National Eating Disorders Awareness Week started Feb. 26 and ends Sunday, March 3, 2024, according to National Eating Disorders Awareness. This is an issue personal to me, as I have overcome an eating disorder myself, Additionally, I selected the topics of disordered eating and wellness for my thesis to receive my Education Specialist degree.

Obesity and eating disorders are epidemics in the United States. My heart is grieved to look around and see the number of both overweight and underweight individuals in society who are slowly committing su***de. Yes, they are slowly committing su***de, as eating disorders can kill. If not directly, indirectly through illnesses such as heart disease, blood pressure problems, and other health problems brought on by the disorders.

I encourage anyone who has issues with food, weight, or body image to seek professional help, as well as other resources available. One resource I would like to recommend is the book entitled Food as an Idol: Finding Freedom from Disordered Eating (ABC’s Ministries, 2017). The Lord inspired me to write this book after recovering from my own battle with food and body image issues. An updated edition also exists Food as an Idol: The Types, Causes, Consequences, Conquering, and Prevention of Disordered Eating (ABC’s Ministries, 2019).

Again, I encourage anyone struggling with food or body image issues to seek professional help, preferably from a therapist specializing in disordered eating. Just as I was delivered from unhealthy eating attitudes and behavior patterns, God can deliver anyone. Just reach out for help!

Delivered from Disordered Eating

In Food as an Idol: Finding Freedom from Disordered Eating Pamela K. Orgeron, the Author and Editor, a Board Certified Christian Counselor and an Advanced Christian Life Coach combines her education with her life experience as a recovered bulimic to compile a book that will be helpful to others struggling with disordered eating issues and help in the prevention of disordered eating in today's world. Additionally, clinicians will find Food as an Idol helpful in working with clients who display disordered eating.

In Food as an Idol Orgeron discusses the types, causes, consequences, and ways of conqueringdisordered eating in Sections 1-4, respectively. Orgeron considers disordered eating throughout the book on a continuum where persons who do not display dieting, bingeing, purging, or other eating disorder behaviors are on the lower end. Persons hospitalized with clinically diagnosed eating disorders identified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V), published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) (2013) fall on the upper end. Thus, Orgeron divides Section 1, Types of Disordered Eating into three chapters: What about Dieting?; Classifications of Eating Disorders; and, Overweight and Obesity. Section 2 covers individual factors, family factors, sociocultural factors, biological factors, and spiritual factors that contribute to the cause, or etiology of disordered eating. In Section 3 Orgeron discusses the physical and psychosocial consequences of disordered eating. Section 4, Conquering Disordered Eating, is divided into four chapters: Treatment of Eating Disorders; A Wholistic Model in Treating Disordered Eating; A Spiritual Approach to Healing; and, Christian Mindfulness, A Path to Healing.

In Section 5 of Food as an Idol Orgeron includes information on and suggestions for the prevention of disordered eating. Topics include types of prevention, basic principles of prevention, the role of the educator, the role of school counselors, and the role of parents/primary caregivers. In Section 6: Special Topics, Orgeron takes a closer look at disordered eating in athletes, adolescents, pregnancy, higher education, males, and in the church.
