Thank you Lord for giving Ashley this platform and for giving her the words You gave her for this video. Ashley, I needed to hear this tonight. I used to binge eat years ago but the Lord brought me through that, I lost 40 pounds and fell in love with exercising and being healthy. And then I started having some health issues for a few years now and had to have surgery and I haven't been able to exercise a lot at all in the last 3 years and I have gained weight, a lot of my pants aren't fitting and just recently i've noticed I'm starting to eat more like before and I went to this video and it made me cry. Thank you for the encouragement. Jesus is our only hope!
This is the first video about eating disorders I came across that calmed me. Usually, these types of videos make me even more anxious about food even when the intention is opposite. Ashley, you are a star for Christ. I loved the humility in: I see myself falling back into old tendencies but I am walking the road of recovery. You wouldn't know how much hope that gave me! God Bless
So strange. I weighed myself today and was 4 pounds over what I wanted to be so I decided to skip dinner. Now I’m on this video. God’s timing is perfect.
I have been walking through a swallowing condition for 7 years now and I had no clue that all the starving I've gone through would later help a friend that developed something similarly and I've been able to encourage her and really know what she's going through and show her how God has been my strength. He told me that He has experienced every moment with me, that's what changed my mindset and just became thankful for what I could eat each day, even if it wasn't much. His grace is sufficient for us. ❤ thanks for sharing
Being a guy I've had a eating disorder. But much so in my reckless twenties, I had have many addictions. I feel that this message goes great with addiction as well.One of big take aways for me was" don't get stuck in the dark" . That is what the devil wants. For us to feel powerless worthless and consumed. We know better than that through Christ. Thank you for the video I found it uplifting.
This young lady has great hair! Straight or curly. And I know that women struggle with body image issues, but she is beautiful. And I think anyone that loves God is beautiful in some way. We are made in God's image and are in The Lord Jesus!
I was struggling with this a few years ago along with self harm When I was a senior in high school I had to picked a dress for prom and I was so self conscious and struggling with ed and self harm. I cried so bad bc I didn't find a dress because I hated how I looked and that night I self harmed and cried my heart to Jesus and became a believer. I was saved. Now I have occasional disorder mind around food that need fixing and prayer every single day!
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I am fifteen and for a year I have been in pain and depression with an eating disorder. I lost my period because I lost so much weight and I thought seriously about killing myself. But God have me a book called live Fearless by Sadie Robertson and it changed me. I turned to God and I’m still seeking help and love. I feel for once... like I’m getting better☺️ So thank you girl, and everyone needs to know that they are loved by God and their fellow neighbors❤️ YOU ARE NOT ALONE❣️
Thank God you're starting to feel better. Online schooling made me skip meals, rest, and sleep. I had a high fever last week, thank God I already recovered. But I was then again frustrated the week after because I couldn't eat and taste food properly. I thought I got Covid, omg Thank God I'm all safe. Thank you so much for your message, for letting us realize that we should not take even the simplest things for granted. We should thank God for everything. God is so good, Glory is all His!
Amen, our hope is only found in Jesus. I have struggled with gluttony, all my life and struggled with anxiety after leaving school. But, this year I've finally; by God's grace alone. I've found the strength through Him to change my eating habits and thoughts (it got me to a point I don't want to talk to anyone)... It's only taken 5 years, to finally do something about it!!! Thanks for sharing and I know, God, through your video, will reach many. Blessings.
I didn’t know I was anorexic till after my son was born, I was 26. I starved myself. There was always a fight at the dinner table so I’d always say I’m not hungry and never eat. Praise God I’m there no more!!
Used to want to starve myself and wanted to spit out food, because i thought i was heavier than a lot of my friends. My friends would be less than me, and i would be a few pounds more and it bothered me. I wouldn’t say that was an eating disorder, but if i continued i would’ve fallen into one. I’ve always been self conscious about my weight. God made us all wonderfully, no matter what anyone else says about your appearance, weight, or anything, He says that you are Fearfully and Wonderfully made. Never forget that. Have an amazing day ❤️🪴
I suffer with eating disorder. Definite self image issues. I know after cancer twice that food was the only thing I could control. My eyes have been lifted instead of looking down. My help comes from the Lord. Thanks for your honesty.
Yes it's very hard! I have binge eating disorder. Not bulimia (binge/purge) but binge eating. It's awful. I've been to therapy and it did help but prayer and faith help me more. I'm in recovery but there is so much more to do. I thank the Lord every day for how far I've come and I know he'll help me keep going!
