Does the way you feel about your body affect your sex life?
Welcome today's guest blogger, Kate Taylor. Kate edited a book due out on September 9 called "Going Hungry: Writers on Desire, Self-Denial, and Overcoming Anorexia." In it, 18 writers describe why they became anorexic--or, in two cases, bulimic--and how they were able to recover.
Although Margarita's history with food (bingeing) and mine (self-starvation) are different, in reading her blog, I've been struck by how much we have in common. Eating--or not eating, in my case--was a way to detach from our bodies. Read More »

Yes, that's me in a bathing suit. Yes, I'm sober. No, I can't believe I'm doing this.
The bathing suits I ordered for my trip arrived yesterday; after my last bathing suit ordeal, I decided I'd order a bunch of suits I could try on at home and then return the ones that didn't work. Since I live alone, I had no one to weigh in on which suit was best (if any?)--and then I... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (797) | Blog

Passport photos: Then and now!

Do You Ever Want to Give Up?
Of course I've had moments of wanting to throw my hands up during this whole journey... moments of wanting to never wiggle my hips into a pair of spandex and tie up my gym sneakers again...moments of wanting to throw away my steel-cut oatmeal and my measuring cups and eat my way through a...

Do you blame your childhood for your food issues?
I went to dinner with a friend last night, and as we ordered our dressing on the side and our hard-boiled eggs with the yolks removed and tried to push aside the surplus of our self-allotted 4 ounces of grilled chicken (no cigar with that one; we both cleaned plate!), we started to talk about just...

Do you eat more when you're alone?
Happy Monday, guys! I am not even a little bit rested from the weekend, and I realized this morning during training with Lacey just why. Since I know my overeating tendencies tend to be heightened when I'm alone (specifically, at home alone), I've started to fill practically every second of...

Therapy: Can a shrink help you shrink?
I recently met with a behavioral therapist for a consultation called--shocker--"Relationships with Food." I'll be the first to admit that although I have managed to lose weight, I still have food issues--and I'm committed to making a breakthrough no matter how long it takes. The...
