Thinspiration, abbreviated as 'thinspo', is a two word combination of 'thin + inspiration'. This term is widely used by pro-anas (people who support anorexia) and pro-mias (people who support bulimia). To inspire themselves, they post pictures of thin/skinny models; naked, semi-naked, particular lean part of bodies (arms, back, belly, thighs, butts) and the before-after pictures.

Brown spots, gray hair and wrinkles. These three are never in everyone's cup of tea, and my mom was one of their victims. She has gone through the stage of depression (kinda).
