Kelly Vegas
Hear Kelly’s rivetting story of a girl trapped in a whirlwind of self-starvation, self-image then finding herself in Christ!
We live in a world today obsessed with being thin. Everywhere you look you are bombarded with ads on weight loss and super models glorifying their waif like bodies.
Growing up as a teen in Southern California my emotions were too painful to endure as my life was spinning out of control. The only thing I could control was my food and my weight. I started to starve to numb my feelings and I became obsessed with being thin. Anorexia brought me comfort in my pain. It provided a sense of security in my chaotic family. It numbed all my feelings and gave me a false sense of control. Anorexia made me feel like I was invincible. It became my everything.
I found myself in the grips of its deadly control. I starved myself down to deadly weight and at 16 I found myself in the hospital after suffering a heart attack. Yet that wasn’t enough to stop me from starving. Suddenly I found myself in a battle of choosing to live or to die.
