And the boys that I work with,
And adolescents, they're doing it too.
Now they might not be as open about doing it.
And there's certainly um, you know, there's this different dialogue certainly amongst boys and men where they don't talk about it.
So unlike, you know, women who, you know, we have historically, I mean, as back as the 1600s, we've seen accounts of eating disorders with women, and that there's more of a sense of community.
and dialogue, which is good, where women can talk about these issues and and, you know, more so.
I mean, there are still lots of women that suffer silently with eating disorders.
Um, with boys and men, I mean, again, it's even today in twenty twenty one.
I am often with the adult men that I work with with eating disorders, I'm often the only person that knows that they have an eating disorder.
I mean, there are some men who have been married twenty, thirty years and their wives don't know that they binge and purge um or that they're using laxatives or that they're
You know, when they're at the gym, they're compulsively you know working out.
Um, there's there's so much shame and so and there isn't that kind of dialogue.
So hearing that about you know the bachelor, I mean, I think it's important, and and I praise that individual for being open about it because the more visibility that people have, I mean, there are some um YouTube videos, there's an athlete named uh Mike Marjama who was a big
And he has a wonderful YouTube video where he talks about his struggle with eating disorders.
And he left baseball to uh basically be a spokesperson for an eating disorder association to really bring awareness to it.
And you know, getting visibility of just, you know, men, athletes, uh, white men, black men, um, Hispanic men, you know, people of
of different sort of backgrounds and understanding, you know, gay men, straight men, um, that there is there's a lot of different sort of representations out there.
So I think the more that we hear about it, the more it opens people up to, oh, okay, I guess I'm not the only one and maybe I could get treatment.
Yeah, so what we know is that so with eating disorders, um, you have anorexia, which is where people are restricting their calories and and starving themselves.
You have bulimia where they're binge eating, so they're eating a tremendous amount of food in a short period of time, and then they're compensating for that binge by purging.
