Redeeming Life group meets tonight
Tonight (Wednesday) is the Redeeming Life meeting, which meets every other week. This group is a place of support and encouragement for those struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating. We’ll meet from 7 to 8 p.m. in the religious studies lounge (second floor of Hoover). Student Annie Stewart and Professor Melanie Hulbert will facilitate.
We’re creating a place where people can be free to talk about their struggles with others who have walked – or are walking – a similar path. Recovering from any addiction is hard enough. It is even harder to recover from an eating disorder when we live in an eating disordered culture, bombarded with unrealistic images every single day, practically at every turn. However, full recovery is possible. With time, hard work, encouragement and accountability from others, a recovered life will be a reality.
Think about these questions:
- Do you count calories on a daily basis?
- Skip meals?
- Do you exercise because you feel like you have to and not because you want to?
- Do you feel like your value comes from your weight, not from who you are?
You may be on your way to an eating disorder, but that’s not the end of the story. There is a life free from this.
Come to Redeeming Life and find hope, healing and freedom!
