Dealing with an eating disorder has been one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced, especially as a man. There’s this stigma that eating disorders only affect women, but that’s simply not true. I’ve struggled with body image, binge eating, and purging for years, but I’m determined to overcome it. It’s been a difficult road, but with the support of my loved ones and professional help, I’m learning to have a healthier relationship with food and my body. I’ve realized that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a courageous step towards healing. To anyone out there struggling with an eating disorder, please know that you’re not alone. It’s okay to ask for help, and recovery is possible. Remember to be kind to yourself and take each day as it comes. You’re stronger than you think.