Thank you so much for posting this Ashley!! I thank God for your channel and am excited to meet you one day in heaven. You have encouraged me in me walk with God to no end - keep using your gifts to serve Him. xx
Thank you, I am not going through a eating disorder but something else, but the verse and your sweet words have helped me in so many ways. The holy spirit is working with you to touch many people, regardless of who they are. Keep up the Lords Work, you are blessed.
I do not suffer of eating disorder , however, these words Ashley uttered were so touching ,and I‘ll use that to help someone else . God bless you Ashley ✨🙏🏾😘❤️
This couldn’t have been more timely. I just wanna let you know how much God is using this channel, Ashley. I am injured and can’t exercise right now & am also recovering from an eating disorder. My self-worth has been so low and my anxiety peaking, but then you uploaded this video. Thank you so much for reminding me that God is with me and He is all that matters in this life ❤️.
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Oh, Ash! I haven't been following you long, but I just want to remind you today that you have been an absolute blessing to my life and I have learned SO MUCH from you. The world is blessed to have a lovely young woman like you in the ministry, and I know that my life certainly would not be the same without you. I am so, SO amazed at the power of the Lord. Just as He has helped to heal you, He has helped to heal me from anxiety, hopelessness, depression, and despair. I am a different woman today than I was when I was saved in January, and all I can think is... if He can do this much for me in just a couple of months, what will the rest of my life look like?! The Lord's mercy knows no bounds and He will continue to rescue you when you need to be rescued. :) Thank you so much for a video like this, because as helpful and as encouraging as we want to be for those in our lives who are dealing with any kind of addiction - drugs, alcohol, food, sex, shopping, ANYTHING - we can sometimes say things that hurt more than help. These types of messages are SO IMPORTANT, and may God continue to bless you for sharing your heart with us and helping us learn how to truly *be there* and *love* our neighbors.
Hi Erin! Thank you so much friend!! You are so sweet!!! Praise God for the work He has done in your life already!!! You are a living testimony to the grace of God!!! ☀️❤️
Ash, not to emphasize your looks over your heart or anything, but you're so so gorgeous and I just really hope that the root of everything is lifted and praise you for the work you do or even if you don't do it, you're awesome!
I was just thinking about my hope that there is a God who sees my pain and my every step. He is not tired of my problems and that he still loves me with my weight my color...... everything that I'm ashamed to talk about. And to any one who is struggling with not just eating disorder but anything in life I want to tell you that there is a hope and he still loves you with all his heart. And that you have a lover who is not ashamed to die for you in the cross
This is amazing! Knowing that Jesus is mighty to save is an absolutely wonderful feeling! God loves all of us! Sending hugs from Colorado, and thanks for the video Ashley!
Thank you for sharing you heart ❤ I struggle with anxiety and suicidal thoughts and sometimes I feel discouraged to talk and be honest with Jesus because I feel like I'm letting him down with the way I handle things... but thank you for reminding me the love and compassion He has for me- and for us all. 💕💕
He does love you so much! He wants a relationship with you so you can experience the Father’s love. He will heal you as you continue to surrender to Him - in His timing. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Ash! I from Brazil and i'm so happy with the mode you say about Jesus. It's beautyfull! God bless you more and more. See you in heaven, my sister. 🌍
God has set me free too, and is currently setting me free from food and diet obsession. He set me free from drugs and alcohol many years ago and now He is setting me free from this too. Thank you so much for sharing this. Plus 6 was the number that truly spoke to me. All of these did. But Jesus is our ony hope is true, no solution in anything else.
This video is so encouraging! I am in a really low place in my life right now, where I'm trying to seek God in the midst of all my pain and negative thinking. This video was an encouragement to me to remind me that I'm not alone and there is hope. Maybe even for me.
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Dear Anna I pray that you won’t have to keep on living up through this pain I watched you in school and tried to be your best friend as much as I could and I know this is hard for you and hard for your family as well but I pray that you will have happiness in your life and that your eating disorder will change and be better have faith in yourself Anna “just a little faith”
Thank you Ashley for your encoureagement . I feel stuck in so many Ways in my life , but i believe what you say , and somehow God will bring me out of it . God bless you 🙏
I came across this video in the middle of the night and I needed it. I can relate because I struggled as well with eating disorders, but God definitely delivers us and He is our helper! Our rescuer! I’ve been watching your channel for a few short years now and I never regret ever watching these videos. Thank you for allowing God to use you! You play a big role in inspiring me to come back to Jesus 🙏🥰
Thank you for putting this together! It was really inspiring and a good reminder of the Lord's faithfulness, forgiveness and his love for us! Love you!
