This post is going to focus on Bulimia, I have wondered for a while now if “Mia” is a demon like Ana, and having just read the book Catherine A Tragic Life by Maureen Dunbar in which Catherine had anorexia and bulimia it is clear to me that Mia is indeed a demon just like Ana with the same endgame – destruction and death – she just goes about it a different way
Bulimia (BM) and anorexia (AN) often co exist, many people with anorexia go on to develop bulimia. Anyone with anorexia who wants to go back to eating normally will soon find out that it isn’t that simple because you have been altered by Ana, and the road to recovery is full of pitfalls one being the 40-50 % chance of developing bulimia, so just when you think you have said goodbye to Ana Mia may walk into your life and she is every bit as evil as Ana.
We know the dangers of anorexia and have a rough idea of the high suicide rate but it is less well known that bulimics are even more likely to commit suicide than anorexics the shame, loss of control and self disgust is so desperate that it often pushes them to take their own lives. I think bulimia co existing with anorexia must be the worst – it is so cruel to brainwash someone to idealize skeletal features and then push them into an addictive binge and purge cycle that undoes all the “hard work” they accomplished from starving themselves – for Ana – but cruel doesn’t even begin to describe ED demons aka Ana, Mia and ED and the pain they inflict on their victims, families and loved ones. Let there be no mistake here they are out to kill – that is their mission – but they can’t physically kill their victim they can only get their victim to kill themselves by starvation, bulimia, low self esteem and resulting suicide. Ana doesn’t really care about or value skinnyness – she just wants victims to care – so much so they will die in pursuit of it you see it’s just a means to an end for Ana and Mia and the end – endgame is their victims death.
Demons work together as a team so they will decide to use the same tactics for example a few months ago there was a craze amongst anorexics to look like a pixie, impish with big eyes, well demons put that in their heads another demonic trend during the early 90s was anorexics binging on raw offal (I kid you not ) I read at least 2 accounts of young females with anorexia binging on raw offal – kidneys, heart, liver etc and then dying from it – an emancipated body cannot withstand an overload of foreign, bloody, raw offal so death is most likely – at the time I was aghast as to what made them do such a thing and now I know why – Ana and Mia suggested it.
Bulimia is invisible as the person suffering from BM looks normal because they aren’t usually underweight and this is the reason bulimia doesn’t get the attention that it desperately needs. Whereas it’s visibly obvious that someone is suffering from AN if they have a low BMI less so when they are weight restored, the most common mistake people make however is to assume that someone with anorexia is back to normal when they are weight restored – because they aren’t – the demon is still controlling them either by urges or by actually talking to them , suicide often occurs at this point – so distraught are they at the weight they have gained. Bulimia can be present without Mia and Ana driving it, it’s often just swinging to the opposite of anorexia. Once someone has committed to recovery and decided to eat again they find they can’t stop it happened to my daughter but this is part of recovery for many people with anorexia and although it can be dangerously addictive most people will outgrow it and so you must have faith that you too will outgrow it and that it is a temporary phase whilst your body adjusts to eating properly again.
You only need to have been under the spell of anorexia for a short time to get messed up by it and I think this is what happened to Princess Diana, for a while there was a lot of speculation that Diana had anorexia, it went away and then later she said she suffered from bulimia, Diana was well known for trying many different treatments and alternative therapies I think she even had hypnosis at one point, was she searching for a cure for the bulimia ? Towards the end of her life I think she may have beaten it – this is all just guesswork on my part btw.
Anorexia demons were once angels and have a clever set of tricks. one of them is to convince victims that being like a skeleton is beautiful so much so that their weight restored body looks enormous in the mirror I think they actually tinker with their victims minds because they have such a horror and are so convinced they look like a whale. the term body dysmorphia has been coined to cover this but I think something supernatural is going on here, but people just accept this without question.
So bulimia can occur after anorexia but bulimia can co exist with anorexia this is what Catherine Dunbar suffered from her mother Maureen Dunbar wrote the book Catherine A Tragic Life
this is a compelling and tragic account of Catherine’s decent into anorexia including writings from Catherine’s diaries. Mia was raging in Catherine, she shoplifted and stashed away masses of food in preparation for mamouth binges in the evening which would go on into the small hours.
