I'm sick of hearing people talk non stop about what is considered "healthy". I hear it everywhere, everyone is a health expert because they took a yoga class and their instructor told them to only eat flax seed. It's ridiculous. You are not fat because you eat processed sugar or regular flour. You're fat because you eat five of those cupcakes made from the "satonic" ingrediants.
Honestly, I have no room to give advice about being healthy because it would definitely be a "do as I say not as I do" situation right now. But it makes me so upset to see people promote eating disorders without even knowing it.
Listen, women are going to have self esteem issues without you telling them what they can and cannot eat. Plus, then they are just going to feel worse about themselves when their fad diet lasts a week and they fail at it.
OR they will be really good at it and have pride issues. "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom" Proverbs 11:2
I hate that my struggle is food. If someone's an alcoholic you don't run up to them and tell them how much fun you had getting wasted last night. But with food it's different. People say whatever they want/think. My prayer is that God would shield my heart and help me to realize my worth in Him has nothing to do with ed.
woowoo way to say it Kiera!! yeah, i agree...its so frustrating, however, we cant run from the comments, they will always be here. Just the other day a guy at work told me stop eating a cookie because it was going to make me fat. I could have easily let it ruin my day, but I didnt because I know that a cookie has nothing to do with my self worth!!! That is such a great prayer! I love you alot and hope you realize that you are far far far more worth it than dumb ed. I'm so proud of you for being honest about this, it really does help!!!
ReplyDeletedido on what jenny said!
ReplyDeleteI try to catch myself when i say these stupid, insensitive things, cuz you never know who its gonna affect and you never know what people are going through... i think having a friend go through an ed has definantly brought this to light and made me more aware about it. people dont really realize what they say hurts. when i have a friend come home and cry about what a stupid guy says at school i just want to kill him, but you are right jenny you cant let it ruin your day. anyways....
thanks for sharing so openly on this blog k. it is definantly a tool for me and many others. I love you, I am praying for you. You are worth it!
