Lilly is an articulate and quirky 25 year old living in Brighton. There have been issues surrounding her weight since she can remember but she developed an eating disorder around the age of 14.

She had previously joined a pro-anorexia site on a live journal community called simply 'pro-anorexia', but it was targeted and overwhelmed by people hostile to 'pro-ana' and so she left.

With others she started up a site called 'proanamovement', which is a private online community where eating disorders can be openly discussed between members without criticism or interference from those outside.

Lilly maintains that such communities work as group therapy. They give people who would otherwise be isolated by their eating disorders a nurturing place where they can be understood and listened to rather than being shunned and dismissed.

She has close relationships with those in her group. Despite being 'eating disordered' herself, she fulfils an unofficial motherly and advisory role to younger girls within 'proanamovement'.
