Even his folks call him that. I used to get all weird about calling his house and asking for “Ogre” until his mom called him that in front of me.

He’s a pretty good egg. He’s started coming around to my dark and mysterious feminist ways and has even started pointing out misogynist bullshit that I had just ignored at background noise. And he’s super supportive. If I ask him to, he’ll text or call me at “meal times” to make sure I’m actually eating.

I’m happy the huz (I lurv that you call him “Ogre,” although at first I thought you might be referencing a pet!) is your ally, and that you’re your own ally enough to enlist his help when you need it. Do what you can to take care of yourself, whatever that means for you.

Right now I’m having issues fighting a relapse into disordered eating, because when I’m stressed out I just stop eating. Period. Fortunately, my husband knows how to prompt me into eating, and I’ve gotten good at telling when I’m going to need his help.

I have struggled with eating disorders since age 12 and it never fails to amaze me how rampant the misinformation and misperceptions about these diseases are.

The BBC covered a study of British eating disorder patients who feel that their general practitioners are not able to understand the disease ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7905223.stm ), and that definitely is true for a lot of doctors here in America.
