I could really use some prayers. I’m having an eating disorder. I really just can’t stop eating junk food. I need to lose 50 pounds to get back really to a healthy weight and it was my goal for 2015. But I’m making no progress and just can’t put down the junk food. I really don’t know why.

I really hate feeling bogged down and unenergetic. I’m 24 and I’m heavier now then I have ever been before. What’s worse, I’m at high risk for heart disease and diabetes based on family history. I should know better. I really need to Lord’s help just to get me back on track before something bad happens.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Try reading a good book. It will relax you and get your mind off of eating for a while. Praying for you, for your health.
 
Gracious and merciful Father, please come to their assistance.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
 
I’ll attach you to my next rosary. I too struggle with an eating disorder…you’ve lost your freedom, and I’ll pray you get it. Hang in there Drew.
 
Praying for your intentions. I am in recovery from a binge eating disorder and I know how you are feeling.

St. Margaret of Cortona is often cited as a patron saint for those who struggle with gluttonous behavior. You can find a novena to her online to assist you with your problem eating - I have prayed that and found it very helpful.

If you want to PM for more suggestions, feel free. I will keep this post just prayer-related, though. 🙂

God bless you.
 
1 Cor 10:13 (NIV) No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

They say weight issues are not about what we eat, but what is eating us (emotionally, that is). Good luck in your journey and I pray for you to have the strength to surrender that part of your life to Christ.

Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.
 
This prayer has been suggested for those who are seeking a simpler diet.

BLESS us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts
which we are about to receive
from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord.

*And, in support of a more humble diet,
add the following to the above:
*
Thank You for such humble and simple food;
may it fulfill all of our physical needs,
for without even Your most lowly of gifts
we would perish. Amen.

:signofcross:

God bless you as you deal with your dieting and health issues, Drew.

Prayer for a Miracle

God of all creation, you who spoke a simple command and brought forth light from
the darkness, I ask you now to send forth your miracle-working power to heal Drew518. You cleansed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind and by
speaking a simple command, you empowered the crippled to rise up and walk.
You sent forth your life-giving power to all those in need, including those you raised from
the dead. I ask you to send forth your healing power into Drew518’s body and give him the strength to fight his illness. I ask this through my Lord, Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
