ChristiaNet.com (http://www.christianet.com), the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, wants to help Christians find the answers they need on eating disorders through resources available on this website. While some people may believe that bulimia and anorexia are sin issues, it is important to get all the specifics about these disorders in order to understand them. As Bill Cooper, President of ChristiaNet, stated, "Getting good information leads to making good decisions." (http://www.christianet.com/anorexia/)
Eating disorders plague millions of females in the United States. Without early treatment and medical care, young women can develop life threatening health problems. One of the most important factors with bulimia and anorexia nervosa is being aware of the warning signs. An unhealthy attitude towards body image might manifest through obsessive exercise or compulsive behavior towards food choices. "We want to help people to understand that any type of obsessive behavior is not normal," says Bill Cooper.
Many young women who suffer with mental health disorders will often say that they always sees themselves as being fat, no matter how thin they become. They will often criticize themselves and be obsessed with their appearance. Young women suffering with bulimia nervosa will often binge and eat a lot at one time, but use laxatives to quickly purge the food, or throw-up the food before digestion can take place. Anorexia nervosa may manifest in young women who diet excessively. ChristiaNet wants to make as much information available, as possible, to help others find healing and peace over any type of malady or problem. We serve a God who deeply cares for His children, offering hope through information that leads to knowledge and enrichment.
Some people think that eating disorders may be a sin issue; however there are many medical and psychological conditions that could be labeled as such. Christians need to show Christ's love towards others by not being judgmental. Christ wants His children to have abundant life but someone suffering from a mental health disorder is not living abundantly. It is imperative that those suffering realize that Christ can heal them mentally, physically, and spiritually. For more information, visit: http://www.christianet.com/articles/
