All You Need to Know About Eating Disorders
We live in a strange world. It seems that everyone has to be skinny to be beautiful. And the constant popping up of new trendy diets (usually bad diets) almost every week that promises you'll lose weight fast, it might seem anyone can lose weight quickly and without much efforts. The problem with these diets is that they tend to be ineffective and they might even be dangerous for your health, both on short and long term...
Noticing and Acknowledging Your Emotions Empowers Change
After eating naturally for 20 years I now know that I used to use food to control my emotions. I was completely unable to cope with a lot of things that had happened in my life. So instead of acknowledging them and allowing myself to feel loss, sadness, and grief I ate instead.
Let's Beat Bulimia
Removing the Bulimia Blinkers... A horse wears blinkers to stop them seeing either behind them, or from being distracted by what's going on beside them; their vision is restricted to see only what's ahead... in front of their eyes... Recently new psychological approaches developed around the well-documented and researched Time Perspective Theories (TPT), as developed by Professor Philip Zimbardo and his team at Stanford University in San Francisco USA, coupled with the new scientific research and understanding in the field of Neuroplasticity (NP), may together offer a radical new approach in the treatment of Bulimia.
Caring For A Daughter With Anorexia
When an apparently happy teenage girl, doing well at a good school, is diagnosed with anorexia, it comes as a great shock to the parents. The immediate reaction is to wonder what one has done wrong to bring about this situation but there is little time to ponder. A team of experts takes over the life of the family and dictates the terms and conditions under which life will go on. The treatment has two main aspects: dietary control and psychological counselling. On these twin tracks victim and helpers enter a dark tunnel in which it is impossible to see any light from the other end.
The Hardest Thousand Words I Have Ever Written
This is really hard for me to write. It is a complete departure from what I usually write, and it's bearing my true self more than I have ever before, so please be kind and bear with me as I write these really hard 1000 words. A little over a year ago I was on the road in Dallas working with The Marvel Experience.
Male Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphia
The game was going on the scales. John (a fictional character), was due to weigh himself. Another morning "normal" ritual. And evening ritual, all normal, of course.
How You Can Increase Metabolism After Bulimia
Before I was able to whip bulimia, I had been afraid that many years of binging and making myself sick already had destroyed my metabolism permanently! I believed that a bulimia free existence ensured I would need to live on lettuce to stop my body weight from ballooning uncontrollably.

Overcoming Emotional Eating: Getting to the Bottom of Your Feelings So You Don't Eat Them
Most of us have a very strong emotional bond with food. Enjoying food is completely healthy, but turning to food to fix emotional problems is not the answer. There is a way to prevent this from happening so that you get to the root of the real issue instead of looking to food for the answer. Not only will food not fix the problem, but it will make it even worse.
Vulnerability Can Be Scary, But It Can Also Bring Your Greatest Joy
This is a very interesting topic which funnily enough keeps coming up for me. I spent 20 years of my life ensuring I didn't show my vulnerability. I was extremely uncomfortable sharing my emotions or letting anyone get too close to me. In my eyes I actually had good reason to be as I had experienced a great deal of loss as a child. I now know that I thought, "Well if I don't get close to people then there is no chance of the people I love leaving me or dying"
