The only time I’ve gotten too thin was during a baby step into an eating disorder-the rush from extreme control was exhilarating. Thankfully, I was old enough to recognize that my thoughts and behaviors were abnormal. I think it was divine intervention to protect my children from a totally sick mother as my husband was pulled away by work at that time and I was completely on my own to manage the home and the little children in it.
As far as people having mental breakdowns over this election, I believe that when people do not have their hope in Christ, they look for saviors in this world. Far too often their hope is in the president. We who place our hope in Christ don’t have to despair when politics don’t go our way, we know that the Lord holds this world in His capable hands.
If not for that I would have been a basket case for the past eight years!
Yes, it is. That's my trigger. I beat it by saying I'll feel terrible if I upset Mom: she can't be expected to deal with it at her age.
