When I was a senior in high school, I became very anxious about my future. Concerned about what college to attend and whether I was going to get married, I wanted desperately to know how my life was going to turn out.

I was never satisfied with my figure and was always trying new diets. I thought I would be much happier if I weighed a lot less, so I began starving myself. Soon I had an eating disorder, and eventually my health declined. This lasted over a year. Then I regained the needed weight, but the fear of eating normally remained, and for the next few years I was overweight.

The healing of these extremes came as I prayed and studied the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I gained an understanding that we need never be slaves to human opinions. God's spiritual man is always under His control and perfect government. I learned that the exercise of willpower is not in accordance with the practice of Christian Science. Because God is the source of all true action, man is never the victim of involuntary action.
