Links to devour!
Please note I am keeping my links list small at this time as to not overwhelm people searching for information on this subject, an excellent but short list:
Eating Disorders
• Eating Disorders On Line: This web page has it all: the latest articles on eating disorders, personal accounts (some great poems!), all the facts, a section on celebrities with eating disorders (which I am proud to have worked on!), a huge links list, and an Anorexic Photo Gallery of its own for educational purposes. Plus recent news about eating disorders and research. A MUST SEE!
• The Something Fishy Web Site on Eating Disorders: If you haven't been to this site already, you ought to go, it is one of the biggest and best sites on eating disorders that the planet has to offer. I met Amy, the amazing web master, nearly four years ago when she was just starting her page, and told her about my friend Caron. Her web site (as well as the Caron section) has grown into a simply stunning world of information and connection, with up-to-the-minute information, bulletins, personal accounts (of both recovering and still struggling), and thevery powerful Memorial Site for people who have died from ALL THREE eating disorders. If you are looking to find an e-mail pal who is in the same situation as you, try the Remember It Hurts section.
• Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center The Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of eating disorders. We provide information about, and treatment resources for all forms of eating disorders. Our goal is to promote social attitudes that enhance healthy body image and work to overcome the idealization of thinnessthat contributes to disordered eating.

Not About Eating Disorders:
• This Fallen Fiction: Music, art, philosophy, and more refreshing honesty from the man who designed my site (see the photo of Jason below)! Beautiful lyrics, beautiful thoughts, and a beautiful page, by a beautiful man. A rare combination. Worth a trip, and a nice break from all this talk about eating disorders... we can't forget that there are other things in life worth investigating. To hear cuts from this fallen fiction's forth coming albums click here now!!!!!
* Dual Eden: I sing backups in a band, and I have spent the past two years working on a great CD called Underside which is available to hear and buy over the net! This sensual, dark, lush alternative pop band has a great following locally and performs in L.A. regularly. Soon I will post some of the lyrics I have written for Dual Eden. This site is great, well organized and if you haven't heard the sounds of this powerful group, I encourge you to visit Dual Eden. You can hear me singing backups on the Underside CD! Here is a picture of me and the band.
