Economy, War, and Now...

It's not just young women (and some men) with eating disorders. There have been recent reports of girls as young as 9 being admitted into the hospital for them, as well as some elderly people (Some over 60)! Another sad report began with this: 4 in every 10 US women under 31 partake in self-injury while they are under the influence of an eating disorder. That's like, a test on top of mounds of homework for the onlookers, but for the participant, it's like therapy that doesn't cost a dime. But, here's some information to those restricting their calorie intake: That piece of chocolate birthday cake won't ruin your diet. Your body regulates itself, and studies show that you'll fix it later. So don't freak out about indulging your sweet tooth occasionally; not doing so could stress you (Like me, who loves chocolate. Making it "off-limits" would make me fat with stress!) into weight gain.
