Looking for information on eating disorders in boys? Worried that your son has an eating disorder? How can you tell if a boy has an eating disorder? In 2009 my 15-year-old son developed anorexia. Now, aged 28, he is recovered & studying psychology in order to help others. This blog tells the story of my son's recovery from anorexia as well as raising awareness of eating disorders in boys.

Check out my interview in the Yorkshire Post from yesterday
Although I didn't get to see this Yorkshire Post report before it was published (on the growing problem of boys with eating disorders) I think the journalist has done a pretty good job, even though most of my comments have been paraphrased. Also bit of an odd choice of image - child's feet on scales!!?? But, all in all, it gets across the problem of BMIs being used as an indicator of the seriousness of an eating disorder, especially in boys, plus the fact that media images don't "cause" eating disorders but they can be a trigger in some people.
