Help!! =o( =o(

Hi ladies...

I was anorexic last year and have been better for about 6 months now. Well, lately I'm really really unhappy with how I look weight wise, even though I'm technically still below what I'm supposed to be, and I've been having a REALLY hard time not becoming anorexic again. It takes all of my will power to keep eating. I know that this body is God's and I shouldn't do this to it, but it's so hard.

Not eating makes me feel powerful, like there's something I can control in my life, you know? It scared me last night when I realized that once again the feeling of hunger is comforting to me. I dont want that to be!! Please, please keep me in your prayers. I don't want to fall into this rut again.

Thanks...

Kate

Will pray for you Katie. One of my friends is struggling with the same thing, she has to stick to eating times now, eventhough she now isn't technically anorexic anymore.

Your in my prayers. Just remember you DON'T have any control over your life, God has control and he'll take care of you. See yourself as God sees you: A Child of God. A beautiful Child of God.

And because you are a child of God you should behave like God: Pure, humble, giving.
Maybe you should take some focus off yoru self and go out and help some people who don't HAVE any food to eat.
That's what I would try. Remember God loves you no matter if your skinny, fat, ugly, beatiful, short, tall.

I will also pray for you. If you need to talk to someone who cares about this, there is a Christian hopeline where's there's trained staff to help people with problems including anorexia. It's toll-free 1-800-394-HOPE (4673) or you can talk online at: http://www.teenhopeline.com
I just tried to go to teenhopeline.com, and for some reason they said the 'talk to live person' section was not in use right now, maybe because they have hours of 'use' and no one is in right now? Anyways, I hope this helps! These people really care.

Kate, I'll be praying for you loads, I know what it's like to lose all the hard work you did in recovering and don't want it to happen to you, or anyone for that matter!

Hi Kate,

Have you read "Mercy for Eating Disorders" by Nancy Alcorn? Its a really good book that may share some Godly thoughts and insights to help you along the way, some you may not have considered before. You can check it out (so to speak) at Amazon.com, but you'll probably have to go Mercy Ministries (mercyministries.org) to receive it in a timely manner.

Just a thought ...

Prayers and blessings,
Keith
