I've heard of these websites. Places where people with eating disorders can encourage their anorexic or bulimic behaviors. However, when I went and looked at them to see if I'm in danger of going there myself, I was horrified (which I think means I'm not).
I nearly cried at the lies these people believe about themselves. They honestly believe they're worthless and on each site I went to, they proudly proclaimed that their lifestyle may kill them, but they believe that means they've truly reached perfection. How terrible. I wanted to reach through my computer and embrace the authors and tell them that these things are not true. They are created in God's image and He loves them regardless of their appearance.
On one site, they listed 70 reasons to not eat and they were familiar to me. Had I seen such a list before? No. But they are the same lines my personal demons have used on me in the past. I won't be specific about it, but they were each along the lines of saying I'm worthless and ugly and the only control I'll ever get is to starve myselfl
These are NOT true. Do not believe these tired lies that the enemies of God have been using on so many for so long. You were fearfully and wonderfully made.
