On Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend the Long Island Eating Disorders Conference which was a wonderful, FREE, program designed to educate the public about eating disorders and their cutting edge treatments.  The speakers included various clinicians from leading eating disorder treatment centers from around the country.  There were also uplifting recovery stories from those who have struggled with various disorders.

The most intriguing talk was delivered by Dr. Jeffrey DeSarbo (who founded the conference) who discussed how the workings of the brain (i.e. blood flow patterns) are different in those with eating disorders from those with normal eating habits.  This is fascinating information!  I just knew I needed to get my brain re-wired to beat this Binge-Eating Disorder of mine!

Thanks to Dr. DeSarbo and his Team for organizing the event and to the Sponsors who make it possible to attend free of charge.
