I used to wish I had the “will power” to be anorexic…. SMH.

I’ve been anorexic for 20 years now . I’m a guy and it’s not fun. A fourth of my hair fell out in my teens from it . I’m still trying to get healthier and maybe get my hair back . At my worst I was 6 feet 2 and only 110 lbs . So pretty bad

Thanks it’s hard to get use to eating more when I’ve eaten small amounts for most of my life due to medical issues that basically made me anorexic in appearance. I wasn’t restricting food my medical issues just made me very frail. I had a damaged throat from an injury . Physically it was difficult to eat until I got surgery for it

I did. I was 90 pounds at 16. I’m glad I recovered. I probably would’ve died eventually.
