Some people struggle with being overweight; I on the other hand struggled for a period of my life being under weight. It became so bad that I got to a place of battling anorexia, a mental disorder that decreases one’s appetite for food. I remember days of asking myself, “Did you eat today?” when I asked that question the answer was usually no. I had become so busy that I failed to discipline myself to sit down and have a decent meal. During that time I weighted under 100 pounds and wore less than a size 0. However, I made the choice to seek the Lord for help. I was led to eat a piece of toast every day and drink water throughout the day. Believe it or not, that took great discipline for me. It was a battle because my mind would tell me that I didn’t want to eat and my body would seem to agree. I would feel nauseous at the thought of eating but I forced myself to eat and I said to my body, “You are going to take this toast and you are not going to reject it, it is going to stay in your stomach.” There were days that I would hate to think about the next time I had to eat because of the way it made me feel, but I kept at it, I disciplined myself in spite of how I felt; I would not listen to the voice of my body and it paid off for me in the end. It was hard, but I did what I needed to do because I wanted to live and have a long healthy life.-from an anorexic
