On this home page, look for “This Month’s Musings” where you’ll find snippets about various eating disorder factors. In the section, “This Week’s Point To Ponder,” watch for a new verse, quote or thought-provoking question each week which relates to the topic for the month. You may want to use these features for journaling exercises. Perhaps you’d also like to discuss them with your counselor or with others in your support group or on your support message board.

The "Recovery Stories” page contains testimonials of those who have recovered from their eating disorders. May reading these stories encourage you to continue forward in your own eating disorder recovery. 

To focus on the special person you are, uniquely created by God, see the “Your Spirit” page and soak in the truth of those words. You'll also find the Serenity Prayer, an Eating Disorder Prayer and Psalms. This is a great page for anyone who is considering or is in Christian eating disorder recovery.

Scripture In Eating Disorder Recovery

  

Looking to scripture is a vital part of eating disorder recovery.  The truth found in God’s Word truly does set one free.  Whether an eating disorder sufferer is looking to scripture for strength, hope, love, acceptance, peace, forgiveness, or grace, it’s all right there. 

There were two particular scriptures that meant a great deal to me when I battled my own eating disorder.  One was Rom. 12:2, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.”  I took this scripture literally and wrote verses, quotes, and truthful statements on note cards to help me renew my mind.  This was very effective for me in finding my freedom.  The other scripture was Phil. 4:13, “I can do all things through him who gives me strength.”  (NIV)  I knew I couldn’t break free of my eating disorder on my own so I grasped onto this promise.
