Eating Disorders News
Welcome to our Eating Disorders News page.
I will attempt to keep this page updated as often as I can with any interesting and relevant news items that I come across. These might be from the many professional eating problem websites that I visit regularly to help inspire me in my work. Or they may be as I find them in the newspapers, on the television, in professional journals or anywhere else.
I will post items of news, stories, notices of upcoming events and conferences, the occasional book review, research reports, and anything I think will interest you, the visitor to Coping-With-Binge-Eating.com!
So expect to find everything and anything about Binge Eating, Bulimia, Compulsive Eating, Obesity, Anorexia Nervosa and more.
And you can post your own eating disorder news items here as well!
So maybe you work for an eating problem charity and have a fundraising event coming up, or you have read a particularly good article or story elsewhere that you would like to share with others…… whatever it is, as long as it is newsworthy, relevant and interesting (and not offensive in anyway) just scroll to the bottom of the page, complete the simple form and post it!
It will then be checked by our moderator (that’s me!) and will go live on the site as soon as possible.
You will also be able comment on any news item posted here. To do that, just click the link at the bottom of the article and get commenting!
So happy reading, and if you want to really keep up to date with all of this eating problem news, don’t forget you can add it to your RSS feed and you wont miss a thing!
