Advice from recovered or recovering bulimics?

[Ginger_Ark]

My daughter is bulimic. The strain & worry is eating away at our lives. But my daughter doesn't really feel that she has a problem, even though intellectually she knows it's true. I **know** God can help her. I am a living testimony to God's incredible power to change a person. But she doesn't see God anywhere -- isn't sure he exists anymore -- can't find faith at all.

I know she has to come to the right place on her own, but did anyone any time say something to you that gave you a nudge in the right direction? Is there anything I can do to lead her to God?

I would encourage you to pray that the Lord reveals Himself to your daughter, because as you know, she needs to come to an understanding on her own. When she turns to God, He can remove the veil over her eyes and replace any lies she's believing with His perfect truth (second Corinthians three:sixteen-eighteen, Romans twelve: one-two).

I used to struggle with an eating disorder, and didn't think I had much of a problem. Then God convicted me that it was sin, so I persistently asked Him to free me from the behavior and obsessive thoughts. It has been a gradual process, but I am currently more free than I've ever been, and it is all thanks to the Lord. Jesus Christ is more than able to completely save those who turn to Him, and He provides us for everything we need for life and godliness. His children don't need to live in constant defeat and in bondage to bad eating habits. Please feel free to private message me if I can help in any way.

after she eats, go for a walk and or keep yourself busy for fifteen mins. avoid binges, i'm speaking about normal meals. this is known as the 'panic zone'... where it's a complusive purge-time to get past. now binges are different. avoid trigger foods that make you binge and purge. there is a Overeaters Anonymus that i'd recommend looking up. they have a workbook that addresses issues needed to overcome and heal from eating disorders. bless you both. xo dee
