Ioana’s unusually thin waist is something that came to her in a completely natural way. During her teenage years, Ioana struggled to cope with the fact that her waist was so thin.

Jeremy Gillitzer was an american who is known to be an American model, he also has a problem with eating, this was according to a man who was writing a story about man eating disorder. He also stated; This was a revelation to me knowing that I was not the only man in the world with an eating disorder and in fact probably one of many in a similar situation. Jeremy’s story that particularly resonated with me and provided me with the reason (or permission) to challenge that eating disorders could affect men.
In the time when size zero was widely being debated in the media, it re-affirmed the commonly accepted stereotype that eating disorders was a female only issue. The focus seemed focused entirely on anorexia linked to fashion, catwalks, celebrity culture and so on.
As a bulimic young man in recovery I related with none of it or had a feeling I may not be the only one.Since the age of 12 Jeremy developed eating disorders after being bullied at school for being ‘chubby.’ For over 25 years he had endured the illnesses and was hospitalised on numerous occasions but was unable to fully recover.
Despite his struggles he wanted to share his story with others to show the devastating effects. Jeremy was committed to sharing his experiences to help others. We exchanged an email dialogue for some time before he died. He often discussed his desire to write a book and speaking tour for professionals.
This idea inspired the MGEDT Workshop Tour 2012/13 and continues in 2014 in his legacy. Nearly four years on, it still saddens me immensely that Jeremy had passed away. I only ever got to know Jeremy through emails, yet it almost felt as if we had met. Through our correspondence it struck me how much of a lovely and warm hearted person he was.
