I have had two male friends die as a result of eating disorders. For one the problem was masked by alcohol but for the other it was straight up anorexia which no one want to notice or comment upon. I now need to find a way to talk about this with someone I work with. My sense is to focus on prayer as I am overweight and not much of an example. Body image can be a monster. The sooner our society finds a way to be honest about this the better. Lives are being lost.
