I felt the need to respond to the notion that giving him exactly what he wants might make things better, particularly to someone's post that if things don't get better with him getting it whenever he wants, then you demand counseling. I think it is dangerous to take that approach, to trick him...

RE: A question for those who deal with anxiety and pani... Sorry it has taken so long for me to answer the question you asked! About looking for a therapist, you can find them through APA and other organizations online; many psychologists will not have advertised on these though. You can find...

I'm a clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety and eating disorders, and there is a very effective and fairly short term therapy for panic disorder. It takes about 4 months of once per week therapy and is homework intensive (meaning you do a lot of work outside the session- which is a MAJOR...

Is it possible you are overtraining? Not being able to complete your typical workouts due to fatigue or getting too winded is one of the signs, and always happens to me when I am in overtraining territory...

I am getting married outdoors next week in Mobile Alabama (which means its gonna be hot and humid). I never wear foundation, so I'm clueless what to buy for the big day. I am looking for something water based or that definitely won't cause a break out, light, and that won't slide off my face in...

WOW! I am actually getting married next week, and I guess now I can think of myself as a classy chick since it never occurred to me to milk my guests for everything they are worth! Also, I have already begun writing my thank you notes. Where do you think people get ideas like these? Have we...

Little Angel, I want to stress to you that you did not cause her eating disorder. The factors bringing about eating disorders are so complex that there is not one thing that causes them. I know there's an easy tendency to look back and wonder what you could have done differently, and maybe...

Great topic! I am a clinical psychologist in Alabama who specializes in eating disorders, and therefore have strong opinions that echo the statements of others around here. Yes, your children are exposed to so much more than just your messages, but at a young age in particular, parental...

RE: How do you deal with a I have the same problems sometimes with mine. I think its a reaction to some sort of insecurity - being right makes him feel better. Lots of times I just tune him out or let him know that I don't think he is even listening to what I have to say so I'm not interested...

So excited! Today is my big grocery shopping day, time to load up on ETL foods! I have a huge grocery list, and plans for what to make for dinner tonight plus extra for the week. My body is ready for this!

I'm planning to start this too, so I'm glad to hear this! I am getting married in 6 weeks or so, so I'm really hopeful I'll be able to see some change by then. Question for Eat-to-Live people...his recipes look great, but I'd like even more recipes that are consistent with his plan. Anyone...

Also, to add to what has already been said, you have to vary your workouts or your body just adapts and you don't reap as many benefits. I don't recall how long you said you've been doing that workout, but if it is the same one (or even the same type of workout) varying it up could help (what...

Thanks Susan, how did you find out about it? It's really hard to believe!

Has anyone read the most recent Oxygen? In the letters section at the beginning, several people are writing in their disappointment about Kelly Ryan and her husband, who apparently are implicated in a murder - anyone know more than this? So curious...

How simple are the recipes in terms of time, ingredients, skill, etc...? I may have to spring for this cookbook...
