My story
My eating disorder didn’t begin because I wanted to be skinny. It began because I desperately wanted control. Restricting food gave me a sense of certainty in a life that often felt anything but certain.
What started as a way to cope slowly became something that controlled me instead. My thoughts revolved around calories, exercise, and the number on the scale. On the outside, I looked disciplined. On the inside, I was exhausted, anxious, and trapped.
Looking back, I can see that my struggle was never really about food. It was rooted in fear and a desperate desire for control.
The Lord met me there with incredible patience and grace. He didn’t simply change my eating habits. He transformed my heart! Little by little, He taught me to loosen my grip on control and trust Him with what felt uncertain.
Recovery wasn’t instant, and it certainly wasn’t easy. But through God’s faithfulness, I found a freedom I never thought was possible!
Today, it’s my privilege to walk alongside women who are fighting similar battles. I know how easy it is to believe you’ll never be free. But I’ve experienced God’s faithfulness firsthand, and I believe He is able to do the same in your life!
