Bulimic To Believer: Using Biblical Principals to Understand Why Bulimia is More than Eating Disorder

Bulimia. What does it look like? Frail? White? Dark circles? Sunken cheeks? Blond hair? Blue eye? Nope, not this time. Bulimia was me. A beautiful, black intelligent, charismatic mother, sister, friend and entrepreneur. Bulimia looked like me. Every time I ate, purged and stared into the bathroom mirror, I was reminded that Bulimia did not discriminate, but it resided within every corner and crevice of my mind reminding me of my painful past with each and every regurgitation. I was purging memories of the molestation and promiscuity in my childhood and adolescence, spiritual life, dysfunctional family relationships, and finances. Of course to the outside world, I looked life I had it all together, but I knew the truth had to come out one day. Today is that day. The great controversy, the battle between head and heart is brought to the light and God prevailed.
