The spell had been broken. I was free. The toilet had become once more only a toilet, the garbage bag merely a garbage bag. The heavy darkness that had inhabited the bathroom and kitchen had vanished. In its place was a shimmer and sparkle that radiated, a radiant glory that for five years, despite… Read More Aubrey’s Story #24: Bulimia and the Heir
In the very moment my hands clutched around my neck, choking on my own self-induced vomit, despairing of life, He saved me. I rose from the ground, freely forgiven, weeping tears of joy. The desire to purge was gone. The battle against that desire to purge was completely annihilated. But there was still food… Read More Aubrey’s Story #23: Bulimia and Unexpected Burdens
Before moving forward in my story, I wanted to begin with a summary, and I thought simply writing down, word for word, a journal entry of mine about a year before I was set free would be the perfect way to do this. It was a loose, singlet piece of paper stuffed randomly in my… Read More Aubrey’s Story #22: Bulimia and a Backward Glance
I love everything about the Olympics. One of the greatest joys this Olympics has been sharing that joy with my girls (ages 7 and 5).

It took me a couple days to process what had happened. Horror and beauty so deeply intertwined. But I longed to tell someone of the… Read More Aubrey’s Story #20: Bulimia and Rejoicing

Jesus could wash the disciples’ feet, but He couldn’t wipe the barf off my face. I had to hide… Read More Aubrey’s Story #19: Bulimia and Jesus
I was in my house. It was naptime for the girls. I was in the kitchen, and though I did not know it, I was pulling out my garbage can to purge for the last time. Everything spoke of the normal routine of binge and purge. There was no reason that this time should have been… Read More Aubrey’s Story #18: Bulimia and Deliverance
There is one event the Lord brought to mind that I am compelled to share with you before I reach the climax of the struggle with bulimia.
