3. my son the wrestler

encouraged by his freakin coach to retain his 103 lb weight from freshman to senior year. the sad part about his condition was that he actually got a high from starvation and food became his enemy.

after his junior season my bribes worked, and he became interested in food again, fell in love and learned to drive. Noticed he felt "smarter" when he ate.

this last year he is thriving. placed 5th in state at 112 lbs.


good luck with your guy. I do not know what actually cured him, but everything is better now, he's hungry all the time. anorexia is a nightmare.
