In His Image Testimony: Eva

id say ive always been a religious person, but i did not know what it meant to live by Gods Word. i just thought it was being a good person and going to church every sunday. i became close to God about two years ago when my uncle became very sick with brain cancer. after he died, i pulled away from God, unintentionally. awhile after his death, my life seemed to be going pretty well, until i became obsessed with my weight and working out. first i experienced bulimia, not a very severe case, but i was unhealthy. after overcoming bulimia, i started to eat less which is anorexia. i wouldnt say that ive been close to going into a hospital for being so skinny, but i was not eating enough food for a person of my height. during the very bad times in my eating disorder i had pushed away all of the people closest to be including best friends, boyfriend, and family. i was living in a dark hole and i was alone. i was always sad, tired, and cold. then i started to see my pastor and a nutritionist weekly, and i am so thankful for that. i have learned how to read the Bible and understand it. i now know that God put all food on this earth for us to eat and enjoy. i truly gave my life to Christ one Thursday morning on my way to school. after i did that i felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. thats when i truly started to recover, i became such a happier, energized person. i was getting the "old me" back and i loved it. i could not have done it without my family, pastor, boyfriend, and nutritionist. so if you are experiencing an eating disorder, it is most likely you have already sought help, but if you have not, do not try to do it alone--it cannot be done. ask for Gods help and He will guide you.
