anorexic

[guitarchick]

this past thanksgiving my sister came home from college at 75 pounds. she's 5'6"....not exactly great. i knew she would go to college and lose that much weight. i told my parents countless times, and they didn't believe me. she excersized about 3 hours a day. plus only eating little...not cool. when she went to college she only ate about 400 to 600 calories a day. so she's back home and went thru a program and so on. she had a councelor...but she decided she didn't need one, riiiiight! she does. she quit goin to the nutritionist because she thought she could handle her diet on her own..riiiiiiight. get my drift. she's not eating as much as she should be. she's still little. i'm concerned about her because she's cutting back and has stopped goin to her councelor and her nutritionist, which she needs. she thinks that she only needs God in this, and as much as God can help her, she needs people to talk to about it. she's goin to go off to college this summer and do the same thing...i know she will. so pray that God will make her realize that she needs support and she needs help, she can't do it on her own. her independence has gotten in the way...and her pride rides high. don't get me wrong, i know God can and does help her, but sometimes you just needs someone to vent to or help you out. right? she's not even 100 yet....she doesn't need to cut back on food, and she's starting to excerisize again. once again, my parents are oblivious to whats goin on. its ****!! and i'm freakin sick of it. i wish they could see what i see, but...they're just as they've always been. taking my sister for her word, but she's lying thru her teeth. i know her better than she thinks...and it's all goin to crash again soon. i just hope my feelings and judgements on this issue are wrong. i can see all the signs coming back. she's not strong enough to get thru this on her own, and it's tearing me up inside.
prayer is greatly needed. thanks.

Oh my.

I ask our Lord to give you the grace to intervene with love in your sister's infirmity.

I ask Him to open your parent's hearts to the truth, so that they might provide the loving support your sister so desperately needs and, in her own way, is seeking.

I implore Raphael, one of the Archangels who prays at God's Heavenly Throne, for healing for you all, and to his cohort, Michael, who's intervention is so essential.

One of the most amazing girls I know has been put on a medical hold for her 2 year journeyman in missions. She has a borderline eating disorder.
They are forcing her to go to counseling until the counselor is confident she has worked it all out.
Many times eating disorders are not a "problem." They are an effect of another problem that she needs to get worked out and that requires counseling.
