I am kind of a blog statistics freak in that I love to see which Breaking the Mirror posts attract visitors time and again.
Consequently, I thought I’d share the top posts (as of today, May 31, 2008) by their month of origin:

Okay, you love your body.
No, you hate your body.
Wait… it’s both.
That’s typical, right?
Yup, but let’s face it… your body is the only one you’ve been given. So grin and bear it, change it a little here and there, add a tattoo or piercings… but never forget to admire it for its many intrinsic attributes.

Ana loves moms (and dads) who ignore her presence. She absolutely adores them. In fact, they keep her going strong day-in, day-out.
So to shake things up, let’s throw a monkey wrench in her plans.
Rather than playing the role of the naive mommy, why don’t we all ban together and educate ourselves on the realities of […]

How many times can I tell parents to be on the lookout for signs of eating disorders in their children, even those who seem “too young” to be worried about such a thing as having the “perfect” body?
If you’re a mom, dad, grandparents or guardian, it’s time to open your eyes and watch out for […]

Okay, that’s a total lie. I don’t like cellulite at all. It drives me bonkers and I wish I could eradicate it forever from my derriere and upper thighs.
However, an interesting thought occurred to me as I showered this morning, trying not to hate my body while simultaneously being driven to distraction by the “dimples” […]

So… did your mom or dad say that? Perhaps a grandparent or an aunt? Did it bug you, annoy you, anger you?
We parents say so many things without thinking.
Even though my son is very young, I worry that if I make a big deal out of the itsy-bitsy amount he ate for dinner, he’ll spiral […]

Is it possible that you could save the life of an anorexic, bulimia or binge eater?
Maybe.
You’ll never know if you don’t attack the problem in some small way.
To help you build your anti-ED arsenal, I’d like to suggest that everyone adopt the following philosophies:

Happy National Eating Disorders Awareness Week! From February 24 - March 1, plenty of bloggers, media personnel and ED education and awareness advocates will be talking about anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, EDNOS and everything in between.
Without a doubt, it’s exciting and it’s wonderful to be living in an age where EDs are “out of […]
