Learning To Love Myself I was bulimic from the time I was 17 years old until I was 24. Those years of continual binging and purging were literally a living hell for me. It's miraculous that I didn't commit suicide, although I thought about it constantly. I felt that there was absolutely no one to turn to but I knew I needed to stop the binge/purge cycle. My first big breakthrough was when I made the decision to not purge, no matter how much I had binged. Once I made it an entire month without purging. I was on my way to a long process of healing and learning to love myself. Of course I gained weight, but I knew that It was time to learn how to love myself from the inside out, and somehow I knew that one of the biggest keys to setting me free from that awful disease was NOT TO PURGE, NO MATTER WHAT! The act of purging is what causes the shame and self-hatred, and THAT is exactly what the devil wants... And then, most importantly, I found God, and discovered how much He loves me. It is crucial for anyone who is struggling with an eating disorder to come before the Lord and surrender it to Him, and to confess to Him the sins you have been committing against your body. THAT is what will set you free from that demonic, (and it most definitely is demonic) bondage. I know that probably sounds pretty extreme, but I can assure you it IS the TRUTH. Get into the Word and you will know it is. God Bless. |
