Hi. I'm 19 years old and my boyfriend is anorexic.
We just started dating within the last few months
and he told be all about it from the beginning. I
never know what to do or say. I'm the only person
that he's honest with about what he eats. (when his
mother asks he usually lies) Is there anything I
can say to him to help improve his body-image? He
laughs at me for complimenting him too much but has
admitted it helps. He's been struggling with this off
and on for a few years now. Recently he's been eating
well but he tells me each day is a struggle. I would
apreciate any advice. Has anyone else been through
this? Thanks.
