Books: MY THINNING YEARS: Starving the Gay Within

MY THINNING YEARS: Starving the Gay Within is the gripping true story of Jon Derek Croteau, Ed.D., a man who struggled with his own sexual identity while trying to earn the love and respect of his emotionally abusive father. 

Ashamed, Jon decided there was only one way to rid himself of the feelings that grew inside him: to starve them out. He felt compelled to punish himself for who he was and soon grew an insecure perception of himself to the point that anorexia, bulimia, and obsessive running became an everyday routine. This deadly combination threatened his life until he found peace and love, which saved his life.
