Critical decision

[sandman]

Please keep blessedmomof5 (Denise) in your prayers, she has entered into a facility to that specializes in Eating Disorders.

Understandably this was a tough decision as she is the mother of 5 children (girls) that depend on her. But according to the doctor it was a critical decision between that or dieing ……thank goodness she choose life.

The road to recovery from ED is never an easy one but it can be overcome and conquered with Gods help and the assistance of your prayers. Denise is a beautiful woman of God with a heart and love of Gods Word. I ask that you pray for a complete recovery for her and also to pray for her husband and children.

Thank you in advance

As I said in her thread, I will be keeping her and her family in my prayers

I'm praying for the whole family, and, if I remember rightly, she said she'd be there for between 2 and 4 months probably

We love you, Mom!
I am so proud of you. You took the big step to make a difference in your quality of life. I pray that your courage will continue and grow down the path that will lead to peace. Recovery is never easy, but it is worthwhile (especially when you have five girls lives unfolding before you). You made the tough choice and I'm so glad you did! I will pray for you, your family, and all who surround you at this time.

"Lord, I thank you for this day. Please forgive me of any sin I have committed in thought, word or deed. I thank you Lord for the blood of Jesus that blots out our trangressions and makes us white as snow. I thank you for your precious son who died so that we might live. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ on Denise and her family at this time and in the days ahead. It will not be an easy road for her, Lord. But I KNOW you are in the midst of this. She is not abandoned...she is not forsakened...she is not alone. The more she draws closer to you, the more you will draw closer to her. Thank you Lord for the gifts you have put in her life - her children. May her girls be comforted during this time. May you protect them and keep them from harm. May there be no spirit of division in the family. Lord, I lift up Denise's husband. Guide him and give him wisdom and knowledge to be the man of God you want him to be. May there be joy where there is sorrow. May there be peace where there is chaos. May broken-hearts be mended. Thank you Lord for hearing my prayer. Your word says when to or more come together that whatever is bound in heaven is bound on earth...so thank you brothers and sisters in Christ who come in agreement with me. Bless each and every one who prays with me. May each one have their needs met by Your will, Father. Thank you, Lord. Praise your name, King of Kings! These things we declare and pray in Jesus' name. AMEN!"

Thanks Sandman, you are a true friend... also for everyone else who prayed for me

I will not admit that it will be easy. i was there for almost 2 weeks, and all they do is refeed you to stabilze you, and then send you home with an overwhelming treatment plan.....
What i feel in my heart is that u need to want to this for yourself, and that was not my choice, but i am willing to give it a chance, see if i can overcome this monster living inside of me....i met wonderful people when i was there, although jail like, i finally understood why it had to be that way.....
thanks again for the prayers but it will be a long road.....now i need to tell the kids why i was there, i could use some prayers on that.

Nan1, what a beautiful prayer, it has helped my family i am sure of that... you are truley blessed...

It IS still a long road. But, you took one step. Moment to moment...day by day...

What awesome news Denise!!

I haven't been around so much lately, I've been so busy...but I am so glad to have come back and seen that you've gone for help. And your so right...it's not easy...it's probably one of the hardest things that you will ever go through in your whole life! I'm proud of you Denise, I do understand what a big step it was to take, and I hope you realize how much courage it took for you to even go.

Please remember too, if you need any help...any words of encouragement...that all of us here are standing in your corner...it's not an easy road to travel, but it's much less hard when you have others who are traveling it with you!

God Bless You!
Amanda

amanda,

thanks for teying so hard for me to see the light.... still am not seeing it yet, but hoping to brighten up soon, it is so easy to fall back to your old ways but with all my appts this week , i will be honest with my feelings.
and the thing thats hurts the most is i do not want to let anyone down that has supported me, so at times it hard to come on here and read my messages or pm's.......
now i have to find out if it is a road i am willing to travel on, but thats what i hope therapy will do for me.......

Hi there Denise!

It's OK that your not seeing it yet, I wish I could tell you of an easy way to recover from this illness...but the truth is, it's just not easy. It takes time and yeah, it is very easy to fall back into old behaviors. Remember too, that all this didn't happen over night, so it's not going to "get fixed" over night. I think the best thing for you to do IS to be honest with your feelings, others can only help you with what info you give them. So if you walk in there and tell them your truth about where you are, then they can help you better. This illness requires 24/7 attention. That is why it's so hard and why it's so easy to fall back into old ways. The moment we let up, it sneaks it way back in, so you have to constantly watch yourself and your behaviors, especially in the beginning. It does get easier though, but this part of the healing is very hard....the refeeding and working your way up to a more healthy lifestyle...I can remember feeling resistant as well. But the fact that your here, talking about it...I think that's awesome! Your reaching out, your being honest with what's going on...there is a lot of hope in that fact!

I'm proud of you Denise, more then likely, with each step you take forward, you may also take 2 steps back. Never the less...your still moving forward...

I'm lifting you up in prayer...
Amanda