This was very encouraging sis! I have PTSD, depression, and anxiety. And last year I had a miscarriage plus hubby and I both ended up in an abusive situation with some folks where we almost starved and almost ended up homeless again. And that was on top of everything else that happened in 2020. My mental health got so much worse after last year and I’m still struggling a lot. I was seeing a counselor and it helped a lot. But then we moved and I haven’t found a new one yet. I can’t pay out of pocket so I have to find one that takes Medicaid. Prayers appreciated that I find a counselor soon and also for healing and peace. I also lost my Grandmom this past week so I’m even more depressed than usual. I feel like that lady who reached out and touched Jesus’ tzittzit (tassels)! I do have faith and hope but I’m barely hanging on. But at least I’m hanging on to Jesus. 💜❤️🧡💛💚💙
This is truly encouraging. Repeating what you said: It's perfectly okay to seek help! Don't be embarrassed or keep it in but just know God can use people to help you when you are struggling. I personally can tell you from experience that seeking help was one of the best decisions I made. I used to think seeking a "counselor" would show weakness but it's actually one of the strongest things you can do. God has used people to help me and will do the same with you. Take action! God cares for you and He loves you. Trust Him!! I love you guys.
Thank You for the encouragement! I appreciate you telling your testimony of your health journey and how Jesus has helped you to be where you are today. Please keep making more videos!! I know it's giving so many people out there HOPE!♡
I have struggled with eating disorders for 30 years, now I’m seeking help. I’m getting weight loss surgery but instead on depending on this I’m learning how not to totally focusing on this but my good mental health. For the 1st time in 30 years I’m free. But I need to take day by day when I’m getting back to good help. I’m depending on Jesus for mental health and good health. Great video and helps me continue my good health journey.
Thank you for this video. Even though I don’t struggle with eating disorder but I am struggling with mental health issues and this has helped me remember that God is there with me and not to give up. Many blessings.
God is so good! I just discovered your channel today and when I came across this video I felt like God was really speaking to me. Thank you so so much! You are truly an inspiration!
You were blessed... With freaking gorgeous hair and you look so pretty naturally. I wish. Ugghhh I shouldn't say that but I just hope you really see that you are so beautiful.
Love those verses!!! I'm getting into eating more healthy myself, and learning that cravings can change with diet.we are blessed by your videos and always tune in.🙂
Hi Ashley! Great video and very encouraging for the people who are dealing with this. Can you please do a video on how to overcome dealing with intrusive thoughts?
Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel like everything you talked about can relate to different types of disorders as well, and I agree with you. Jesus Christ is our Living Hope🙏 God bless you~
I feel with ya sistah. Fighting it right now. A relaps of binge eating disorder and recovering obesitas. I am on the right path back again for it is in my thinking. Covid isn't helping and the lockdown here is getting me hard. So i need to focus on other things. Thank you for sharing. It helps me a lot.💖❤💜💙💛💚
I just want to say thank you for this video, I have been struggling with anorexia and I don’t know how to get back to eating the food I enjoy and I was wondering if you had any advice for me?
Hey friend! You are not alone. I would highly encourage you to get help! You cannot do this alone. Talk to a trusted friend, adult, parent or mentor. :) praying for you!
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Hey Sydney! Just wanted to emphasise what Lizzy said about surrendering ur struggles to Christ. I know its not an easy thing to do at all, cus when i had anorexia and another body image struggle, i literally wanted to control everything, clinging on to what i believed gave me confidence and assurance, not wanting to give it over to God. It was only through God allowing certain, not so pleasant, things to happen in my life, that i was funnily enough able to start that journey of healing. And that healing only began through just make a decision to give it to God. Like God, im done with this. Im so tired of clinging on to this and carrying this burden. Take it, its urs. Carry this burden for me. And He did. He really did. Although i still struggled, i began to regularly give it to God. Not that He literally took it away, but my eyes became more and more fixed on Him. And when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, rather than on our circumstances, lots can change. Instead of hating my body, i chose to thank God for my body (even if i didnt feel like it). Thank you God that u gave me legs to walk, run, jump, get from A to B. Thankyou for giving me a stomach that helps digest my food and give me energy i need to function for the day. Thankyou for giving me eyes to read book, see the faces of my family and friends, watch anime, enjoy the sights of nature. At the time, i might not have liked xyz part of my body, but i tried to find ways to thank God for creating them for their function. Quite often i would think of the verse from psalms about God knitting us in our mothers womb, so intricately and carefully with such love and care. That i am fearfully and wonderfully made, Gods works r wonderful, i know that fullwell. I really encourage u to speak truth (scripture) over ur life, because Gods word is true and powerful. And most importantly prayer. Ask trusted ppl in ur life to pray for u. When i was struggling, and i treated my mother terribly, she prayed. Oh she prayed so much more than i could even imagine. I didnt even realised she had prayed for me all this time till i was on the journey of healing. Prayer is so powerful. Anyways i rambled on a lot, but ill be praying for u! Look to Jesus, and He will help u! Just take one day at a time! God sees you and loves you vry much. ❤️❤️❤️
I need some advice because I'm completely struggling. I used to have a best friend who meant the world to me, but then she got me in trouble with my parents (not on purpose). So I had to stop being friends with her. She wasn't a Christian and she was into some bad stuff, but I cared about her so much. I saw her today at the store and we just stared at each other. I am tempted to message her, but I would be going against my parent's wishes. I don't know what to do :(
Pray. Ask God if He wants you two to communicate that He will help your parents to allow you. Pray God puts the people He wants in her life in it and keep the people He wants out out. You can ask people to pray for her too. Did you tell her that your parents made you stop talking to her if so?
