering from these illnesses and it's like big support groups. The only problem is, many of them didn't focus on becoming healthier. They focused on making promises to each other to fast together or discussed ways to make people around them believe they actually ate something that day.
