Eating Disorder thinking seems to be ignored by FDA advisors. The newest advisory coming out of the FDA on Medscape News runs this headline over a thorough article by Michael O'Riordan: FDA Advisors Recommend Approval of Obesity Drug Qnexa.

I found a "Called Out" comment on Forbes Magazine attacking obese people outrageous. I address it here.

Meghan Casserly has a wonderful article, "Eating Disorders and the Executive Woman," running in Forbes Magazine. She describes the call to anorexia that many professional women answer by restricting themselves to the point of endangering their health and way of life. But she doesn't address the call to overeat or binge eat that creates overweight or obesity.

The outrageous comment contains this excerpt:

When body dissatisfaction leads to body obsession, you create an invisible prison for yourself that is stronger than steel and stone. This is true regardless of whether you suffer from an eating disorder.

But what if you didn't know you were in prison?  How could you plan an effective escape?
