Hi

Hi everyone,
My doctor thinks I have an eating disorder and I have been diagnosed with depression. Im not a big person, and I have lost 12 kilograms lately, but I dont think Im skinny and I could maybe lose some more weight and I would be happy, and I think I am eating enough. I like the weight I am now, and I am afraid to eat more because I dont want to gain any weight. Everyone keeps on trying to make me eat more though. I dont know what to do. I have always had a low self-esteem, and hated my body. What do you think I need to do?

You say that you don't know what to do. Well, the thing you should do is what the doctor tells you to do. Put your faith in God that the doctor has the wisdom to diagnose you and treat you. If the doctor says to eat more, then eat more. Satan is lying to you. That is what an eating disorder is. Satan lyin to us about food and our bodies. Believe your doctor.

Love on Jesus ... Did you know that he breathed life into you and you were made? I know how it is to have low-self esteem and what not. I felt so alone and needed something to make my busy so I wouldn't keep focussing on the negative things!

I agree with Madison, 100%. An eating disorder is Satan tapping into your weakness and is Lying to you! Don't listen to him (yeah i know, it's not easy)... but every time you start to have a negative thought about yourself pray hard about it and get yourself into God's word even if you don't feel like it.

God even when everyone around you seems to fail at that task.

If your doctor believes there is cause for concern, then I would say there is. Try to do what he/she tells you to do. If you don't have a problem, then it won't be too hard to get back to a normal range. But if it's very hard for you, that might be an indication that you do have a problem.