Obey your parents. They know what is best for you, even if you don't see it that way now. You know she is in to bad stuf so you also know that for now you have to keep your distance. Just pray for her and then let go. Live your life and let God take care of her.
Eating disorder is a spirit an unclean spirit. And a Christian can have it, wich is spirit of gluttony. But u defeat it through a fast. Wich is prayer and in the word. 😊❤️
“Our hope is not in this world - it is in Jesus Christ” - thanks for this, Ashley. Sending you hugs from Canada! ❤️🇨🇦

I don't knew how much I needed this video until watched it! thank you so much, God bless you and give you more and more wisdom! 💯🌹❤️
what a sweet way of connecting with other girls/women 💝 beautiful the way you speak lovingly and gently. so sweet.
I didn’t know I was anorexic till after my son was born, I was 26. I starved myself. There was always a fight at the dinner table so I’d always say I’m not hungry and never eat.
Praise God I’m there no more!!
Praise God!!!
Used to want to starve myself and wanted to spit out food, because i thought i was heavier than a lot of my friends. My friends would be less than me, and i would be a few pounds more and it bothered me. I wouldn’t say that was an eating disorder, but if i continued i would’ve fallen into one. I’ve always been self conscious about my weight.
God made us all wonderfully, no matter what anyone else says about your appearance, weight, or anything, He says that you are Fearfully and Wonderfully made. Never forget that.
Have an amazing day ❤️🪴
Thank you sister in Christ Ashley for the wonderful verse in the book of psalm. Truly is so comforting when we put our trust in the Lord Jesus
Amen yes! ❤️❤️❤️
I think that you are really confident posting this and God bless 🤗
For His glory!

I’ve been watching your channel for a few short years now and I never regret ever watching these videos. Thank you for allowing God to use you! You play a big role in inspiring me to come back to Jesus 🙏🥰
Bless your heart! Thank you for sharing, Ashley ❤️
Thank you for putting this together! It was really inspiring and a good reminder of the Lord's faithfulness, forgiveness and his love for us! Love you!
❤️❤️❤️
This was very encouraging sis! I have PTSD, depression, and anxiety. And last year I had a miscarriage plus hubby and I both ended up in an abusive situation with some folks where we almost starved and almost ended up homeless again. And that was on top of everything else that happened in 2020. My mental health got so much worse after last year and I’m still struggling a lot. I was seeing a counselor and it helped a lot. But then we moved and I haven’t found a new one yet. I can’t pay out of pocket so I have to find one that takes Medicaid. Prayers appreciated that I find a counselor soon and also for healing and peace. I also lost my Grandmom this past week so I’m even more depressed than usual. I feel like that lady who reached out and touched Jesus’ tzittzit (tassels)! I do have faith and hope but I’m barely hanging on. But at least I’m hanging on to Jesus. 💜❤️🧡💛💚💙
Thank you guys for keeping it so real and you guys are such a inspiration to me more than you will ever know!💛
Praise God!!!!
This is truly encouraging. Repeating what you said: It's perfectly okay to seek help! Don't be embarrassed or keep it in but just know God can use people to help you when you are struggling. I personally can tell you from experience that seeking help was one of the best decisions I made. I used to think seeking a "counselor" would show weakness but it's actually one of the strongest things you can do. God has used people to help me and will do the same with you. Take action! God cares for you and He loves you. Trust Him!! I love you guys.
