I've never had an eating disorder. However, as a woman, I can completely understand how it happens.I work out almost every day.I live on Greek yogurt. And yet I still can't understand why my body won't look like this.Photo courtesy Victoria's SecretThis isn't where I confess to anything other than wanting something that's completely unrealistic. And airbrushed. I do the exact same thing with my house. I paint.I fluff.I stress. Because I think it should look like this...Photo courtesy Candice Olson via the blog Design Happens on HGTV.comEcclesiastes 224A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.I can't pretend to not care about perfection and working towards something unattainable and wordly. I'm human. But I CAN strive towards the perfection that is doing all things for the glory of God. Namely, quit worrying so much about things I can't change and enjoy what I've been given. My body will go away one day and I'll want to redecorate in a year anyway. In the meantime, the girls just want me to play Go Fish with them.
