As a guy now trying to recover from anorexia and facing extreme hunger and shame as well as stigma from all over the place I find it that I have no place to go for support because if you're a male and talk about having an eating disorder (especially if you're straight like me) people will laugh in your face, I've spent this whole week living like this https://youtu.be/HlH5j-ylE4E but the only support seems to be that voice in my head and some other videos I've found on the topic but almost all of them are by women for women or at least use gender specific pronouns such as "she" or "her" which is very damaging to my masculinity because it makes me feel like I'm the only male in the world who suffers from this and on top of it nobody every comments on how hard it is to achieve that perfect "magic Mike" body that girls want, we always here about how men want a very thin partner like Ariana Grande or one with a literally unnatural body like Kim K but we never hear about how men are expected to be Ryan Reynolds or Mark Walberg, and tbh I don't find either of those two girls/women attractive at all but that's besides the point.

I'm recovering from anorexia and find that I'm very hungry and able to consume large amounts of food compared to everyone else around me, especially when it's foods I had never allowed myself before, is this normal or should I watch what I eat as I recover or is it a third option where I eat as much as I feel I need now and return to what's deemed normal once I get to what's normal?
