More Women Over 40 Suffer From Eating Disorders

If you think anorexia is a disease that strikes only teens and women in their twenties, you might be in for a surprise. According to this Times Online (U.K.) article, Too old to be skinny, the disease is now affecting more and more women over 40. Super-thin celebrities over 40 and societal pressures may drive even mature women to seek unhealthy ways to lose weight.

ABCnews.com also reported on this issue in Adult Anorexia on the Rise, and CBN.com reports in this article, Anorexia Expands to Over-40 Group, that one in 10 eating disorder patients are over 40.

Walk for a Cure

Alzheimer's Disease is a brain disorder currently affecting 4.5 millions people in the U.S. alone. My mother is one of them.

If you would like to help join the fight against this devastating disease, check out The Alzheimer's Association Web site. There you'll find lots of information about the disease and about Memory Walk 2007, an event that will be held in cities across the country this fall, to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research.

Birthday Update

My 43rd birthday was last weekend, and it was pretty fun. I was on vacation with my family, plus three spare kids, and we boated and sunned and ate tons of junk for a week. Since we were in the Middle of Nowhere, South Carolina, it was a pretty quiet week. Dh drove 15 miles to the Super Wal-mart and got me a confetti cake and chocolate pie for my birthday celebration. I took the liberty of purchasing my own birthday gift a few days before we left, since everyone was, you know, busy with their own stuff. I really just did it to save them time. Yeah that's it.

So this is what I got: these cute denim capris and embroidered floral cardigan from White House Black Market. My kids got me cards, my dh's friend got me a bag of Cracker Jacks (long story), and my little friend Kelsey (she's 3) did a lovely interpretive dance while family and friends sang Happy Birthday for me. It was fab.
