Thinspiration (a portmanteau of thin and
inspiration) is a term that refers to a role
model used by people (typically
individuals with eating disorders) to
inspire them to lose weight. It's most
common in the pro-ana community, but
not confined to it.
Typically the thinspiration is a very thin,
attractive female, usually a well known
actress or a model, especially one who
successfully lost weight, or is known or
rumored to have an eating disorder.
Among the common "thinspirations"
are Nicole Richie, Mary Kate Olsen, Kate
Moss, Calista Flockhart, and various
runway models such as Vlada
Roslyakova, Natasha Poly, Jeisa
Chiminazzo, Tiiu Kuik, Hana Soukupova
and Snejana Onopka. In addition, some
people use images of extremely
emaciated anorexics, for example, Bony
Pink.
Photos of the thinspirations are
common on pro-ana websites.
"Negative thinspiration" (also called
reverse triggers) is sometimes used to
describe photos of extremely obese
people, that may also inspire people to
diet.
Thinspiration is becoming extremely
popular within the online community,
especially with blogging sites such as
Xanga and Livejournal. These websites
offer communities and groups that post
pictures of thin people that will be used
for the purpose of starving/losing
weight.
