I just thought I'd give you an update on how Ben (now aged 23) is getting on with life now that the eating disorder is well and truly behind him...
In June, Ben finished the teaching element of his Masters Degree and moved out of his shared student house and back into the family home.
Over the summer he's been busy writing up his MA dissertation which needs to be handed in to the university in early September. He's also been doing an intensive learner driver course and seems to be a 'natural' behind the wheel, although - so far - I haven't allowed him to drive my car!!!
In between all of this he's been seeing his friends and, by the sound of it, they seem to be having a whale of a time.
Plus, he's still cooking for us in the evenings. A mountain of amazing meals which bear little relation to the reduced calories/carbs/fat meals he was busy cooking eight years ago in the summer of 2009.
Then, in September, he begins a teacher training course.
Phew! He's a busy guy!
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.
