Former Model; Current Mom; Excellent Supporter
by
Since you’re here for one of five reasons (according to last week’s poll), I must assume that you’ve stumbled onto or been referred to my new favourite blog, mamaVISION. You haven’t? Here’s your chance. Bookmark it and add it to your feed readers because this woman is informed, indignant, and supportive. She’s a pit bull wrapped in a cuddly infant snowsuit, licking your cheek.
Some of my favourite areas of her site include (in no specific order):
- Her story. She was a model for six years and then quit and had to repair her disordered eating habits, self esteem and so on.
- A recent email she received from Mike Smith. Who used stereotypical apples to oranges comparisons and was too scared to give his real name and a long-established email address!
- A description of Social Anorexia and how it affects us.
- Her audacity to tell parents to examine proana sites and proana videos on youtube. It’s wonderfully unabashed. Especially since it was following the outrage of…
- Her posting on how to make your daughter anorexic - which basically lists the ways parents unknowingly instill disordered eating habits in their children, via rewarding, praise and modeling behaviours.
There’s lots more that I’d like to go into, but I won’t keep you when you could be over there!

Hey! Thank you for the wonderful commentary on my blog. I cracked up at the “pitbull wrapped up in a cuddly infant snowsuit, licking your cheek” analogy - perfect description.
I thought you’d like to know I have a small publication coming out soon;
The HipBone Handbook, how to be anorexic.
I have a feeling you love it. It was hard as heck to write though, there’s something about knowing it will be in hard copy print that is scary….but I just put on my mamaV cap cranked it out.
My proceeds will go my non-profit company mamaVISION foundation. I am not sure what I will do with the proceeds, but I can assure you the funds will be used to spread awareness of ED’s and proana in some fashion.
Take care and keep up your great work!
