Eating Disorder Recovery
Day 5
Have you ever tried to solve an emotional, spiritual or relational problem by changing your body—your weight, your size, your shape? In our culture we are given that message constantly—and yet find that it doesn’t work.

Focus
It is tempting to try to solve our problems and save ourselves through eating right, losing weight or pleasing others. With an eating disorder we may believe if we could change our bodies our lives would be complete.
Our bodies are not the method of salvation but, a body was—the body of Jesus. “We have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all (Hebrews 10:10).” Jesus sacrificed his body so you don’t have to.
Journal
Take 2-3 minutes and journal what you imagined your day would look like if you believed today’s truth. Look to Jesus for your hope, not to your own body.
