Body

I’m up above the 160 pound mark now, which is pretty exciting, although I’m still recovering from a cold so we’ll see how that affects things. I am increasingly tempted to try to count my calories and protein intake, just to see what’s happening.

A lot of the information on men and eating disorders is pretty old– 1999-2001, mostly. I think it was one of those media frenzies that didn’t quite catch on. I mean, I’d at least expect a Livejournal community centered on it, given the number of pro-anorexia groups. Oh, there’s a few: a whole Hydroxycut interest group, for example, and the odd suspiciously self-aware workout journal though. But even the weightlifting groups are populated nearly exclusively by women. I wonder if it’s a LiveJournal thing, or a distribution of illness thing, or labeling, or what.
