Michelle from SoloFeminity has posted an excellent article on her struggle with eating disorders and the freedom secured for her in the Gospel. This is a helpful read not only for those women (and men) struggling with eating disorders and body image, but for those of us trying to understand the psychology of eating disorders and grasping at straws for how to counsel people in a God-focused, Gospel-centered way.

A very insightful as well as Biblically sound article. I’m reminded of Philippians 3:19 where Paul speaks of those whose “god is their belly”. Too many fail to realize that food as well as sex, power, drugs, or drink can serve as a cheap substitute for the true and living God, and that’s idolatry plain and simple.

This article explains the reality of an eating disorder so well. Thanks for sharing! People need to know that God can bring freedom from the idolatry of eating disorders.
