'I know from my own experience how difficult it can be for those struggling with eating disorders — especially men.'
Now that I am recovered, I aspire to become a registered dietitian within the realm of eating disorders. I recently completed my second semester in a dietetics coordinated program. I know from my own experience how difficult it can be for those struggling with eating disorders, — especially men. I want to use my experience to work within a profession where I can offer support from a personal standpoint.
Last year I traveled to England, completing a one-of-a-kind Master’s degree in eating disorders and clinical nutrition, as it is currently the only program of its kind worldwide. It is my hope that having this degree will make me more marketable and competitive for a job as a dietitian specializing in eating disorders. Living in England was the furthest and longest time I had ever been away from my parents, but I did not let my cerebral palsy get in the way.
Completing the dietetics program will be the last piece of education I am required to have in order to begin the career I aspire to do, in which I will be able to help many people. I know from my own experience if I would have had a dietitian that had personal experience and could relate to the high level of emotions and fear I was experiencing, it would have made recovery a lot easier.
For years, I have done volunteer work with the National Eating Disorders Association , in an effort to help those struggling with eating disorders. Additionally, while in England, I volunteered with a UK charity involved with raising awareness of eating disorders in men . Additionally, one of my long-term goals is to open an eating disorder treatment center for males, as there is currently only one nationwide.
