 abstract={The subject of the discussion is the linguistic image of the body in people with eating disorders (ED) who communicate via the Internet. The analysis concerns the language and style of blogs and microblogs written in 2012–2020 by people (mostly young women) identifying with the pro-Ana and pro-Mia movements. The most important transformations taking place in this cyber-community were indicated, including the transition from somatic exclusion, through body neutrality, to body acceptance. Leanness, even excessive leanness, is now often interpreted in this context not as a disorder (disease), but as a synonym for a healthy, responsible lifestyle. The purpose of the analysis, apart from updating the findings of linguists and researchers representing other disciplines (especially psychologists and sociologists writing about eating disorders), was to recreate the relationship between the medial (constructed) and perceived body image (resulting from self-exclusion practices) and to observe the linguistic mechanisms that build and maintain a sense of community among people with ED spectrum. In discussing these issues, the author combines a linguistic approach with findings in the field of cultural studies and sociology, with particular emphasis on research in the field of sociology of the body. The subject of observation are lexical and onimic contexts in which the attitude of people with eating disorders to the body is visible, especially in the aspect of its fragmentation and transformation. These findings are part of a broader context related to the interpenetration of (contradictory) discourses: diet discourse and the so-called body positivity (anty-body shaming), i.e. accepting your natural body.},
