Equal Opportunity Anorexics
While we at Random Anorexics are ladies, we understand that men can have eating disorder too. I know because my husband measures serving sizes, exercises like a fiend and is skinny enough to fit into my jeans. In fact, if you consider weighing mustard, counting m&m’s, performing irrational calorie calculations and seeing fat where none exists eating disordered behaviors, then I have to say that at least half of the men in my life need treatment.
Because we consider ourselves equal opportunity anorexics, we’d like to invite our male readers to share their stories, insights, opinions, skinny bitch quotes and stupid significant other quotes with us. The gender neutral and gender confused are invited too. Submit them as a comment or email skinnylady@randomanorexics.com.

So in my personal trainer class yesterday, this was the conversation…..
“You’re so toned and lean, you must eat super healthy. What did you eat yesterday… we want all the details…”
“Well, for breakfast i ate wheat toast with organic peanut butter…”
—”Very good”
“And for lunch, i ate steamed spinach with olive oil, salad, and …lentils…”
—”Very healthy…”
“For a snack, I ate an apple and banana and granola…”
—”Nice, nice…”
“And for dinner, I ate a pizza with baked zitti on top of it… lots of salt added of course. Then after, a big piece of chocolate pie…”
—Silence with an long gasp….
It’s not just husbands who say stupid and insensitive things, as evidenced by the stupid wife quote below:
I was leaning on the bathroom counter brushing my teeth, and as she was squeezing behind me she said (knowing full well my deep and painful body dismorphic disorder): “We’re going to have to build an addition on the house for your butt.”
Heh. I would totally have said something when this was posted ‘new,’ but at the time I was in residential treatment at one of the few places in the country where men are even accepted…
