This problem is no longer just for the girls and women. My son is now 11 and it's a balance for me being proud of my body and making sure I don't contribute to him having unhealthy expectations of himself. I just wrote a piece about how young males are having body-image issues. Bigorexia is the term used when males have eating disorders in an attempt to get bigger.
