In a post on her blog ‘Live, Original,’ Sadie Robertson shares with readers how she battled a year long eating disorder, and the day God healed her from it.
“It broke my heart, and I truly want to help change that statistic,” she said. “Warning to all and as you are about to see me speaking from experience, it is not easy to jump to that 3%, but it is possible,” Sadie Robertson said.
The Live Original author revealed that while she was struggling with an eating disorder, her self -worth was demolished, and she began to lose sight of her identity.
I struggled with an eating problem connected to a negative body image for about a year. It was dark. It was ugly. It was insanely difficult. It was done in secret. It was hidden. I did not even tell my own mother until recently. I thought I had everything under control. Maybe you have been saying that same thing? I didn’t even realize this small problem that I thought I had under control was creating a ripple effect, creating more and more problems, ones I certainly couldn’t control. I became angry with the person I was becoming. My self-worth was demolished, and I began to lose sight of my true identity.
Everything changed for Sadie the day she asked God to allow her to see His standard of beauty.
The day I prayed for the Lord to enlighten my eyes to see His standard of beauty, is the day my whole life changed. But like I have said many times, in order to experience God’s beauty, you have to exhale your ugly. My heart beats behind that quote. Do these old thoughts come back from time to time? Absolutely, but it is my job to take authority over them.
