Recovering when you're a no-nonsense guy who totally doesn't have anorexia but has some sort of problem [Podcast]
The Eating Disorder Recovery PodcastShow Notes
In this podcast Tabitha talks to B, a guy who totally didn't have anorexia ... but probably did!
B thought of himself as a normal guy, doing normal things: obsessively tracking calories, running absurd distances, and hiding in closets to avoid being invited to lunch. After an incident involving a blog post, evolutionary biology, and a semi-anonymous e-mail exchange, he did the normal thing: he researched and wrote a guide on anorexia recovery, and then started following it.

I've not written a blog for months. I've been moving house, had little internet connection, and been generally busy, and tired. I'm glad that this past couple of weeks I had felt like I have the time and space to start writing again, so there will be blogs to come, soon.
