Spiritual anorexia is an aversion to reading and digesting scripture.
Matthew 4:4
“Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God”
Deuteronomy 32:46–47:
Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.

3. The Bible reinforces my convictions.

James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

Psalm 1:1-3 NIV
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. [3] He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
