We have all had tragedy, trauma, or hardships happen to us in life. It’s what I like to call a “situation.” A situation to me is an event, followed by an outcome. Life likes to throw us so many curve balls and loves to do it when we least expect it. All animals and humans [...]

COMPULSIVE OVEREATING: THICK CRUST TASTES JUST THE SAME AS THIN
Ever since I was little the word “Skinny” has been a major part of my vocabulary. Nowadays it’s no different because as a society we seem to be obsessed with it as well. We have Skinny jeans, Skinny Girl Cocktails, Skinny Cow ice cream. We associate that word with so much. Like it makes us [...]
BODY IMAGE AND EATING DISORDERS…HEALTHY BODY IMAGE FOR DUMMIES
The other day I was in a famous clothing store and fell in love with a fierce snakeskin top I saw in the store window. I went to go find it and, to my remiss, found out I was not the only person with good fashion taste as they were all sold out. With much [...]
BODY IMAGE ISSUES: DON’T ASK US, AND WE WON’T TELL
Girls we have all done it at one time in our life. Our boyfriends or husbands are sitting on the bed just having a happy relaxing day and we walk in to try something on, or to take something off, or we simply look in the mirror while we are brushing our teeth. Suddenly out [...]
RECOVERING FROM AN EATING DISORDER…LIVE AND LET DIE
The best definition I ever heard for “forgiveness” was that you don’t have to forget what someone has done to you, but you have to let go of the hope that the past can be changed. I have been hurt by a lot of people in my life, and I let that hurt start living [...]

Eating Disorders Treatment Options: Focusing on Health
During an interview with iVillage’s Kelly Wallace, First Lady Michelle Obama discussed the topic of body image. It’s my hope that her words will serve to inspire fellow parents to adopt her perspective. She spoke candidly that when discussing food with her daughters Sasha and Malia she doesn’t speak in terms of which foods make [...]
EATING DISORDERS AND SOCIETY…PLAYBOY BUNNIES DON’T LIVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
I grew up as a young girl whose aspirations where never put on what I had in brains, but what I had in body. I was raised by my mother who once told me that I could never be too rich or too thin. While most of my friends in high school were taking the [...]
CELEBRITIES AND BODY IMAGE…HOWARD YOU CAN KISS MY GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL ASS.
I have been listening to Howard Stern since back when I was in college. By listen, I mean could hardly tolerate the “shock jock’s” snarky remarks and over-the-line comments he made on his syndicated radio show. I know show business and there are a lot of people like Madonna, Dennis Rodman, and Lady Gaga whose [...]
