I suffer with compulsive over eating disorder (after being exercise bullimic for a long period)and am desperate to surrender myself and my disease over to God.

It is, and has ruined my life for nearly 10 years- literally.

I KNOW I hate it and it ruins EVERYTHING, and how FANTASTIC I feel when I eat and exercise sensibly.

I KNOW how to DO IT RIGHT,
Yet I still CHOOSE to DO IT WRONG.

I HATE IT, BUT I LOVE DOING IT...EXCEPT I HATE IT

HOW can I surrender it/myself to God, when I know how to do it right, and what it feels like to "live normally".I know I can't live with it any more

Yet I still LOVE doing it-

HOW DO I HAND IT OVER TO HIM

I know I'll get a much better life in return if I do,
BUT HOW DO I DO IT?

Desperately,

Smiler

It's soo hard, my friends are like just eat just eat and so r my parents (who dont totally know the extent of wat i'm doin) but it's not that easy. i cant' just do that.

Smiler,


I was a bulemic in college. That was 10 years ago, and it's something I still have in the back of my mind when I overeat.

I went to a counselor who specialized in eating disorders. That helped me a lot, because not only did we talk about nutrition but the emotions involved in bulemia. You may be able to check and go to Catholic Charities counseling or LSS. That would help you with the spirtual side.

I'll be praying for you!! You will beat this.

Here is a good Christian article about eating disorders. I hope this helps:
