Why Eating Disorders? Why blokes? Why the UK?

Because I feel strongly that there's a lack of information and understanding around the subject of men who have an eating disorder.

There's already quite a lot of work on women in the UK who have issues with eating, food and exercise, for example. The same can't be said about men.

What research am I doing?

I'm trying to answer the question how do men who have had/currently have an eating disorder understand their experiences?

I want men to send me their personal stories - of how they came to have disordered eating, of how it developed over time and where they are now.

What I'm most interested in is capturing real experiences told in men's own words.

I don't care about spelling, grammar, punctuation or how good you might be at telling your 'story' I just want what you send me to be an account of your experiences how ever you want to write it.
