Penny Davis shared Joyce Meyer Ministriess photo. July 27 Wow! This really hit home for me and this is something I have never talked about publicly. From about the age of 15, well into my late 20s, early 30s I battled this eating disorder myself...Bulimia. I know exactly when it started. One comment, or should I say one rude joke, about an overweight person from someone I knew changed my life for many, many years. For years I could not controll it on my own. Im sure people would say, if they had known, ...just stop doing it. I couldnt! I had very low self-esteem as well. My dear mother even took me to see a doctor once but it did not help. Its not something you can just stop doing. It was something kind of like an addiction, an emotional torment.... something I could not control. I felt horrible, sick, and very upset with myself for many years. I lived that way through my teenage years and through a young marriage years ago. Ive always believed in God and I did pray often. For years, I wondered why God did not just cure me, heal me, make me stop. Anyway, eventually....slowly but surely He brought me out of it. He helped me to stop hurting myself through the eating disorder. You may ask, why am I sharing this on Facebook? I am sharing this on Facebook because if it can help one person who has an eating disorder, one person who is sick, one person who feels lost or hopeless, one person who has a mental or physical issue....it is worth sharing my own life battle. He, the Lord Jesus Christ, helped me and He can help you too! I often post about God or prayer not to just be posting. I share these posts because I truly believe in God and the power of prayer. He can help you too! Dont give up and dont stop praying!
