Wow! Thanks for sharing this story. I've heard that anorexia is very common among pageant contestants, and it's so unfortunate that they have these extreme expectations placed upon them. I also had a boyfriend who was anorexic. Unfortunately, male anorexia isn't discussed nearly as much but can be just as horrible and just as deadly. Keep sharing your story! So many others need to hear what you have to say.

Thanks for sharing your testimony, may God continue to use it mightily.

I will never understand why non-believers come to these videos to mock the faithful. What a sad, empty life you live.

i feel no sympathy for that woman. the god thing makes it difficult. what about being an individual in their own right? or is that a foreign concept in america? (i doubt it, but seeing this makes that difficult to believe)

@DanteWhite stupid atheist

[DanteWhite]

this report is bullshit as this does not address the real issue god is not the real solution to this problem and the lack of security in god does not cause it some christians are some of the shallowest people i have ever met the real issue to this lies in the current economic system how the world is driven by money and how the beauty industry complex plus the eurocentric colonial mindset has imposed a set unrealistic standard for economic gain via the selling of products that help you achieve it

[Vrijheidx]

Meanwhile, 22,000 children die everyday because they don't have enough to eat. Selfish asshole.

@4everkeim I hear what you are saying and agree that it is good for people who need help to get it and ask for it. Your right, that prayer on it's own must have faith in action. Believing for the good in people to not just be in thought but in deed. So that when I or anyone whishes &/ or prays for someone to be well it is not the only thing they can do but one of the things they can do. I commend you for recognizing that religion cannot save. But Jesus can and does all the time, for all eternity
