Welcome.

Today begins my - or our, if you choose to join me - journey to Truth.

The Truth about what, you may ask.

The Truth about who we are.

For years I have struggled with something called EDNOS, or Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. Basically, what this means is, I met all the criteria for anorexia, but maintained a somewhat healthy weight and my body was (for the most part) still functioning correctly.

I am currently in a 'remission' of sorts. One night at youth three years ago, God began bringing my body back to health and everyday He has shown me how much He really cares and loves me. Since then, I have succeeded in not depriving my body of food for the purpose of keeping up with the standards of beauty and perfection that this world has for me.

However, just eating healthy is not enough.

Sometimes, when I sit down to eat, Satan's fears and lies assault my mind. Or when I try a dress on at the mall... or when I see a thin, pretty girl at a store... or when someone makes a comment about what I'm eating... And the list goes on and on...

I'm tired of this. I need to know the Truth.

I know that God created me with a beautiful, specific purpose in mind.

But what is that purpose?

Soon I'll share my story in the full with you. But today... Today begins my search for the truth about us. The truth about who we must see in that mirror. The truth about beauty and holiness.

And today I want to know if you'll join me.

I can't do this without you.

I know there are many girls like me out there, with the same struggles I have, with the same junked-up perception of beauty as I have. Have you found answers? Have you found Truth?

Please.... please... do share.

I pray that you will join me, and that together, we will figure out what Truth is, and cling to it like it's our only hope. Because it is.

For those of you who know me, and this is news to you - I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. Hopefully we can talk about this in person? I don't know what you may be thinking, but whatever it is, I'd like to speak in person. I love you all and I feel that God wanted me to share this... like this.

I love you. So much. It makes my heart hurt.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
