Hollow by Jena Morrow

I am not really a big book reader, However almost a year ago I was told about a book called Hollow, it's written by Jena Morrow.

It's such a life changing book.. When I got the book I wasn't expecting to get much out of it. I was just going to read it, and be done with it.. Of course that changed. Once the book arrived in my hands it totally has been a life changing experience to read it. I do not just read it, I learn from it.

As a Christian I basically let God speak to my heart as I read Jena's story, Sometimes in her writing, it's seriously like she's written down my thoughts, behaviors, feelings etc.. Sometimes it's been almost freaky because the timing has been identical with things I am going through at the moment. I seriously do not know how that happens as I do not read ahead.

The time frame for when I have chosen to read the next chapter is random. I have the book on my bed, if I feel I want to go onto the next chapter I pick it up, if not, It just stays there until I do. I have a couple chapters left.

When I started this book I was consumed with my obsession to lose weight.I am not going to lie and say I am not still obsessed at times but it's not as bad as it was. I do have days when go back into behaviors and thoughts, but it's easier to get out of. A year ago I felt like I was drowning in this, now I feel like i have something to hold on to.

Having my heart totally changed was not something I had in mind when I ordered the book. However I am enjoying my life as best as I can at the moment. I am no longer isolating from family and friends.
