ED revealed...BRAVO!!!
OK, OK, I know I'm suppose to be blogging about my book, Forgetting To Fly, but I must digress...just a little.
I don't know if you watch 'The Bachelor' on Monday night TV, but I reluctantly admit that I do. (No, I won't be embarrassed).
Well, last night (2-7-'12), a bachelorette contestant, Casey B., admitted that she has struggled with an eating disorder...on National fricken' TV...to her perspective husband, Ben.
I say BRAVO!!!...to Casey, and BRAVO to her parents who evidently took the bull by it's horns. We need more people to reveal this "ugly secret" that is growing exponentially.
Having worked with ED clients for 10 years, (Chapt. 21, pg.149 [there I got it in]), I understand the impact this confession could have. I pray this recognition will effect viewers...girls who are struggling and families who are questioning..."Is this normal?"
NO...IT'S NOT NORMAL...GET HELP !!!
We all need to know that CONFIDENCE is the most beautiful (and sexy) trait anyone can have.
And how do we get confidence?...I hear you asking.
By understanding that God designed you...to perfection...just as you are right now. Oh, we all have lessons to learn, but let's appreciate our individuality, because out of billions of people on this earth, there are no two alike. (Chapt.4, pg.17 [got in another plug]). When your unique traits are lined up with your gifts and talents...POOF...you are living out your legacy.
I say BRAVO to those who get this wisdom early on. Save yourself the aggravation.
So, Casey B....you go girl.

Well said! I too was impressed with Casey B.'s courage to admit her disease. I sure hope Ben picks her - they are so perfect for each other!
