When exercise becomes dangerous.

There's also a list with signs and symptoms of exercise addiction for you to use.

Enjoy!

Check out my new Body of Evidence post:

What We're (Not) Eating.

In reality, the health kick fits the eating disorder mentality perfectly. For some reason, it seems to be important to some people with eating disorders that the food restriction is socially sanctioned. After all, we are people who generally place a premium on the opinions of others. So we use or concoct schemes by which others will give us a good, solid pat on the back while we starve, binge, and purge.

Another AED conference update, this time on my Body of Evidence blog at Psychology Today:

The common thread in successful eating disorder treatment.

Read, share, comment, and enjoy!

I am currently in Miami, attending the 2011 International Conference on Eating Disorders. Several deadlines and spending most of today traveling meant that I haven't had much time to blog until just now.

I have a new post on Body of Evidence called Rethinking Recovery. Yes, PJ, this is the post I promised you. A little delayed, but better late than never, right? I get paid based on page views, so visit early and visit often! LOL

In other news, I got to meet the wonderful Julie O'Toole in person for the first time, and was totally flattered to hear her and her husband say that they hoped I would be attending because they really wanted to meet me. That's almost like having George Clooney say he was looking forward to meeting me. Swoon!

Tomorrow is a full day of talks, interviewing, and schmoozing, so it's bedtime for me. I will be live Tweeting the conference, and you can follow my ED Bites Twitter feed or just search for the hashtag #aed11
