Anorexia

I've had my fill today of stupid bullshit online about anorexia.

According to the Internet, only teen girls who think they are fat have anorexia. (Except for a few mentions that men can have it too! *gasp*)

The fact is, however, that anyone can develop a restrictive eating disorder. Any gender, any age, and for so many reasons that trying to list them is pointless.

Yes, a teen girl with body image issues needs a different treatment approach than a 30-something mother that simply feels she doesn't deserve to eat. But both suffer from the same symptom: a restrictive eating disorder.

It seems like only me and one other person have realized this.
