Mandy, it's wonderful that you're bringing this up because many people can encourage you and help you along the way. You don't have to go through it alone! Isn't that awesome?

Well. I was in your same spot a while ago. I didn't know how to stop because it got out of control! It became my closest "friend" and I thought it was the only thing that "kept me going"...

In reality, it was one of the only things holding me back. It was making me distant from my friends, family, and most importantly, GOD!

The devil lies to us, Mandy. We can't let him win! We have the power in the name of Jesus to not let him either. He knows our weaknesses. Everytime he puts one of those images or thoughts in your head that you have to throw up and you listen, he's winning.

I suggest highly (it may not be easy), to really focus on God. He's the only one that will get you through it. God will make a way to heal it and all the other aspects in your life that may have triggered it.

Look at it this way. Every time you give in, the devil wins another point. Every time you resist, you grow stronger and are able to defeat it.

But we're also human, so don't think you're a failure if everything doesn't come easy. Just pray to God and really search for delieverance.

I'm praying for you, Mandy!!

Mandy that's great that your mum is going to help you! It's so hard when your mum is in denial, or angry (I got the whole "I feed you, so you eat!!" speech ) We are here if you need help, there are people who will help you every step of the way!!

sweetheart, this is a lesson we all are in. learning to trust God's loving arms is the daily walk we must all learn. it isn't just you. this brings us close to eachother and close to Him. i'm glad your mum knows too. we love seeing someone get support and help. prayers are going up for you and mum.

back to the daily walk/ lesson. God's word across your heart will help. His lovely promises make us stronger.

Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. Romans 12:12

Don't be afraid to talk to someone about it. I was in treatment with girls your age, and the therapists and staff there were terrific about helping people feel comfortable talking about their eating disorder and their feelings. The therapists understand you are nervous and afraid.

One thing I can recommend is to write in a journal about your eating behavior. This will help you remember what to tell your therapist when you see them. It will also help you remember what the therapist tells you.

There is nothing to be afraid of. Therapy is a very safe place to talk. They are bound by a code of ethics. They can't even talk to your mother without your permission. If they do, they are breaking the law. Ask your therapist about HIPPA. That is the law that requires confidentiality.

You will be fine. Therapy is so helpful with eating disorders. Beat it now, while you are young. You have a long life to live healthy and free from your eating disorder.

Hugs,
Trish

Denial is a very common thing with people with eating disorders. Denial is a defense mechanism that protects us from facing the truth about our behavior. As a Christian, I believe that denial is a lie from the devil, and needs to be counteracted with the truth. The truth will be told to you by your doctors and your therapist. Keeping a journal will help you break through your denial. Faith in God helps us trust the therapists and doctors. Pray for God to help you believe your therapist and your doctors. God will help you discern the truth.

Hugs,
Trish
