You may see thinness as something nice to have, or even an enticing goal. But in the mind of your daughter or son with an eating disorder, thinness is often much more than that. (Source: About.com Eating Disorders)

Forum Post of the Week: Health Versus Weightemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
How do you answer the question of health versus weight? If you had to choose, would you get your weight where you want it, or would you be physically healthy? As this forum thread suggests, many with eating disorders choose differently than one might expect. It's a concrete example of distorted thinking. We can get fooled (by advertisements, for example) into wanting something even though it isn't healthy for us. But those with eating disorders are willing to make a conscious choice to sacrifice health for weight loss or weight maintenance. Is weight loss the best goal for you? What don't you know about anorexia? The sy...

So you create a weight-loss drug, Alli, and put it in an environment in which it's supposed to be given to people who are overweight...and then it ends up in the hands of people who aren't overweight. It's not a case of people getting the stuff on some kind of black market. It's people buying it over the counter in Ireland. According to licensing conditions, pharmacists in Ireland can't sell Alli to anyone who's of normal weight or underweight. But eight out of 20 pharmacies sold the drug to a researcher who is well under the "overweight" threshold. Not a good situation. But I wonder: How is a customer supposed to verify...

Apparently, reports of the death of the "public option" in current health care legislation were premature. The House of Representatives passed a health are reform bill that includes a health insurance plan offered by the federal government. The new bill, the Affordable Health Care for America Act (H.R.3962), replaces the previous bill (H.R.3200) originated in the House. H.R.3962 passed by the slimmest of margins, but passed nonetheless. What would this bill mean for you if the Senate passes similar legislation and it becomes law? If you don't have insurance coverage now, you probably will. If you're a low-income American...

I feel compelled to comment on a quote from Karl Lagerfeld, head designer at Chanel. In response to the notion that some people would like to see more "normal"-sized models, Lagerfeld offered this: "No one wants to see curvy women...You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly." Is he saying that all fat women are mothers, or all mothers are fat? Both? Not clear. I'm also aware that Chanel advertises on those televisions pretty regularly. Hmm. Plenty more could be said about this statement; I'll leave that to you. My understanding is that Lagerf...

Here's something I hadn't thought about before. The definition of binge-eating disorder (BED) says that binges involve eating more food than most people would expect you to eat in a relatively short time. So what if all of the people in your world don't find your eating out of the ordinary? Another way of asking this question: Could the definition of BED be culturally-dependent? A blurb about a recent study suggests that black women meet BED criteria less often than white women. One of the project's researchers says, "These (black) women could be binge eating, but they may have less anxiety and distress surrounding their ...

Fashion Show Widens Its Scopeemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
The province of Quebec is on a road to a more balanced employment of women in fashion shows. Seven models of various sizes headlined Montreal Fashion Week recently, reinforcing Quebec's newly-adopted charter for a healthy and diverse body image. I especially like that Montreal Fashion Week employed models ranging from thin to plus-sized. Any of these sizes can be healthy, although many thin models in the world of high fashion get there via unhealthy eating behaviors. Employing models in a wide range of sizes highlights a desire to exclude no one and still promote health for everyone. The charter is non-binding, meaning t...

Talk about ambitious. Some grocery stores are using a nutritional rating method, called the NuVal system, that ranks every single food item in the store on a scale of 1 to 100. A 100 rating means that it offers the most nutrition. So, you might ask: What do they mean when they say "nutrition"? Doesn't this mean different things to different people? A team of 12 nutrition and health scientists developed a complex algorithm to rate all foods. Lead researcher Dr. David Katz, of the Yale University School of Medicine, says that people using the NuVal system should use it just as one would use a GPS system in finding a destin...
