This post was almost certainly made by a teenage girl who also has an eating disorder

Absolutely. I don't think people realize there are whole communities formed by girls encouraging each others' eating disorders. IIRC there were a few on reddit, IDK if they ever got shut down.

It's really sad.

It's not new. During the height of my eating disorder, I followed a ton of pro- anorexia pages/people on Xanga. This was probably 2003ish and girls would give tips to hide their disorders and how to lose more weight.
