So the other day i learned something about ED's that i never realized before. Well, i guess i have realized it before, but the other day it really hit me, and i feel like God was really tugging on my heart to post about it.
So here goes. Friday at school, someone called me a "cow". Now it's not a big deal, but if your an Anorexic, or recovering Anorexic, you take it to heart. I probably took it too far, but in the end i am grateful. It taught me a great lesson that many girls with eating disorders don't think about: Having an eating disorder is NOT going to get you any kind of "special attention". Someone is not going to say to the other, "watch what you say around that girl, she has self esteem issues." or, "don't ever call her fat, she has an eating disorder." People are going to say what they want to say, and do what they want to do. Regardless of who YOU are and what YOU'VE been through. To put it bluntly, people aren't going to "kiss your butt" because they know you have an eating disorder. They're going to insult, make fun, and say what's on their mind! i guess the purpose of this post is to tell you NOT to expect people to hold their tounge in front of you, or be "extra-nice". Because if you do expect that, people will be a BiG let-down to you.
After all, the only compliments or comments that MATTER, are those that come from our LORD & SAViOR. The ones we should be STRiViNG to listen to each and every day. <3
