		<description><![CDATA[Tennie recently filmed the four-part series &#8220;Body Image &#38; Food Obsession&#8221; with Jenny Anchondo at Fox 59 WXIN Indianapolis.  Each segment has such a powerful message and deals with everyday food obsession and body conscious mental disorders ranging from teens to middle-aged women: Part 1 In this first installment, a local Indianapolis woman shares her story about her personal struggle with food and body image, even though she would be considered a &#8220;normal&#8221; weight person by most. Her story brings to light the eating disorders affecting women well into their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and beyond. Click here to watch. &#160; &#160; Part 2 During the second installment, Tennie had an opportunity to sit down with local Indianapolis resident, Kris Green, who was featured in the first installment of the series. While she admitted to feeling addicted to food, and that she sometimes binges and even purges, she still didn&#8217;t feel she had an eating disorder. Kris simply felt she was overweight, which was causing her to hate her own body.  Tennie gets the chance to talk her through her feelings and bring to light her mental obsession with food. Click here to watch. Part 3 In the third installment, girls and young women open up to Fox59&#8242;s Jenny Anchondo about eating disorders during a focus group they call, &#8220;Girls Nite In,&#8221; where they look at the source of where girls and teens are getting messages about thinness at such a young age. Some of the girls admit to being body ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To help attract attention to teen eating disorders and food addictions, I wanted to help parents with some general tips on how to spot eating disorders in their teen children. Over the years, most of the talk about eating disorders in teens has focused on anorexia and bulimia, typically blamed on unrealistic body images portrayed in the media. Increasingly however, the discussion has turned to the opposite end of the spectrum – compulsive overeating and food addiction. As the obesity rates in American children continue to skyrocket, teen overeating and addiction to food are becoming serious concerns to many parents. First let me say, it’s no secret that teens to eat a lot, particularly during growth spurts. Unfortunately it’s what can make identifying compulsive overeating and food addictions in teens difficult. Here are a few warning signs that can help parents tell the difference between their teen’s “healthy appetite” and a problem with binge eating: Hides food – When you’re cleaning your teen’s room, are you finding food and food wrappers stashed in strange places? I’m not talking about a Snicker’s wrapper on her dresser that she forgot to throw away. Finding food that’s been deliberately stuffed under covers, crammed on the top shelf of the closet or hidden behind her TV could indicate binge eating (and the embarrassment that follows). Avoids eating with others – If your daughter never seems to accept invites from her friends to hang out at the food court or if she has a history of cancelling plans where ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On tonight’s season finale of the A&#38;E hit show “Intervention,” alcoholic and compulsive overeater Terry will get treatment from Tennie at Shades of Hope. Here’s a quick summary from A&#38;E&#8217;s website about what to expect: Once a stunning model and devoted mother, Terry binges on vodka every day to escape her mother’s taunts and her father’s neglect. She ignores her doctor’s warning that she will be dead in six months if she doesn’t stop drinking. Leon, a 25-year-old Russian-Jewish immigrant and former cello prodigy, smokes PCP to escape from the feelings of disappointment and failure that plague him. Both Terry and Leon have one last chance–an intervention. Learn more about the show and check your local listings at www.aetv.com.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wednesday, September 7th  ABC 10&#124;9 C Back in April of this year, Yale University released a ground breaking study on Sugar Addiction. What did the study conclude? That yes, one can in fact be addicted to sugar. Ashley Gearhardt, is a clinical psychology doctoral student  from the Yale &#38; Rudd Center for Policy and Obesity. She suggests that an addiction to sugar is quite similar to an addiction to cocaine. On the cusp of Yale&#8217;s study, Toronto&#8217;s York University released similar findings. Two major universities may have just confirmed what many of us already know, that when we eat sugar&#8230; we just can&#8217;t stop. The producers of ABC&#8217;s Nigthline and Cynthia McFadden took notice, and of course they had some questions. Shades of Hope was honored to host the producers of Nightline and Mrs. McFadden as they respectfully documented a group of our Six Day Intensive clients. The Six Day Intensive is a phenomenal week of inner exploration and realization into one&#8217;s core issues. The majority of clients who attend the Six Day are seeking treatment for their eating disorders, many of them being sugar addicts. The producers hung on every detail as the group came together, shared their stories and let go the illusion of control.  