Eating disorder recovery is something I have experienced firsthand. I was anorexic for six years as an adult. During that time I often gave up and gave in to the eating disorder, and I couldn't imagine a life without anorexia. For a time, the eating disorder seemed to give me some control in my life, but I eventually realized it was the other way around. Anorexia was controlling me.

Those years in my life were mainly characterized by relapses, despair and hopelessness. Plus I was away from God for some of that time, and that's one of the reasons the eating disorder began in the first place. Even so, over time, God freed me of anorexia. On the Christian Recovery page, read about how I was amazed by God's patience, astounded by His persistence, touched by His love and overwhelmed by His grace.

I longed for someone to walk with me in my eating disorder recovery, but there was no such person to take this role in my life. I wanted someone who could listen, relate to what I was experiencing, share helpful tips and encouraging words, point me to helpful resources, keep me accountable and pray for me. I may not have had that for myself, but now that I'm recovered, I want to be for others the person I wish I had in my own eating disorder recovery.

While even eating disorder recovery from a Christian perspective can be a complicated process, you don't have to go through it alone. Let me walk with you, and let me share the truth of God's Word with you. For online Christian counseling for your own eating disorder recovery, see the Christian Counseling page.

As a recovered anorexic, I am passionate about spreading the message of hope and healing to those with eating disorders. That's why I wrote Journey to Freedom from Eating Disorders. In it you'll find practical tips and biblical truths, words of encouragement in my letters to the reader, inspirational pieces, journaling questions and more.
