You Can Beat Anorexia - A Hope-Building Story with Tina Yeager

Is there a channel for open communication around body positivity in your home? Do you feel like there is a disconnect between your child and how they value their body? In today's episode, we are back with Tina Yeager, who shared valuable information on Anorexia in the last episode. Today, Tina will be sharing her own experience with Anorexia.    Tina Yeager is an award-winning author, speaker, life coach, and licensed counselor and serves on the Christian Authors Network board and as head mentor with Word Weavers International. She also hosts the Flourish-Meant podcast and is the publisher of Inkspirations Online, a weekly devotional publication for writers.    "Do not neglect your power as a parent, pray over your child, have the mind of Christ, and know they are fearfully and wonderfully made. Continue to pray those prayers faithfully, with expectation, believing that God is big enough that he can bring the healing and deliverance that he wants even more than you do." - Tina Yeager.   Topics covered in this episode: Developing the habits of Anorexia (1:09) Starvation goals (3:02) Over-exercising with Anorexia (3:47) Hiding instead of recovering (4:35) Mindset with Anorexia (5:17) Changes with pregnancy (6:44) Compromising decisions accompanied with Anorexia (7:45) Support of friends and family during a battle with an eating disorder (8:39) Hospitalizations and medical emergencies stemming from Anorexia (10:12) Finding strength in Christ during a time of mental and physical weakness (11:17) Shifting the focus to God and away from your body (14:27) Seeking counseling while leaning on Jesus for deliverance from Anorexia (16:40) Takeaways for parents (18:05)   I pray this episode gives you the needed knowledge and courage to open up an opportunity to have a deep discussion with your child about body image and positives. To see what your child says, and then identify any warning signs of Anorexia affecting your child.