On Wednesday, September 7th, Tennie McCarty, CEO and co-founder of Shades of Hope,  will share her personal story and take you &#8216;behind the scenes&#8217; into the treatment of eating disorders and the deadly disease of addiction. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ashley Gearhardt, from the Yale &#38; Rudd Center for Policy and Obesity explains the science of Sugar Addiction. Ashley, is a clinical psychology doctoral student at Yale University. She received a BA in psychology from the University of Michigan. Through her research on addiction and her clinical work at the Yale Center for Eating and Weight disorders, she became interested in the possibility that certain foods may be capable of triggering an addictive process. To explore this further, she developed the Yale Food Addiction Scale to operationalize addictive eating behaviors in collaboration with Dr. Kelly Brownell and Dr. William Corbin. The scale is being widely used internationally. Currently, Ms. Gearhardt is examining cognitive and neural processes associated with symptoms of food addiction.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is the beginning of the month or the end for some, and that means bills are due, or past due.  Yesterday, I paid all of my bills (rent, gas, water, electric &#38; cable) on time and had enough money left over to float me until the next payday.  It didn’t hit me until I got home what had happened, I wasn&#8217;t afraid to pay my bills anymore. I wasn’t stressed out. I had been monitoring my spending, I understood my financial responsibilities and had arranged for all my utility bills to be grouped into one payment, an arrangement that’s proving to work with my busy schedule. If my father is reading this, and I’m sure he is, you can pick your jaw up off the floor now. You see it wasn’t always this way. To be honest with you, it was never this way. It is written that as we work the 12 Steps of recovery we will be blessed with certain promises. Promises that in the beginning seemed so unimaginable. These Promises are: We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I hear the word &#8220;acceptance&#8221;, I think about Coach Ham, yellow squash and this little thing we deal with called, LIFE. Last night I was lamenting beautifully to my  Sponsor about my day. I was explaining to him the many trials and tribulations that lay ahead of me… and how, if ever, anyone would understand or know what it was like to be Brock Cravy. Self absorbed much? He fired back, unsurprisingly, with “You need to lower your expectations. While you’re at it you might want to lower your expectations of others.” I gasped! He obviously did not know whom he was talking to. Friends, I’m currently enrolled in “Recovery” as a second language… and I take the short bus to class. After what I THOUGHT was a compelling argument filled with talking points about setting standards, never giving up and how high expectations can help you reach your goals, I thought we were going to break up. He calmly suggested that I read “Acceptance is the Answer”, a chapter in the big book, then he politely bid me goodnight. I thought to myself, That man is a serenity show off! I did read the chapter he suggested and I now suggest to you, that you do the same. Now, I could summarize the chapter for you, but where would be the fun in that? If I’m not special, and that&#8217;s according to my sponsor not me,  neither are you… read it. I will however “quote” my point. “The higher my ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  F-L-A-B (Frustrated &#8211; Lonely &#8211; Anxious &#8211; Bored) Yesterday on &#8216;The Dr. Oz Show&#8217; the famed health guru and friend of Oprah asked TV land,  &#8221;Are you addicted to food?&#8221;. &#8220;Why yes, yes I am&#8221;, I replied back emphatically. The focus of the show was on three women who thought, but he knew, they were addicted to food. After we watched  their  oh so familiar back story he gave us the warning signs of &#8216;Food Addiction&#8217;. CONTINUE READING TO WATCH DR. OZ His warning signs are: You hide food in your car, home or office. When food becomes a secret, there is shame associated – a cornerstone of addiction. You think about food more than 1 hour a day. Food addicts use food as a diversion. They turn to eating instead of dealing with their emotions in a healthy way. You eat after arguing with your spouse or a friend. Again, in this situation, food becomes a drug used to become numb to painful emotions. You experience withdrawal symptoms when you are not eating. Addicts experience visceral symptoms such as shaking, dizziness and sweating. You can’t stop eating even when you’re not hungry. Dr. Oz stresses that if you recognize 3 or more of these signs in your life, you may have a food addiction. Please remember, ONLY you can diagnose a food addiction. Only you. Addiction is a self diagnoses.  That&#8217;s my two cents on the matter. He goes on to give us FLAB! Frustrated &#8211; Lonely &#8211; Anxious &#8211; Bored.  Now, the ...]]></description>
