Say A Little Prayer

I love Woman's World magazine. The front page always has a diet showcased on the front cover and it contains health information, recipes, stories, and bytes of information that you may or may not need to know, but are interesting nonetheless.

While I was doing some more journey preparation reading today, I came across a little tidbit of information that I had clipped from the Woman's World magazine. What made me clip the article in the first place was that it was a prayer created for an eDiets experiment where 2000 volunteer dieters said the prayer three times a day and lost an average of 4.5 pound in two weeks, some without even dieting. One dieter name Kim said, "When I finally started praying for help with my weight, it showed," Here's the prayer tip verbatim from the article:

"Dear God,

I surrender my body and my weight loss to your divine care and love. I ask that you remove all excess and unnecessary weight form my body. Return my body to its most helathy and balanced state. Give me eating habits that support my health and life energy. And, finally, teach me to love my body and to care for it from this day forth. Amen."

I know I've said aloud and to myself a few times during my second career as a yo-yo dieter, "Lord, Help me lose this weight." However, my prayer has never been longer than a sentence for one of the biggest road blocks to my personal path of success. Maybe I'll add this prayer or create another as I develop and adopt strategies for my own weight loss success.
