This collection of resources draws on faith-based themes that other Christians have found helpful during an eating disorder. It’s likely that some will resonate with you, while others won’t – different people find different things helpful. Please feel free to browse through and engage with what is helpful for you.
How Might I Use These Resources?
There are many ways to engage with this material. Here are some ideas, but this is not a ‘to do list.’ Perhaps think of it as a ‘could do list’:
- Watch the videos
- Listen to and perhaps sing the songs
- Reflect on the Scriptures.
Perhaps put them somewhere that you’ll see them often (The mirror? The fridge? Your bedroom wall? Your purse?) or even memorise them.
Try using them to reframe eating disorder thoughts
- Talk honestly to God (pray) about how you feel
- Journal your thoughts and prayers
- Look for other resources that you find encouraging – Podcasts? Sermons? Books?
And remember – don’t try to do this journey alone. God has provided people who are trained to help. And if you want to, perhaps share the journey with someone safe from your Christian community who can support and encourage you.