I totally agree. Seeking help was one of the best decisions I made!!!!
Thank You for the encouragement! I appreciate you telling your testimony of your health journey and how Jesus has helped you to be where you are today. Please keep making more videos!! I know it's giving so many people out there HOPE!♡
You are so inspiring and I love your videos!!!💕💕💕
I have struggled with eating disorders for 30 years, now I’m seeking help. I’m getting weight loss surgery but instead on depending on this I’m learning how not to totally focusing on this but my good mental health. For the 1st time in 30 years I’m free. But I need to take day by day when I’m getting back to good help. I’m depending on Jesus for mental health and good health. Great video and helps me continue my good health journey.
Thank you for this video. Even though I don’t struggle with eating disorder but I am struggling with mental health issues and this has helped me remember that God is there with me and not to give up. Many blessings.
Thank you, Sister for the message.
Girl you're so pretty 💖
God is so good! I just discovered your channel today and when I came across this video I felt like God was really speaking to me. Thank you so so much! You are truly an inspiration!

This made me want to tear up. I can relate 😔
You are not alone. Jesus is our healer :) He sees you and loves you!
No more pain, grief,
Love this! Does anyone have a leather Bible with an open strap like that? I’ve been wanting one but I’m not sure if the flap will get annoying 😂
It can get annoying at times lol! But worth it!!
I just want to say thank you for this video, I have been struggling with anorexia and I don’t know how to get back to eating the food I enjoy and I was wondering if you had any advice for me?
Hey friend! You are not alone. I would highly encourage you to get help! You cannot do this alone. Talk to a trusted friend, adult, parent or mentor. :) praying for you!
Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
Hey Sydney! Just wanted to emphasise what Lizzy said about surrendering ur struggles to Christ. I know its not an easy thing to do at all, cus when i had anorexia and another body image struggle, i literally wanted to control everything, clinging on to what i believed gave me confidence and assurance, not wanting to give it over to God.
It was only through God allowing certain, not so pleasant, things to happen in my life, that i was funnily enough able to start that journey of healing. And that healing only began through just make a decision to give it to God. Like God, im done with this. Im so tired of clinging on to this and carrying this burden. Take it, its urs. Carry this burden for me.
And He did. He really did. Although i still struggled, i began to regularly give it to God. Not that He literally took it away, but my eyes became more and more fixed on Him. And when our eyes are fixed on Jesus, rather than on our circumstances, lots can change. Instead of hating my body, i chose to thank God for my body (even if i didnt feel like it). Thank you God that u gave me legs to walk, run, jump, get from A to B. Thankyou for giving me a stomach that helps digest my food and give me energy i need to function for the day. Thankyou for giving me eyes to read book, see the faces of my family and friends, watch anime, enjoy the sights of nature. At the time, i might not have liked xyz part of my body, but i tried to find ways to thank God for creating them for their function. Quite often i would think of the verse from psalms about God knitting us in our mothers womb, so intricately and carefully with such love and care. That i am fearfully and wonderfully made, Gods works r wonderful, i know that fullwell. I really encourage u to speak truth (scripture) over ur life, because Gods word is true and powerful. And most importantly prayer. Ask trusted ppl in ur life to pray for u. When i was struggling, and i treated my mother terribly, she prayed. Oh she prayed so much more than i could even imagine. I didnt even realised she had prayed for me all this time till i was on the journey of healing. Prayer is so powerful. Anyways i rambled on a lot, but ill be praying for u! Look to Jesus, and He will help u! Just take one day at a time! God sees you and loves you vry much. ❤️❤️❤️

I need some advice because I'm completely struggling. I used to have a best friend who meant the world to me, but then she got me in trouble with my parents (not on purpose). So I had to stop being friends with her. She wasn't a Christian and she was into some bad stuff, but I cared about her so much. I saw her today at the store and we just stared at each other. I am tempted to message her, but I would be going against my parent's wishes. I don't know what to do :(
Pray. Ask God if He wants you two to communicate that He will help your parents to allow you. Pray God puts the people He wants in her life in it and keep the people He wants out out. You can ask people to pray for her too. Did you tell her that your parents made you stop talking to her if so?
Obey your parents. They know what is best for you, even if you don't see it that way now. You know she is in to bad stuf so you also know that for now you have to keep your distance. Just pray for her and then let go. Live your life and let God take care of her.
Eating disorder is a spirit an unclean spirit. And a Christian can have it, wich is spirit of gluttony. But u defeat it through a fast. Wich is prayer and in the word. 😊❤️
Yay firsttt
