The holidays can be pretty indulgent - decadent meals, cocktail parties, and dessert after dessert to savor. Add to that stressful gift shopping, holidays spent away for home, and workouts being replaced with entertaining and suddenly you've gotten completely off track with your health. Before you beat yourself up for having that second piece of pumpkin pie, take a deep breath and tell yourself it's...

"I think your cat is bleeding?" "What?!" Even in a feverish haze those words are enough to spring me into an adrenaline rush. My mind and body and now synched up along a perfect axis and I am now in concerned pet-parent mode. Regardless of the fact I've been unable to even crawl out of bed without becoming exhausted I have now thrown off the blankets, jumped over the couch and run...

When Kate Moss revealed in a recent interview that one of her mottoes is the phrase "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels", a number of people contacted me to ask my response to this in light of my Skinny Mummies post. In case you haven't read my post, it basically says that I use to be a skinny mummy and now I'm a healthy one which I feel makes me a much better role model for my daughter....

Thanksgiving is perhaps the holiday that inspires the most amount of anxiety and fear in the hearts of those (Americans) with eating disorders, especially those of us with bingeing disorders like bulimia or BED who know we can eat the feast twice over and then some. We've discussed tips and advice for the holidays here before, but I got a note from the Eating Recovery Center of Colorado this week with...

Eating Disorders: A Sad Truth I posted this article because i think more people are getting the wrong idea about eating disorders and it'd be really nice to see them actually have some of the facts instead of all this fiction you can find on the web.

Yet again medical science is testing those darn boundaries; this time the drug is LSD. Then again, medicine was considering the ways LSD might have therapeutic value a long time ago. In the 1970s LSD research was banned out of fear that it caused mental illness. As the Guardian reported, “A growing number of people are taking LSD and other psychedelic drugs such as cannabis and ecstasy to help...

Performance are a Manchester 3-piece that specialise in 80's-tinged electro-pop. The last few years has seen them go from major label acts, to being dropped without releasing anything.

In conversations and debates on eating disorders, binge eating disorder (BED) is often the odd disorder out, even though BED is estimated to affect about 10 percent of the U.S. population, eclipsing both anorexia (one percent) and bulimia (four percent). In fact, BED has yet to even be recognized as an official disorder unto itself; it's currently lumped into the ED-NOS category in the DSM-IV.* So,...

A newer appetite suppressant , known as sibutramine,has been approved as safe....
