Kirsten Haglund won the Miss America 2008 pageant in stunning fashion. She wasn't the favorite to win in it. In fact, the national competition was only her third ever pageant. She became a relative unknown to one of the most recognizable faces in the country in a matter of seconds.
But years before she became a world figure, she was waging a secret battle. A battle with herself.
"My life imploded."
After falling in love with ballet at a young age, she found herself at a competitive dance school. There, she realized she didn't look like everyone else. That started a years-long battle with body image and food.
"The lie of anorexia said to me, 'If you just stick with me, I'll give you everything you want.'"
Eventually she was put into treatment for anorexia. But it wasn't until an accident on a treadmill that she realized there was so much more to life than an unhealthy obsession with food.
"I wanted to feel. I wanted to be a real person again."
I cried. I'm almost years recovered from anorexia myself. praise God
Lexi G That's good to hear. Congratulations!
Kirsten, I hope you receive the comments that get posted. I was watching and found a God moment in your testimony. People often ask,"Why do bad things happen o good people?" The answer is at 8 minutes and 28 seconds in your video. My mother died of cancer on her 81st birthday in 2012. My father died this year on Father's Day at 85. As I was going through my mothers secretary, I found a note written in her handwriting, " He will never allow anything to come to me which is not for my good, Romans Eight Twenty-Eight." It is at 8minutes and 28 seconds that you describe your moment of clarity.Never forget that He is with you and that "All things work together for the good of those who love the LORD and are called according to His purpose." Perhaps today you need this note. Perhaps today someone else needs this note. God Bless in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Praise God for this. God bless you. Thank you.
Amen!
"our best efforts are but filthy rags" There are no "good" people. It is all grace.
Awesome! I am a 58 year old woman and went through anorexia at the age of 16!! Thank God He rescued me! Thank you for sharing!
I just watched the video. This is a beautiful testimony. Thank you for your hard work putting this together, and courage (much of it I'm sure was needed) to come out and share this vulnerability.
Wow I went to high school with her. It's so cool that she's where she's at now. Great opera singer & great video. Praise the Lord!
i cried. im still getting over hating my body and overanalyzing everything i feed my body. i figure skate so i understand the presure to look the part even though its only recreation for me. i also dove into a loyal gym and the fitness world and my struggle with body image makes it hard sometimes. its hard to rid the perfectionist in me but my relationship with God helps. he reasures me what im worth even if i dont like myself at the moment.
I love all of your videos. But have you ever considered doing ones with veterans? Combat veterans, veterans who suffer with depression, ptsd and other stuff. I suffer with Mild PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder. I was a Medic during the Gulf War Era in a Combat Support Hospital. Idk, just think it would help veterans and more. God is good.
Ok, found them.
Only a couple though.
hi hubby
these videos always make me tear up. ugh lol
Amazing. God is so good.
So good!!! U can just feel Jesus flowing out of her amazing ❤️🙏🏻
so beautiful. thank you for sharing
Beautiful
hey cj so cool im a big fan of yours and i love you as 1 of my fans just keep doing u
My daughter was anorexic and it almost killed both of us.
Yes, God is good!
Thank you my sweet Savior, Jesus!!
Anyone else annoyed & distracted by the music?!
Interesting that there is no knowledge of sin, righteousness and judgement anymore. Seems like a feel good story. When did she realize that she was a sinner on the way to hell without parole? Did she repent of her transgression against God and trust in Christ? 11 mins 41 seconds and no-one knows.
"no knowledge"...can you be sure of that? I thought only God knew the heart. Careful what you assume/accuse...
go to 6:40 and listen Mr Judgemental.
repentance message without love is not grace
that's how you know that someone clearly didn't watch the video. The Body of Christ kills its wounded indeed... smh
🙌🏼✝😊
But God!
Reeeeeee
Fucking stacie's talking about their "problems" they will never know true isolationism
The True Word of my Son, Jesus Christ, has been diluted over the centuries and the contents of the Holy Bible are now denied by many, who say they know my Son. Remember, the battle for souls
is being fought by the angels and saints in my Father’s Kingdom, against the
deceiver. You, my child, are caught in the middle and as such become an easy target.
Your beloved Mother
Mother of God
Mother of Salvation
