Shell, you DO have a problem when it comes to food if you feel that way....but we can save that talk for private.

I am really impressed with the research you did.  I had anorexia for about six months, and then I started to over eat and ballooned.  Then I started down the road to bulemia.......until I found out how it could destroy my teeth and my singing voice.  I can't relate to ALL the symptoms, because some come after six months or perhaps depending upon the person. I can tell you I binged sometimes on oranges, eating like twelve or more in a row, would try to live off of rice cakes, compulsively exercised; I mean, weight training, walking early in the morning, then again at night (this at 14/15 years of age, going to school and doing farmwork to boot).  I would use the thigh master for at least a half hour everyday. And if I missed any of my routine, I would get all freaked out.  I would belch and it would taste like acetone (paint thinner). It was weird.  I had NO cellulite on my body (first time ever, and likely the last-lol).  I already had depression, was already a cutter.  Already had anger issues and all the rest.  

What sent me down that road was a very abusive much older boyfriend who introduced me to the word "cellulite".  So once he moved out west, I just lost it.  And then struggled on and off and on again with eating disorders. Starving myself (or trying) and obsessing, looking through mags and dreaming of all them nice clothes I would look good in thin.

I am recovered, but I also use my head. I don't own a scale. I don't count calories and diet.  I am happy to be the size I am now, yes, even with the cellulite! lol Our body is a temple, and like your blog says, self loathing causes it, and some ppl do it for a sense of "control" over some aspect of their lives.

Okay, so I went on and on enough. sorry.  Thanks for sharing this.  Jesus is bigger than eating disorders, and He can completely heal this.  Christian singer Nathalie Grant was very candid about her struggle with such too.  May wanna google that and read up on her story.

You rock!  And even the most beautiful "looking" woman can look ugly if she is ugly within.  Jesus is our beauty treatment, really.

shell dear... did i just say dear???? ok... awkward... anyways, one thing i hope you will realize. Your body is hungry, it just doesn't send the trigger that it wants food anymore because it doesnt get a reaction, which the hunger puts the body in even more pain.Thats the exact reason me and kriss always try to get you to eat at least one bite, because we hope that once your body gets just a little food it will want more. One tiem i went three days without eating cause i was playing a video game. The instant i had one bite of food i was starving. Kriss reltes more on what i said, but still, i wont say nymore unless you have lnch with me again :P
one thing for you to think about. Here is a little test for you. The eating disorder thing, you want to know how you know if you do or not? this is something i thought of. One week, just one week, eat all of your meals, and the proper amount.If you can do that, im willing to consider you not having one. If you cant do hat though, that means that it has control over you, and i know you shellly bob. You like haing the control :P

Your Friend (Who has never stopped talking to you because of anything you ever did thank you very much :P )

 Great information! Last year the Dr. put me on drugs that made my weight go up from 145 to 208 this was for nerve damage in my arms and for headaches they put me on 3 high-blood presser pills a day and I don't have high blood-presser so I could move very much so I put on the weight.
 So after that I stop and went to God Health plain started eating right and working with out drugs and being in prayer with The Lord. So now I am feeling better about my self because of my daily walk with Our Father. So we should seek out Gods Health plain and show others what He wants our fellowship with Him. God Bless you my little sister,Doyle.
