Pro-Ana is short for pro Anorexia, Pro-Mia for pro Bulimia. You have probably heard about those diseases, which mostly stem from mental problems, but unhealthily affect the body. And there are certain online forums which praise them, publishing 'thinspo'-pictures (most of them are photoshopped). Those pictures display unbelievably skinny girls, it actually looks disgusting, but some peoples' minds are just so warped by their self-conciousness that they believe it to be beautiful. I won't link to such pictures here, because I really dislike them, but google 'thinspo' and you get the wanted things.
I just don't understand how perfectly pretty girls with the best bodies imaginable can willingly ruin themselves. You can be happy with yourself, no matter what you look like. I myself don't have the most trained body, or a flat belly, or a small butt, but I don't think that this is so bad. I like myself, and that shows. And even if I was perfect, what if I had a shitty personality? This world has become quite superficial. Pretty, intelligent, wonderful girls kill themselves because they think they're not thin enough to be noticed and loved. Rather sad, don't you think?
I'm going to post MY thinspo now. Even if I don't look up to others like that, here's what I'd choose if I had to:
Sorry for that extra bit of nakedness, but it shows off that they're not perfect. The left picture is special, because they even showed it on the news. She's a model, but you have probably noticed the little paunch. Nonetheless, she's stunningly pretty. I don't know the second picture, but I found that it represents a normal woman accordingly. She also isn't slim, but does that make her ugly? Don't think so. As for the right picture, it's from a calendar by the magazine Glamour. Of course, they're all naked, but they don't have perfect bodies either. But just like the other ladies, I think they are stunningly beautiful.
So now, I'm gonna end this long rant, but I hope that you're thinking about beauty/society now.

Their bodies don't even look big to me. I mean, people have to have SOME weight O_O
I've never understood the whole THIN IS SEXY thing, because it's not true. Weight doesn't tell you if someone's beautiful, it's them as a whole person that tells you (cheesy I know XD)
And Su, you look good too ^^
