A solution that has imprisoned me. <br /><br />I think "to skinny" could be as effective as "to fat." If not at least I would be crying of shame on the inside just stepping outside my front door.<br /><br />This especially hit home with me because my given name is in fact Katrina.<br /><br />I would like to thank you.... My journey begins today.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11715803087287064648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889129926804069621.post-63876276636115469802011-02-06T15:44:47.486-08:002011-02-06T15:44:47.486-08:00Actually St. Catherine of Siena wasn't fasting...Actually St. Catherine of Siena wasn't fasting, she didn't require any other food than the Eucharist, because that feeds the spirit. Many saints have that gift, of being able to survive on the body and blood of Christ alone, and they can feel quite ill if they attempt to eat anything else. There is a woman currently living in a cave, writing about her visions of the Virgin Mary who appears to her and tells her what to write; she eats nothing but a daily Communion, and she isn't emaciated at all, she's of a healthy (or, I've heard, slightly plump) weight.<br /><br />I like your blog, but this is rather a sensitive matter to me, and I don't think I'm being silly though you may think I am, because saints are servants of God, not of anorexia. I mean no offense, but please choose someone who actually suffers from anorexia to idolize; someone who is blessed enough to serve God should not be mistaken for an anorexic, unless they really are.<br /><br />Please excuse me if I sound rude, I can truly empathize with you on what you're suffering, but I feel it is disrespectful to St. Catherine to say she was anorexic as she had to endure accusations of that throughout her life, along with accusations of behaving promiscuously, and many believed her to be insane. Fortunately she was able to defend herself against these untruthful claims.<br /><br />Maybe I only care so much because she's my patron saint, but nevertheless I do care deeply, and I had to let you know.