Catherine had faith in Jesus she was a Christian but she never thought that the entity that was controlling her was a demon because demons pretend to be a good friend in the beginning they waft into a persons consciousness presenting as urges which are mistaken for ones own instincts or the demon will actually talk and in the beginning the talk is amazing flattery which is music to the ears of anyone feeling lonely or bullied. In one part of the book Catherine was in a hospital run by nuns and she saw the demon – she didn’t call it a demon and I don’t think she knew it was a demon – here is an exert
I am not suggesting that everyone who binges has the devil inside them ? But it is obvious Catherine had a demon controlling and oppressing her. As I stated earlier demons come on to someone as friendly spirits, kind and supportive – this is how they trick and deceive their victims to let them in, no one would allow a demon in if it appeared as it really is – an evil malevolent dark cloud – that’s why demons disguise themselves as good spirits, the other thing is we don’t educate people about demons even though they are mentioned in the Bible, millennials are probably scoffing at the thought of Bibles and demons that’s how far away we have been led from Christianity in UK and this enables demons to do their destructive work no one is on the lookout for demons. Once demons get in through flattery and trickery they will lead their victim on the road of destruction and death. Catherine didn’t suspect the urges driving her were from a demon because when she let it in all those years ago it seemed so friendly and helpful – even when she saw the evil entity around her she didn’t equate it with the dark urges she had within her.
There was a play based on this book and not once was the dark malignant force mentioned in fact calling anorexia evil is looked down upon so insistent are some that it is a mental illness even though they don’t know what causes it.
It is written in the Bible that anyone who believes and follows Jesus can cast out demons and I can testify to that. It doesn’t have to be done by a priest in a black robe with a crucifix either the above exert illustrates how powerful prayer is in the fight against demons the above exert is in fact an exorcism because the nun and Catherine drove out the demon with the strength of their belief in Jesus. But sadly they didn’t make the connection between Catherine’s dark desires inside her and the “evil presence around her” they didn’t link the starving and binge eating cycle to the “evil presence”. Once a demon has been cast out you have to be vigilant to keep it out because it will try to get back in – the only way to be safe from demons is to be close to Jesus He has to live in your heart, if Jesus lives there Ana and Mia are automatically evicted
In Catherine’s case they kept successfully driving the demon out by prayer only for Catherine to allow it in all over again, the reason why she did this is because Catherine didn’t realise the “friendly helpful” demon was the same as the malignant evil force, the reason why many people don’t want to give up anorexia is because they don’t want to give up this amazing friend Ana even as she tried to get them to kill themselves such a grip and hold do these demons have on their victims.
So demons and Jesus can’t co exist in the same place one has to leave and it is always demons because they are nothing but fallen angels in comparison to Jesus they know Jesus and they know He is the son of God demons are terrified of Jesus. Catherine did love Jesus but her case shows how she was tricked constantly by the demon, she internalised what she thought was a friendly spirit but it took control of her and made her mistake it as part of herself , she carried through the urges it gave her, she obeyed the “dark desire ” for thinness and death It is easy for me to say all this today but back then in the 1980s anorexia was a new baffling phenomenon, albeit have we moved forward much today in our understanding ?
AN was classified as a mental illness in the 1980s but it isn’t a mental illness like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder ( demons don’t cause either of them btw ) anorexia is a sick mind but it has been made sick by an evil entity however I can’t see this explanation ever being taken seriously though even though people are dying of both anorexia and bulimia every day.
The stats show that more people suffer from bulimia than anorexia it is an addiction for millions of people The good news is bulimia is often successfully treated by hypnotherapy but you need to get a really good hypnotherapist and they don’t come cheap, hypnosis is more successful for treating bulimia than anorexia, find a hypnotherapist that has experience and proven success in treating bulimia and ask for a free consultation. NHS and private companies should use hypnotherapy for bulimia I know that NHS uses hypnotherapist to get cancer patients to eat but apparently anorexia can’t be quantified – so says the NHS – who I am not knocking btw they do a great job on the whole
You must really want to be cured from bulimia and then you must believe that you can recover obvs I recommend having a relationship with Jesus 24 / 7 but it is up to you
Lastly my top tip for staying slim is walking – you lose more weight walking than running or going to the gym – which pumps you up.
Make sure that you enjoy the food you eat, enjoy it and feel satisfied, don’t deny yourself food during normal meal times bc that is the time to eat – breakfast , lunch , dinner, if you get cravings to binge in the evening allow yourself a starchy snack at about 10pm bc this will help you sleep – I have something like a piece of toast – get into deep breathing bc it will flood your brain with oxygen
breathe through your nose, filling your lungs with air , expanding your rib cage to hold as much air as you can – hold this air for as long as you comfortably can – then breathe slowly out of your mouth , purse your lips as you do so – repeat 3-5 times
Listening to music is a good distraction maybe you could dance to the music to distract you from binge eating ?
So to sum up – after restricting many go to the opposite end ie binge eating but don’t panic, or be bewildered it is better to be eating than restricting especially if you have chosen recovery above all DON’T FEEL GUILTY AND PLEASE NEVER CONSIDER SUICIDE – keep faith that it will all work out in time and that binge eating is part of the process of recovery for some people – if you do gain too much remember walking is the best way to lose weight just make sure you have enough iron
good luck everyone – you can do this
