Beauty is a gift that is given by God, the Author of beauty, and it cannot be achieved by striving.
Fashion and beauty aren't the same....In fact they're opposites, because by definition fashion is passing, yet true beauty is timeless. Anorexia inverts and corrupts every naturally beautiful quality:
Intelligence declines due to the depletion of brainpower caused by malnutrition.
Vibrant energy fades as the starved person is just trying to survive.
Creativity and imagination also fade along with general mental ability.
A good sense of humor is replaced by no sense of humor at all.
Wisdom is eclipsed by the unwise decision to be anorexic.
Diligence disappears as starvation saps strength.
A calm, peaceful mind becomes troubled and anxious.
Beauty becomes ugliness, because illness isn't pretty.
Anorexics tend to believe they're unique, but they're just like all of the other anorexics. Anorexia may seem spiritual, but it is actually a carnal practice. Anorexics may convince themselves that they're pursuing purity when they are actually engaging in sin...a very deceitful sin indeed.
