Yeah, right.

As if a 10-pound weight gain would mean the end of a complicated relationship with Ana or Mia.

There are plenty of people in recovery who are still underweight and will remain so for quite a while, perhaps years.  That doesn’t mean they are pro-ana or pro-mia, however.  It just means they haven’t reached the stage of their recovery where they are able to eat enough (or keep enough food in their bodies) to increase their BMI.

I think this is an important issue to remember, especially for parents, friends, family members, teachers and coaches.  It’s also one that I don’t believe is discussed often enough.
