Howard
Howard was born in Chicago, the 2nd son of German Jewish refugees. His first
memory is when Kennedy was shot in 1963. His second memory is of a family
picnic when a rainstorm came out of nowhere and he saved the brownies from
getting drenched.
Howard wants people to know that yes, even ‘successful’ Harvard MBA’s can
have eating issues. He never used the term ‘disorder’ since most people associate
an eating disorder with anorexia or bulimia, but says that having food as the focus
of one’s life, and not being able to stop shoveling it in even when over-full, is also
debilitating: emotionally as well as physically.
Howard loves brussel sprouts, broccoli and spinach, but also can eat a package
of ccc’s {chocolate chip cookies} in the blink of an eye. Through Over-Eaters
Anonymous, he has come to realize that it is as unhealthy to compulsively overeat
a bag of carrot sticks, as it is a cheesecake. Individual therapy is helping him
realize that not every gay male looks like a Calvin Klein underwear model. Cruzin
AOL M4M chatrooms has helped him realize that there are plenty of ‘hot’ guys who
find him ‘hot’ as well.
Howard enjoys his life as a self-employed real estate appraiser in San Francisco.
He is single, and looking forward to meeting a non-smoking, considerate man with
more than half a brain. His physical ‘type’ is a guy with a great, warm smile.
His participation in this film was predicated with the hope that if just one person
benefits from his story, then his sharing would have been all worthwhile.
