Awesome, I didn't think it was possible for people that small to get that big.

Natureboy37 · 12-30-2008, 10:23 AM

Wow, thanks for the post. I have an MA in counseling and have worked with teens and children for several years. I know there are a lot more males out there with eating disorders than would ever let on. Thanks for your openness and willingness to share!

Truely inspiring story bro, congrats on the overall acheivement and good luck in your future plans.

Bet your very proud mate. Awsome work there. I also got diagnosed with type 1 diabeties 3 years back and that made me eat alot healthier but I started visiting the gym 18 months after being diagnosed and I really got into it.

badera · 01-09-2009, 10:42 PM

BEYOND amazing. great work/dedication.. wow.

Great job, you don't look as severely anorexic as some I have seen in the 2 month out photo but maybe you had started gaining weight already. I personally know people who are skinnier than you were in those photos and I don't think they are diagnostically anorexic, but maybe they are. I mean I have seen them eat, and enjoy it.

Fantastic transformation though, I have been that skinny before too, sucked.

Great job man. Your progress is inspiring. Keep it up!

there is what some call "reverse anorexia" or muscle dysmorphia
where the person never feels they are big enough.
Sometimes I feel I have it but then the weights kick my ass and I realize I am still too small

I have motivation for perfection but not necessarily muscle dysmorphia.... Competitive Eating is what keeps me in check
