In the over ten years that I've had takebackyourtemple.com online, I recall few messages from people suffering from bulimia.

However, I've received messages from two individuals who described symptoms of this eating disorder this week.

I don't think that is a coincidence.

So I knew I had to write about Christians and bulimia in case you are having the same issue.

Bulimia is a disorder in which a person overeats or binges on food, but then vomits the food up, starves themselves, or abuses laxatives in an attempt to "undo" what they just did.

This behavior sets up a self-destructive cycle in which the person feels trapped.

I'm writing this letter in response to a comment posted on the TBYT website publicly:

Kimberly, thank you for your article on temptation and the way our Jesus dealt with them.

May I ask if any of your members have a problem of beating oneself up with guilt and try to clean up a past guilt indulgence with excess exercise, fast or laxatives?

God bless you and your ministry in Christ Jesus.

MC

I've meditated on this issue from a Biblical perspective and decided to write a letter to MC.  I'm making the letter public since the comment was public.

I pray this letter helps to set those who suffer from this issue free:
