Things that my Eating Disorder forgot to tell me... you know... before I agreed to a two year friendship:
- I will steal your joy
- I will never be enough for you
- I am selfish
- I don't really care about you
- I will pull you away from your family & friends
- I will discourage you from participating in social activities
- I will create a defensive nature within you
- I will harden your heart
- I will steal your peace
- I will consume your thoughts
- I will lie to you
- I will inhibit your ability to love
- I will make you feel that God has abandoned you
- I will never tell you how beautiful you are
- I will become your obsession
- I will never fill your soul the way Jesus can
- I will instill an immense sense of guilt within you & this guilt will keep you from asking your family, friends, your God, and/or professionals for help.
- I will make your hair loose its shine, bounce and luster (oh and it will fall out)
- I will make your nails paper thin
- I will make you cold, despite the actual temp
- I will completely zap your energy
- I will make you grumpy (all the time)
- I will disrupt your sleep
- I will slow down your metabolism
- I will shut down your body's natural processes
- I will mess with your fertility
If you have have ever experienced an eating disorder, or any other type of addiction/consuming behavior, do you find the above statements to be true? Anything you would add to this list?
