00:00:00.127 --> 00:00:03.422
- I haven't really opened
up about this very often.

00:00:06.902 --> 00:00:09.052
- Giving us advice or
trying to joke about things

00:00:09.052 --> 00:00:12.014
doesn't always work because
it's such a sensitive issue.

00:00:12.014 --> 00:00:13.681
- It may have started out as a choice,

00:00:13.681 --> 00:00:15.100
but at that point it was something

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:17.394
that I wanted to stop and couldn't stop.

00:00:17.394 --> 00:00:20.490
- Eating disorders are
also a lot more mental

00:00:20.490 --> 00:00:21.649
than you think they are.

00:00:21.649 --> 00:00:23.025
- It's less about discipline than it is

00:00:23.025 --> 00:00:24.359
kind of a compulsion.

00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:26.900
- People with eating
disorders look very different.

00:00:26.900 --> 00:00:28.739
- What I would want people to know is that

00:00:28.739 --> 00:00:31.075
you don't have to put
yourself in my shoes.

00:00:31.075 --> 00:00:33.869
- It's really not about
vanity or rational decisions.

00:00:33.869 --> 00:00:37.373
It's just something
you know is destructive

00:00:37.373 --> 00:00:39.082
but you can't really stop.

00:00:39.082 --> 00:00:41.167
- I wish I could say that
there was this clear thing

00:00:41.167 --> 00:00:44.170
where like I did this,
and then I got better.

00:00:44.170 --> 00:00:46.673
- I compare it to addiction in that way.

00:00:46.673 --> 00:00:48.591
- The only thing you have to worry about

00:00:48.591 --> 00:00:51.054
is asking us how you can help.

00:00:51.054 --> 00:00:53.222
- I think body image with guys needs to be

00:00:53.222 --> 00:00:56.182
a much more open conversation.

00:00:56.182 --> 00:00:57.684
- And sometimes that just means listening.

00:00:57.684 --> 00:01:00.104
Sometimes that just means all you can do

00:01:00.104 --> 00:01:02.647
is let us handle things because

00:01:02.647 --> 00:01:04.607
that's what's working for us right now.
