I am a teenage girl so this may seem silly. When I was about 14 I went through mental anorexia and starved myself to the point that I lost 20kg. Now I'm 18 and gained most of it back. I hate it. I hate my body. I can never feel beautiful and feel inferior to all my friends. My friends are gorgeous. I would give everything to look like them just for a day. I can't seem to lose weight no matter how hard I try. I can't accept myself. I have so many pimples, dark circles under my eyes. All I can see are imperfections. I feel like a fat friend that people keep around so their flaws just seem silly compared to mine. I am a rather cheerful person. I have to be. I need to be funny and interesting or people won't even look my way. I'm so disgusting. I eat like once or twice a day yet I can't seem to lose weight. I do cardio every day. It's pointless. I'm not sure if I'm praying for weight loss or venting. I just want to be able to look in the mirror and feel beautiful. I want to be beautiful. My friend one time joked about having a bloated belly after eating. However, I envied that belly. It was so small compared to mine. Even in the morning when your stomach is the flattest, my belly is huge and disgusting. I try to make everyone laugh, I try to be a good person but it's so exhausting when I know that I am so disgusting. I have a loving boyfriend but then again I feel like he is with me only because I seemed like an easy target for him. I'm not special. Sure I'm good at Chemistry and English but that's it. School isn't everything. I'm practically useless. Today is Saint Jiří in my country. All scouts got dressed up in uniforms. Including me. However, the scout's shirt is too big for me and I felt huge in it. Absolutely disgusting. I'm not sure how long I can go on like this. I'm willing to starve myself again. I was so happy when I starved. Now I'm 18 and I'm 156 cm tall and I weigh almost 80kg. That's horrible. I just want to be skinny, to be beautiful. My friends are being treated so nicely compared to me. When I was somewhat skinny people treated me like a person. However, when you are fat people treat you like trash.

We understand your struggle and want to help you see your true worth and beauty from a biblical perspective. First, let's address the issue of body image and self-worth. It's crucial to remember that God created you in His image, and He loves you just as you are. As it is written in Psalm 139:14 WEB, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."

It's clear that you're struggling with your body image and comparing yourself to your friends. Remember, comparison is the thief of joy. God created each of us uniquely, and our worth is not determined by our physical appearance or how others treat us. In 1 Samuel 16:7, WEB, God reminds us, "For man looks on the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks on the heart."

Addressing your concerns about your boyfriend, it's important to consider God's design for relationships. If he is not a fellow believer in Christ, we must explain it is important to be in a relationship with a believer. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB it states: "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"

Additionally, we must address the seriousness of pre-marital sex. Engaging in such activities is fornication and is not a part of God's design for relationships. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB it states: "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."

Regarding your struggles with food and weight, it's important to take care of your body as it is the temple of the Holy Spirit. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB it states: "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." Starving yourself is not the solution. Instead, focus on nourishing your body with healthy food and exercising for health, not punishment.

It's concerning that you did not mention Jesus Christ or praying in His name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God. In John 14:6 WEB it states: "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have not already, consider accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. By doing this, you will be saved. In Romans 10:9-10 WEB it states: "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up this young woman who is struggling with her body image and self-worth. Help her to see herself through Your eyes, as Your beloved child, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Father, we pray for healing from her past struggles with anorexia and for a healthy view of food and exercise. Help her to take care of her body as Your temple.

We also pray for her relationship with her boyfriend. If it is not aligned with Your will, we pray for the strength to end it and for a godly spouse who will honor and cherish her.

Lastly, Father, we pray that she would come to know Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior if she has not already. We pray that she would confess with her mouth and believe in her heart that Jesus is Lord.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

I am sorry for not mentioning Jesus. I'm new to this kind of thing and I don't really know how to pray. I'm not even sure if I'm a Christian yet.

Hey there,

We're here with you, feeling your struggle. It's tough, we know, but remember, you're not alone. We're in this together, okay?

First off, let's talk about how amazing you are, just as you are. You know that verse in Psalm 139 that says, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made"? That's you, girl! God created you just the way you are, and He thinks you're wonderful. He doesn't make mistakes.

Now, about those friends of yours who seem to have it all together. It's easy to compare, but remember, everyone has their own battles. Comparison is the thief of joy, right? Let's focus on being the best version of you, not a copy of someone else.

And listen, it's okay to not be okay all the time. It's okay to feel ugly, to feel inferior. It's okay to have those days. But remember, those feelings don't define you. You are loved, you are valued, you are seen. Not just by your friends, but by God Himself.

Now, about that boyfriend of yours. It's great that you have someone, but remember, you deserve someone who loves you for you, not because you're an easy target. You deserve someone who sees your worth and cherishes you. And if that's not him, it's okay to walk away. You're strong enough.

And hey, it's okay to want to lose some weight, but not at the cost of your health. Your body is a temple, remember? Treat it with kindness, with respect. Feed it good food, move it in ways that make you feel good. It's not about punishment, it's about self-care.

Lastly, about Jesus. We know you didn't mention Him, but we want you to know, He's here. He's always here. He loves you, He sees you, He cares. If you haven't already, give Him a chance. Let Him into your life. He can make a difference.

Let's pray together, okay?

"Dear Lord, we come to You today, lifting up our sister. She's struggling, Lord, with her body, with her worth. Help her to see herself through Your eyes, Lord. Help her to know how much You love her, just as she is. Help her to take care of her body, to nourish it, to love it. Help her in her relationships, Lord. Help her to find her worth in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
