Perhaps one of the most troublesome symptoms of anorexia nervosa and other restrictive eating disorders–especially for family members and treatment professionals—is the patient’s belief that he or she is not ill. The common consequence of not believing one is ill is that he or she does not want to get well.

As far back as 1873, Ernest-Charles Lasègue, a French doctor who was one of the first to describe anorexia nervosa, wrote: “’I do not suffer and must then be well,’ is the monotonous formula.” Clinical…

People said she was promoting starvation and disordered eating by going on a juice cleanse after returning from Mexico.…

A little-known eating disorder – called avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (Arfid) – can have a severe, lifelong impact on eating habits. This condition gained a lot of attention in 2019 after it emerged that a teenage boy in the UK suffered irreversible sight and hearing loss after years of only eating crisps, chips, and white bread. More than just a case of “picky eating”, the teen suffered from Arfid and stuck to his narrow diet because the texture…
I don’t even know where to begin. It’s 3 1/2 weeks post discharge and just about everything feels out of control right now. And I think we all know how I react when I feel like things are getting out of control…My weight is officially the lowest it’s been in a couple of years, so there’s that. Part of me is ecstatic about that, and the other part of me is nervous that I might soon start to slide down a slippery slope that I know in my head is dangerous and will only cause more problems than I already…

After reaching her goal weight in 2020, Rebel Wilson is revealing how — and why — she decided to get serious about her health. “It’s been, like, a little bit over a year from when I first started and I want you to, first of all, know that I’m not frickin’ perfect about it,” the 40-year-old actress began on Tuesday, December 1, via Instagram Live. “It’s not like I’ve had some incredible discipline and I’m just, like, every day restricted or worked out like a beast.
