I don't have an eating disorder.

I just take a break from eating every so often.

You know, like, after I've eaten too much on vacation. Or, say after the Christmas holiday season. Like Gwyneth does. That's when I break out the Maple Cayenne Lemonade and substitute that...

I was feeling poorly this weekend, and so, for once in a long while, I had the luxury of outsourcing all of my chauffeuring duties to the husband and lying in bed with the newspaper. Like everyone else with access to any form of media, I read about Bernie Madoff....

In my opinion, ALL diet crazes are inherently evil. Basically, I don't believe in dieting at all. I believe in eating right for your body, which includes eating no more than your body needs to maintain a healthy weight. At the age of 43, I've pretty much figured out what...

Well, I think it is safe to say that by now, we've all been downsized.

Even if you still have your job, even if you invest your funds under your mattress rather than in the stock market, you're feeling the effects of our country's current fiscal crisis. Maybe you...

You know who you are. You never do less than two things at once. You read while you eat. You check your email while you're on a conference call. You're restless, and it works for you because you get things done. And when it comes to calming your mind, you...

(Lauren Cahn is busy applying to grad school this week, so she asked her dog, Lewis, to pinch hit. Lauren asked him to write about "Doga" - partner yoga, where your dog is your partner. But he seems to have come up with...

In some yoga circles, it is traditional to perform 108 "Sun Salutations" upon the change of seasons, that is, on the first day of summer (the Summer Solstice), the first day of winter (the Winter Solstice), the first day of spring and the first day of autumn (the Vernal and...

Do you want to be lose weight? Because chances are, you probably do. Let's face it. You do. Even if you don't need to, you probably want to. And apart from those who simply want to, there is a huge population of people that actually need to.

Now, maybe I'm...

Do you know someone who suffers from money-rexia?

"Money-rexia" is characterized by the belief that one can never be rich enough and the concurrent and irrational fear that one will become destitute, notwithstanding substantial evidence to the contrary. Money-rexics tend to be individuals who have amassed enough wealth to...

If you watch Mad Men, or even Saturday Night Live, then you know that Donald Draper, nee Dick Whitman, knows how to pick up women. He knows how to play his career cards right. Hell, he somehow knows how to turn pissing his own pants into surviving a...

I know that many women consider John McCain's having chosen Sarah Palin as a running mate to be an insult to women. You know, throw any woman at them, and they'll vote for her ticket. And if you read my Palin Fatigue ...

Who would ever have thought that the marriage wouldn't last?

I mean, I saw Truth or Dare -- you know, that documentary that had cameras following Madonna around during her Truth or Dare Tour, allowing us to take a peak at her relationships with her dancers, her then boyfriend...

I recently attended a two-day workshop with a world-renowned yoga teacher...whose name I'm sure you do not know. Even though he is something of celebrity in the yoga community, especially the Ashtanga yoga community, his fame is limited thusly. Not that being famous matters, per se. But the fact that...

Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about Sarah Palin?

As a general rule, I am not a fan of bible-thumping, moose-hunting, gay-marriage and pro-choice-opposing, tough-question-dodging, maverick-emulating politicians. And I don't love the idea that this particular one could be our next vice president, because she certainly...

If you read my recent Huff posting, Breast Cancer Sucks and You Could Die From It, then you already know that I have a very special aversion to October, more commonly known these days as "Breast Cancer Awareness Month". And you also know...

"Hello How are you doing? hope all is well with you. I am sorry that i didn't inform you about my traveling to England for a program called Empowering youth to fight racism,Hiv/Aids,and lack of education. I need a favour from you as soon as you recieve this e-mail because...

As we wind towards October, the very pinkest month of the year, the month when the media bombards us with breast cancer news, breast cancer survivor stories, breast cancer foot races, breast cancer bracelets, breast cancer blah blah blah, I find myself feeling rather cross.

You see, it's all quite...

I woke up this morning with visions of bright yellow, happy-faced school buses dancing in my head. It's back to school! And we all know what that means... hours and hours of freedom each day to pursue grown-up avocations while the children are busy with their organized educational activities!

I read that Christina Applegate elected to have both of her breasts removed as the treatment for her breast cancer, as well as to prevent ever getting breast cancer in her other breast. To that I say, BRAVO!!!!

I also understand that Christina is going to have her...

Once upon a time, when it was still considered de rigueur to append "...and the City" to just about any word or phrase (in an effort to borrow a whiff of hipness from that certain ubiquitous HBO Original Series and its foursome of archetypal female characters), women everywhere donned...
