My own teacher suffered from it. She showed us a picture of one of her worst times. I thought that her arm was a stick in the ground. When she’d pointed out that that was her arm, I was flabbergasted. 

We then talked about how not only females suffer from eating disorders, even though we are the dominant gender in eating disorders, males do as well. I met a guy on a vacation one time. He told me that he suffered from an eating disorder. He went from 243 pounds to 112 pounds. The sad thing? People didn’t even notice that this was the way he lost his weight. He would starve himself and then binge on sweets and cakes. 

He is a lot better now. He is at a healthy weight and eating healhty and he is mentally healthy. 

The moral of the story? 

You never know something so serious can be going on in someone’s life.
