Anorexia is about mind over body

When Web-surfer "Lachesis" found there were no anorexia support websites in China, she decided to set up an online group on Douban.com, a well-known social website in China. In March this year, her website was launched, and now Anorexia Nervosa Is Lifestyle Choice has attracted more than 80 members.

Members share experiences on how to lose weight healthily, how to cope with families who are not supportive, and of course, case studies of famous people with anorexia nervosa.

Another online group that many of its members also log on to is a site named Trapped in Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa, which has almost 2,400 members.
