I'm so ashamed! + Your body is a gift

I know that living with an ED makes it a lit more difficult to appreciate life but, really when you think about it: life is a gift! Also, even more important if you're reading this you are most probably amongst the "materially lucky" members of this planet. That is you and your family have a shelter and food on your table. You're lucky! I feel constantly guilty about this whole ED stuff. I mean, starvation, child molester, prostitution, rage-deeds and wars are for real. Yes we read about it daily but it seams surreal .... we can't even imagine what that's all about. And that's the daily life for the majority of the people on this earth. And what's my problem. Try to explain it to a child-soldier in Somalia or a kid living in the sewer systems in Mongolia. "Well ... hum... I've been through different stages of eating disorders since I was 13 years old. Believe me it's really a pain, it's like living in a self-inflicted torture chamber. You see it's actually a real big problem in our society"

What the #@&`¤£$%#$!!! It's just CRAZY!!

I'm not religious (as you might understand from my rough language above;-) ), but I do think that the bible contains several laws of conduction that, if respected by all, would decrease a lot of suffering. In the 1st Corinthians 3:16-17 (ESV) it's written:

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.”
