In: Binge-Eating Disorder|Bulimia|Eating Disorders|Greta|Recovery
17 Feb 2009In the March 2009 issue of Fitness Magazine, writer Colleen Oakley confesses her struggles about being a borderline binger. Unlike those who meet the clinical criteria of BED, which clinically defines BED as “eating larger amounts of food than normal during a two-hour period at least twice a week for six months,” Colleen doesn’t quiet [...]
Fattest cities in America – BED?
19 Jan 2009Editor note: Please welcome Greta, a new contributor to Disordered Times! What do you think is the fattest city in America? Detroit? Phoenix? Kansas City? Los Angeles? Well, according to Men’s Fitness Magazine, Miami takes the cake. Surprised? I have to say the results made my face respond in such a way that could drive [...]
Bulimia doesn’t get much billing in media column spaces. Anorexia often gets the lion’s share of attention, in part, because it’s seen as the more “glamorous” of the two eating disorders. Eating disorders are also still commonly perceived as a “woman’s disease,” or rather, a “girl’s disease” (eating disorders are most common in adolescents, but [...]

In: Eating Disorders|General|Legislation|Rachel|Recovery|Therapy|Treatment
3 Dec 2008Earlier this summer I reported on Illinois’ House Bill 1432, which mandates health insurance companies to pay for the treatment of anorexia and bulimia. Now another new program offers help to the estimated 1.1 million Illinoisians with an eating disorder. The National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) and volunteers from Chicago-based Timberline Knolls have teamed up [...]

Binge eating disorder in the news
In: Binge-Eating Disorder|Eating Disorders|Rachel|Recovery|Treatment
23 Nov 2008Anorexia and bulimia often get the lion’s share of eating disorder attention and resources, but its estimated that the numbers of people with binge eating disorder eclipses both of these conditions. Binge eating disorder rarely makes the news, it seems, but there’s new articles up over at Eating-Disorder.com on what constitutes BED and on the [...]
Is the economy making you sicker?
10 Oct 2008A recent New York Times health headline asks, “Is the economy making you ill? An economic crisis can exact a toll on health, especially those people who already occupy the lowest rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. Eating disorder treatment can be costly and difficult to wrangle with insurance companies even during boom times. As insurance [...]
I bring you good tidings from the state of Illinois, where House Bill 1432 has been passed by the Illinois House of Representatives! I reported on this bill in June while it was “under review” by Ill. Governor Rod Blagojevich and encouraged readers to contact the governor encouraging him to sign it into law. Only [...]

About this blog
This is a blog where a roster of three regular writers and several guest writers comment on the latest news about eating disorders. It isn’t just a news feed, nor a personal journal – it’s a hybrid of both. We discuss the news with our own personal spin.
We aren’t journalists or outsiders looking in. We have eating disorders. We know about this illness because we live it. Some of us are thoroughly active in our eating disorders while some are in recovery. Most are in some state in between.
Nothing is off-limits in terms of coverage. We write about everything from the onset of eating disorders to the long-term consequences thereof. We write about all eating disorders, not just anorexia and bulimia. And we write media reviews, short stories, and whatever comes to mind in relation to current events.
This does mean, however, that we may bring up some sensitive topics — things like abuse, rape, self-injury, etc., so tread carefully. We’ll tag posts with the appropriate warning label whenever possible.
Readers are encouraged to comment and participate in the discussion. Just click on the “comments” link under any entry.
