My life as a male anorexic

"My Life as a Male Anorexic is a uniquely male point of view of anorexia nervosa. It is the autobiographical account of a young man's ongoing struggle with anorexia."--BOOK JACKET. "Michael Krasnow has had anorexia since 1984, and he chronicles his daily struggles, feelings, and experiences in this book. He writes in a relaxed, easygoing manner that makes the book appealing to all readers. While ignoring statistics and not pretending to be an expert on the disorder, Michael simply tells readers what his life is like and how anorexia has ffected - even controlled - it. As of today, Michael has maintained his weight at 75 pounds on a 5-foot, 9-inch frame."--BOOK JACKET. "Michael's story will baffle, frustrate, and sadden readers, whether they are interested in the human side of Michael's story, whether they are workers in the medical field - psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, nurses, aides, social workers, mental health counselors - or whether they are teachers, co-workers, friends, or relatives of a male with anorexia. My Life as a Male Anorexic beings to shed light on the little-known or discussed problem of male anorexia nervosa."--BOOK JACKET.
