I don’t like to engage in too much celeb talk here because I know the Breaking the Mirror community doesn’t want to discuss those topics. (Generally, whenever I bring up a Hollywood star, comments and pageviews cease.)
But I really want to see if you think that Michael Jackson (aka, the King of Pop) has an eating disorder […]
There’s a wonderful post over at Mental Health Notes that I thought you might like to see.
Alicia, the ultra-blogger who runs the site, has a listing of female celebrities who’ve publicly confessed to battling mental illnesses.
I was most interested (though not entirely surprised) to note that along with the celebs’ depression, bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive […]
A few days ago, I blogged about Woody Harrelson’s ridiculous desire to go to a deserted island and fast for 40 days.
(Yeah, good luck with that, dude.)
Anyway, a comment on the post that I received from a gal named Sherrie was so incredibly poignant that I just had to get a better view of her friend’s […]
So many people believe that anorexia and bulimia were somehow “invented” in the 1970s or 1980s, but that’s far from the truth.
Check out these celebs who have admitted to having eating disorders before there was a name for their problem:
CATHY RIGBY, GYMNAST
SALLY FIELD, ACTRESS
SANDRA DEE, ACTRESS

Mia’s only a mythical entity, as we all know. She’s the embodiment of eating disorders, specifically bulimia. And she tends to pop up when families aren’t expecting a visit.
In my ongoing quest to talk about the pitfalls that so many moms and dads have experienced in raising their kids to be healthy inside and out, […]
Since we’ve been talking a bit about dads who aren’t keeping the best interests of their daughters at heart (see yesterday’s post on Billy Ray Cyrus), I thought we should absolutely include Hulk Hogan.
The Hulkster always appeared to be so protective of his daughter, Brooke, but was that all for the cameras and his own […]
I spoke earlier today about dads and the incredible influence they have on their daughters’ eating habits, body image and self-esteem. There’s really no doubt in my mind that they have an enormous influence on the health of the women they raise.
But let’s get beyond theory. Let’s talk real honest-to-goodness dads.
I’d like to start with Billy Ray Cyrus, mainly […]
Practically every anorexic (and I’m guessing this holds true for bulimics, too) has looked upon a starlet as a form of thinspiration.
I was no exception.
Even though I had an eating disorder in the days when dinosaurs freely roamed the earth, I still had my thinspo favorites. They included Cindy Crawford (who would probably look huge […]
… just let me know.
I’m not putting this here to offend anybody, so if you’re naturally thin, please know that I think you’re terrific. I just think it’s ironic that so many non-ED people see Kate Moss as a “twig”, while those with EDs (and I would have included myself in this category once-upon-a-time) see […]
I have the opportunity to look at many eating disorder and body image related websites every day. Sometimes, one is so bizarre that it catches my attention and sticks in my head.
This post, Why Photoshop is a Feminist’s Best Friend, by author Julie Burchill is one of the strangest articles I’ve seen.
In fact, I’m not […]
