Freedom from Eating Disorders

The way to end the entire nightmare cycle of eating disorders is to get to the root problem—you have a desire to go against the will of God and it must stop. The way to end this is to transfer your passion for food—or in anorexia, for too thin of a body—to passion for God...

What about Exercise?

Just as dieting does not help your heart desire less food, neither does exercise. Appropriately motivated exercise can be a help for physical training.

How to Let Go of Worry
