Overview

Most people don’t understand eating disorders... at all. For example, anorexia and bulimia appear to be opposites: the anorexic stops eating, while the bulimic keeps overeating—but neither condition has much to do with food. Instead, both strugglers are starving—for unconditional love, significance, and security.

Both feel they don’t have control of their lives, so they substitute the one area they can control— their weight. They can control what they put into their mouths and how long they keep it there. This daily destructive cycle explains why I refer to eating disorders as “control that is out of control!”

In our media-saturated culture, where “thin is in,” where people go all out for perfect appearance, we need to know, “The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7).
