I don't have an eating disorder myself. But I do have an eating "concern" I guess I'll call it. I'm an older man (well sort-of... it's complicated.) But I don't have the big gut many older men develop & I never will. (My father had it.) Consequently I don't eat a lot. I'd starve myself to death before I'd allow that to happen. It's also one of the reasons I staunchly refuse to take antidepressants; because all of them it seems cause weight gain to one degree or another. And if I started to gain weight that, in-&-of itself, would make me seriously depressed.
