On Being Kind To Yourself

I was originally going to write about Michelle Obama’s crusade to tackle childhood obesity (which I think is great, and I think people need to calm down about the supposed “diet” she put her family on…but more on that later) but I feel like addressing something else first.

Augsburg College ED Awareness Week Event

ED Memoir Survey–Please Help

Dear readers, Please consider helping a grad student in sociology collect data about how people with eating disorders use and view ED memoirs. It does not take much time at all, and it’s easy. I don’t think anyone else has ever done a study on this, and it’s something that needs to be addressed. I’m [...]
