Men with eating disorders

Hey guys.
Guys specially.

Remember that day in 7th grade,
When the time had come to display our physical strength?
When we had to run a 7 minuet mile.
I ran *cough* walked a 10 minute mile.
The mile run that seemed like a marathon.
Well now I run a 7:30 mile.
I still feel like I miss the mark.

Remember how we never ever played shirts and skins?
Till that day there was a sub.
It was horrible,
wasn't it?
Unless you were one of the few,
who totally felt comfortable in your fit body,
or even in your unfit body.
(No judgement either way)
Well I never felt very comfortable in my slightly over weight body.
And now I have lost 35 pounds.
35 pounds doesn't lighten my body dimorphic disorder.

Remember when we could could eat pizza for lunch everyday?
I like pizza.
I like kale.
I like ice-cream.
I like almonds.
I love brownies.
I like tree bark.

Remember when we came to high school and we did the physical fitness thing all over again?
Well I do,
And sometimes I try to forget.

The truth about weight loss is that,
No one carries around a scale to weigh you.
No one counts your calories.
Less people look at you than you would think.
But the person who is mostly likely to judge you,
Is the person who is always with you.
It's you.

So guys.
Work out.
Eat less pizza.
Eat more kale.

It doesn't matter what you you like.
It matters how you treat your body.

How someone looks its great,
But how they live is better.
