hey, i've been trying to get over being anorexic. things have been really hard on me. i tried to get over it and it didn't really work out cuz i tried to do it without God. and now i've finally gained aobut 10 pounds but it still isn't by faith. i eat more but it's like, i don't trust my mom's food. i sometimes throw it away so i can eat what i trust. and i still worry so much of this and that. i'm so ashamed because even my nonchristian freinds who had a similar problem got over it and now eat normally. but me, a christian, cannot overcome satan's temptations. i ahve so many problems with my mom and she always says she can't wait for me to get out of the house. can you please pray for me?

im sorry your goin thru that~hun~ i will totally be keeping you in my thoughts...and prayers~~

Being an anoretic/bulimic is not something you can just get over.

I'll point you toward's Marya Hornbacher's book "Wasted", a memoir of bulimia/anorexia. She had an eating disorder for over a decade, and, at 52 pounds in the hospital, was given a week to live. She decided to get better and actually have a life. I don't know if you've gone down that far but still, it's either life or death.

Ask for mom if you can go shopping with her. Choose healthy foods. Cook meals.

This isn't easy but you can do it. Many teenage girls have issues with their self esteem and body.

Thing is, you might have gained the ten pounds essential to your body. Everyone needs to be at a healthy weight. You can pm me if you wish to talk about this further...

I really don't have any advice for you, but I just wanted to say I'll pray for you.

Me too. I will definitely pray. Remember God is always there even when we are not.

hey i will definatley pray for you. i have been in your situation before it is not easy to get through. it took me toatally relying on God to get through it. When i got married i was 98 pounds and 18 years old. 25 days after i got married i concieved my daughter and i was forced to eat so that she would live. i ended up gaininf 72 pounds, i felt horriably fat but everyone keept telling me that it looked good for me to have some weight on me. so that is what it took for me to get over it and i still have problems with it to this day on and off. when my husband left i fell back into it again and lost almost 20 pounds but i have since had to rely on God and and have gained some of it back. i am at 120 and figured its a good place to stay. ill keep you in my prayers. if you ever need to talk my email is on my info and so are my screen names.
God bless,
Shorty

ya, i cant help u other than praying for you. but i will def do that!

Dear Chizo_krn,
Hi Sweety.My heart goes out to you and I have some Christian Information
to send you and you can check it out on your own time.I have had several
friends who have dealt with Anorexia and I will be praying for you.Go to the following website: www.TrueImagesBible.com and click on the link that says Body Images and it has a bunch of Biblical help and other stuff to check out.I hope you find it helpful and I am here for you if you need to talk,send me a message at my yahoo i.d or my email. God Bless YOU and remember God loves you soo much and He is in control of your life and he feels your pain.Your mom is probably frustrated and I don't think she means to wish you were gone.I think she's frustrated and probably doesn't know the right words to say.My mom used to say the same thing and I am now 27 years old and we are the best of friends.Trust me when I say it does get better,but all in God's timing and will.I'll pray that God heals your relationship with your mom as well.Also Anorexia is not easy to get control of.It takes time.All of our bodies work differently,so please try to stop comparing yourself to your friends.It's not the same for everyone and I think God wants you to draw near to him and know that God has a purpose for your life.You are beautiful on the inside and outside.God Bless YOU! Lovin Christ Always,GodsRoses

chizo_km, I know exactly what you're going through. I went through the very same thing. And it is hard! Totally. And I too tried to overcome it without God, but it'll just creep back up on ya. I felt like it was eating me away. It was...addictive. :S But through much prayer and realization that I AM stronger in God, I understood that I am better than that. And now I must say "Who I am hates who I've been". The one thing I can tell you is that you have to love yourself before you can love anyone else. I will keep you in my prayers. Stay strong. Things will get better, I promise you. Just don't give up.
