Here’s just a little snippet: Healthy weight is good; unhealthy weight loss is not. This is a […]
Body-Image issues for men

While my focus in this blog and in my career in general has always been womens’ self-esteem and body image issues, that is not because I have ever believed that men do not have body-image issues as well.

WTF, Marie Claire? Stop Size-ism in the Media!
November 2, 2010
The internet is buzzing about Maura Kelly’s recent blog entry for Marie Claire entitled, “Should ‘Fatties’ Get a Room?

Guilt or pleasure? Are you ready to rethink how you relate to food?
September 10, 2010
Do you find yourself beating yourself up for what you are eating rather than taking pleasure in the deliciousness of your food?
