As I mentioned earlier I was given the opportunity to be interviewed by Fox News. While we talked about eating habits, exercise routines and school the one thing was left out was how to make it through each day. If I were watching a special on eating disorders that would be the one thing I would want to know. So through emails I was asked the question how I do make it through each day and below was my response to the reporter. I believe this is one of the most key things in any form of recovery.
Enjoy and be blessed.
As cliche as it may sound, the best advice I have been given is to just take it one day at a time. As a believer in Jesus Christ as our true and ultimate Healer we have only been given the strength to make it through one day. We are only promised today so why spend our energy on what may not even happen? I've learned that I have not made it this far on my own. It is impossible, I would not be where I am today if I were using my own strength. I have hope, buried deep down in my heart, even when I am certain that I have lost all hope, it is still there by the grace of God. And then you wake up in the morning and it hits you that you survived the day you thought would be the last and wonder how you did it. You didn't do it with your own strength but with the love of Jesus Christ and with the strength, courage and confidence that He breathes into your lungs, the perfect amount that you need to make it through the day. If you can trust Him and trust that He will not let you down than you are capable of fighting any battle, eating disorder or not for as long as needed until you can say freedom has been found. And what a glorious day that will be!
