God, will I ever be free from this Eating Disorder?
Good question!
I asked this about a million times. I wasn’t simply short on faith. I actually thought I had a pretty steady amount
of faith. I could believe for finances and even physical healing, yet, when it came to this eating disorder, I had
nothing...
My faith wasn’t destroyed in a day either. No, the deterioration came over years. I prayed, I cried, I dieted, I
planned, I took diet pills, I abused my body, I nourished my body, I exercised, I tried meditation, I ate only when
really hungry, I went on fasts, I cut out carbs, I tried to ignore it all, I joined support groups, and I even got
counseling for all my hang-ups and brokenness. Still: Nothing... Read More... Will I ever be free from this

Weight Problems
in the Church!
I recently stumbled upon an
article "Lard have Mercy: The Christian obesity epidemic" It was very interesting and although
the author sadly showed an obvious prejudice towards Christians, I couldn't help but agree with some of the
points being made. The author based the article on Ferraro's most recent study, published in
the June 2006 issue of the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, a follow-up to a study he published in
1998, where he found there were more obese people in states with larger populations of folks claiming a
religious affiliation than elsewhere, particularly in states with the most
Baptists. I grew up in a Christian home, and I
love the church, but even I can not shut my eyes to the fact the we have grown, to put it mildly,
"bigger" over the years.

Perfectionism links to Eating Disorders
I lived with the monster of perfectionism for a long time. I had
no idea that this "thing" I felt inside of me was not part of my personality, but rather a dangerous way
of living that could destroy my life. I never suspected that perfectionism was one of the key reasons
that I could not shake off my eating disorder. In the world of a perfectionist "good enough" doesn't exist. For
a perfectionist there is simply no such thing as a good enough relationship, a good enough house, a good enough
weight, a good enough grade, a good enough dinner party, or good enough performance. Everything has to be
perfect or a perfectionist will have none of it. Read more... Perfectionism links to Eating Disorders
The Shaky Future of Overeating
I have this nightmare: I'm left out in the cold, with the smokers,
clutching my donut...
Recently I saw this add of Kaiser Permanente that really spoke to me. I pondered over it for
days. It's the one where the highways are full of cyclists instead of cars, the vending machines have apples
instead of candy bars and people stare in amazement at a cigarette stump that is now displayed in a glass case
in the museum. It speaks of a time in the future where something like smoking would be beyond
comprehension.
Imagine such a world... Now imagine such a world if you are someone with an eating disorder such as binge eating or compulsive
overeating.

Binge Eating Disorder Case Study
After facilitating support groups for women with eating disorders for many years, I came to the
conclusion that a majority of these awesome ladies I met suffered from Binge Eating
Disorder. If you really listen, you hear that food addiction is a reality for many of
them. One of these dear friends of mine volunteered to be a case study and so aid me in my quest of seeing more
women overcome eating disorders. Read More... Binge Eating Disorder Case

Christian Based Eating Disorder Treatment
I am a Christian who suffered from Eating Disorders for years. I felt like such a failure. How
could I, as a Christian, struggle with this? Why didn't God hear my countless prayers and deliver me from this
years ago? When I found the answers I was so desperately looking for, I wrote a 12 Week Online
Course to share my testimony and years of research in this field with others. I relied greatly on the
Holy Spirit's leading and opted for material that is geared towards Scriptural Sound, Christian Based, Eating
Disorder Treatment. Read More... Christian Based
