The venue still vibrates from the power of bass and echoes from the fans still linger in the air as the spotlight shines onto an empty stage. This is the one place in the world that Disney star Demi Lovato feels like she is meant to be.
“Music is what I love to do, music is my life, like it runs in my veins,” said Lovato in her documentary, “Demi Lovato: Stay Strong,” which aired on MTV on Tuesday, March 2, 2012.
With a shaky voice and tear-filled eyes, Lovato poured her heart out to a camera that recorded her every move, tear and emotion since her time in Timberline Knolls Treatment Center a year ago.
Now, she shares those moments with the public.

They can navigate you safely to your destination, identify a song playing in the background, and keep you busy with endless games while riding the bus to work or school, but some Smart Phone applications are not so helpful and could become harmful to their users. Eating disorder experts have observed that new handheld applications, designed to aid users in reaching weight loss goals, can easily perpetuate a serious eating disorder (ED) or become the catalyst for the development of an ED in those who are at-risk....

WASHINGTON - Food hijacked Dr. David Kessler's brain.
Not apples or carrots. The scientist who once led the government's attack on addictive cigarettes can't wander through part of San Francisco without craving a local shop's chocolate-covered pretzels. Stop at one cookie? Rarely.
It's not an addiction but it's similar, and he's far from alone. Kessler's research suggests millions share what he calls "conditioned hypereating" — a willpower-sapping drive to eat high-fat, high-sugar foods even when they're not hungry.
In a book being published next week, the former Food and Drug Administration chief brings to consumers the disturbing conclusion of numerous brain studies: Some people really do have a harder time resisting bad foods. It's a new way of looking at the obesity epidemic that could help spur fledgling movements to reveal calories on restaurant menus or rein in portion sizes.
"The food industry has figured out what works. They know what drives people to keep on eating," Kessler tells The Associated Press. "It's the next great public health campaign, of changing how we view food, and the food industry has to be part of it."
He calls the culprits foods "layered and loaded" with combinations of fat, sugar and salt — and often so processed that you don't even have to chew much.WASHINGTON - Food hijacked Dr. David Kessler's brain.

I've always noticed that, when walking through a Whole Foods, or an Outpost, or some other health food store, that the shoppers look despondent and gloomy. I often wonder why people who can regularly purchase five dollar cartons of eggs can look so sad; turns out they may have some sort of eating disorder.

Kristin hid her binge eating disorder for a few years from me (yes, I'm her husband). In fact, she hid it from everyone. After a lot of trial and error, she finally beat her disorder a few years ago, and she's been helping others overcome Binge Eating Disorder ever since.
We decided to create a short video about her struggles and showed the food she ate during a typical binge in an effort to reach out and help more people.
Binge Eating is the # 1 eating disorder in the US. It's also the most lonely. I'm really proud of how far my wife has come and amazed at how many people she's helped overcome Binge Eating as well.
Kristin (my wife) is the one in the video and I'm the one recording it and talking to her in the video.

"Some teenagers think "if they become thin, or get an eating disorder, they will be popular," said Kreipe, the medical director at the Western New York Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders in Rochester.
While Kreipe had seen this phenomenon before, only recently has it acquired a name: wannarexia.
Most commonly found among teenage girls, wannarexia is a label describing those who claim to have anorexia, or wish they did. While wannarexia hasn't been studied, experts say a growing number of girls have a misguided desire to be anorexic to gain popularity or to lose weight.""Some teenagers think "if they become thin, or get an eating disorder, they... more
