Current neoliberal ideology in Western society encourages individuals to self-monitor their body to control population health. The resulting self-surveillance includes weight management, promoted as a marker of health. Disordered eating, like anorexia, is framed as a health disorder. However, weight loss is framed as a health initiative; we argue that these framings are engaging with the same body project, encouraging thinness as a marker of health and good bio-citizenry. Using content analysis to compare online blog context created by individuals engaged in weight loss and individuals who identify as pro-anorexia, we argue and evidence that both groups are engaged in body projects with shared parameters. Findings suggest each group is striving to embody a thin ideal through weight management. Specifically, weight loss bloggers and pro-ana bloggers demonstrate similar diet and exercise behaviours in online diaries detailing their weight loss experiences. Thus, weight loss and anorexia exist on the same spectrum of responsible bio-citizenry.

在线生物公民：亲安娜和减肥博客的内容分析

西方社会当前的新自由主义意识形态鼓励个人自我监测自己的身体，以控制人口健康。由此产生的自我监测包括体重管理，作为健康的标志得到推广。饮食失调，如厌食症，被认为是一种健康障碍。然而，减肥被认为是一项健康举措；我们认为这些框架与同一个身体项目有关，鼓励瘦身作为健康和良好生物公民的标志。使用内容分析来比较由从事减肥的个人和自认为厌食症的个人创建的在线博客上下文，我们论证并证明这两个群体都参与了具有共享参数的身体项目。调查结果表明，每个小组都在努力通过体重管理来体现苗条的理想。具体来说，减肥博主和支持厌食症的博主在网上日记中展示了类似的饮食和锻炼行为，详细描述了他们的减肥经历。因此，体重减轻和厌食症存在于负责任的生物公民的同一范围内。
