Concept: eating disorders
The clip could be used to introduce a discussion on eating disorders. The video is intended to help people empathise with those suffering from eating disorders, and prompt further discussion on the issues raised. This has the potential to be a very sensitive topic, and should be handled very carefully. The Bible verses suggested below emphasise how God sees us, as his beloved children. This can be an important starting point when thinking about issues related to self-image, where many problems can be caused or exacerbated by a wrong idea of ourselves and God. Below the Bible verses is information on beat, a UK charity which provides support for people with eating disorders and their families. This may be useful information to make available to those in your discussion.
Bible passages:
Genesis 1:26-27
1 Samuel 16:7
Psalm 139
Ephesians 2:4-10
beat is the leading
UK charity for people with eating disorders and their families.
Eating disorders are a serious mental illness affecting 1.1 million people in the
UK. beat provides helplines for adults and young people, online support and a UK-wide network of self-help groups to help people beat their eating disorder.
beat's vision is simple: Eating Disorders will be Beaten.
Boys, girls, men and women from all types of background and ethnic groups can suffer from eating disorders. Eating disorders are a way of coping with feelings that are making you unhappy or depressed. It may be difficult to face up to and talk about feelings like anger, sadness, guilt, loss or fear. An eating disorder is a sign that you need help in coping with life, and sorting personal problems.
Lizzie's Poem on this issue is also available online.
