When stand up comedian Dave Chawner went days without eating, or exercised manically in his bedroom as a teenager, it wasn't about how he looked.
Chawner says for him anorexia was about taking control of something in his life when everything else seemed out of his control.
He spent years struggling with the eating disorder until he got help and found a way to cope using humor on the stage.
He shares his insights into the disease and his practical tips for overcoming it in his book, Weight Expectations: One Man's Recovery from Anorexia
