The stigma of anorexia nervosa as a "female problem" also prevents many male anorexics from even understanding that they have an eating disorder. This may be because, unlike bulimics, who feel a keen sense of self-reproach about their problem, anorexics tend to like having their disease. Anorexics look gaunt, especially in the upper body, while dancers who purge develop raw knuckles and a "chipmunk" look from vomiting. |
