EATING DISORDERS Talking Points • Admitting there is a problem is the first step. The second step is treatment. • Do you have a support system? • Gain fresh ways to cope and manage triggers and stress. • Talk to a friend, a loved one, a professional, and yourself. • Pray. • Seek professional help. • Explore the relationship of control in your life. Prayer Oh God, Help me to see myself the way you see me. Guide me on this journey so that I may have great healing and health all the days of my life. Let’s do this together. In Christ’s name, Amen.
