* A Healthy New Year: Myths and Mantras for 2008 -- Three Myths About Post-Holiday Weight Loss -- and Three Solutions *

Now that the new year is upon us, many of us can't even look in the mirror without thinking how much weight we've gained over the holidays.

Some fat over here, some fat over there and voila -- our expensive wardrobe does not fit us anymore.

In light of this revelation, we have two choices: either replace the $5,000-plus wardrobe, or get back on a regimen that takes off the weight in the region that we are trying to make leaner, smaller and more attractive. For gentlemen, of course, this means attaining the all-admired six-pack abdominals. For ladies, this means thinner arms, hips and legs.

* Tests That Could Save Women's Lives: Specialist Gets Specific About The Main Ones; They're Meant To Catch Ailments Early *

There are numerous potentially life-saving medical tests that women should be getting on a regular basis and, with the new year here, there's no better time than now to start scheduling them.

On The Early Show Wednesday, Dr. Rebecca Brightman, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, pointed to the ones no woman should skip. The sooner a screening spots an ailment, the sooner treatment can begin and, generally, the better the odds that the treatment can be effective.

* Organize your way out of stress *

From the outside, Kimberley Mims' Snellville home is immaculate. But look behind the garage door and it's a different story.

"I'm trying to get better organized," Mims admits while apologizing for the mess.

Garden tools are piled next to books and boxes filled with everything from old sewing patterns to family memorabilia. In order to get into the house, Mims has to watch her step while climbing over piles of clutter.

* Needle Phobia More Common Than Many Believe: Help for Needle Fear That Leads Sufferers to Avoid Essential Medical, Dental Care *

It's a phobia that filmmakers have loved for years. At a tense moment, someone, usually a man, sees a needle and crumples to the floor.

But it wasn't until 1997 that the mental health community officially recognized needle phobia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, thanks largely to an article by physician James Hamilton.

Now, mental health experts estimate that needle phobia, sometimes called belonephobia, may affect up to 10 percent of the population -- and it may even be inherited.

* Spiritual Healing *

Is there someone in your life who gets on your nerves?

In your search for inner peace, as well as for world peace, you may find yourself feeling obstructed by the actions and intentions of others. We tend to idealize peace as a pastel vision of children skipping in a slow motion circle, holding hands and laughing... until the phone rings and the person on the other end tries to sell you something you don't want and you snap at them. Suddenly something occurs to you. There are other people out there who seem to be messing up your creation.

* Gratitude *

Have you ever caught yourself vigorously complaining about something you felt you couldn't do anything about? Have you ever told yourself you needed to quit complaining, only to find yourself in the same old complaining scenario the very next day? I'm not talking about dissatisfaction that motivates us to look for creative ideas or solutions. And, I don't mean ordinary challenges that help us grow. I'm talking about needless complaining that serves absolutely no purpose because you can't do anything about it. Or, maybe it isn't you who's the habitual complainer -- maybe it's someone you know.

* Arteries *

The holidays are gone and you are left with plenty of wonderful memories: time spent with your family and friends, sharing presents with your loved ones, lots of parties, and as part of all those gatherings, why not, memories of mouthwatering meals and desserts such as cakes, tarts, pies, pastries, chocolate, ice cream, and cookies among others.

However, as a new year begins, the thought of all those "goodies" you ate starts to make you a little uneasy because deep inside, you have a feeling they were not the healthiest foods for you. And you know you ate a lot of them!

*** Book Review: Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders – By Aimee Liu ***
-------------------------------------------------------------

Thirty years after Liu penned "Solitaire" documenting her teenage experience with anorexia nervosa, she recounts her midlife relapse and recovery. Liu exposes many myths surrounding eating disorders, with a combination of research and in-depth interviews with other former anorexics and bulimics. She interviews men and women of various cultural and economic backgrounds to refute the notion that anorexia and bulimia affect only "modern rich white girls."

Liu's interviewees range from Rob, a 50-year-old physician, to Jessica, an Australian 25-year-old aspiring actress. Liu devotes many chapters to the impact of family on the anorexic or bulimic, contradicting the accepted belief that the victim is "the sick one"; rather, she locates the starting point of the disease in genetics, family life, shame, and personality. Like other victims, Liu finds a history of mental disorders in her family, ranging from alcoholism to obsessive-compulsive disorder.

According to Liu, a manifestation of an eating disorder is a call for help and should be treated as early as possible, and she fleshes out facts and statistics with her personal interviews, making this book poignant even for those who have not suffered from an eating disorder.
