To ask for a prayer to lose weight is de-valuing the power of prayer, and it vain in the extreme. Instead, I will pray you find the strength of character to overcome your sickness; as well as undertaking a diet and exercise regimen that will correct your condition.

Weight loss is no longer simply vanity. I have struggled with weight for most of my 66 years and am preparing for the lap band surgery. This is not vanity. This is a medical necessity as I am suffering from diabetes, osteoarthritis and asthma which have curtailed activity and involvement in ministry, family life and enjoying my grandchildren. I have prayed through the years for help with this. The roller coaster of loss/gain continued. A local pastor has criticized those who ‘diet’ during Lent. I always endeavored to offer my daily food sacrifices for the benefit of others, Lent or not,. I resented his opinion that to want to be ‘thin’ meant vanity/sin rather than a serious and spiritual effort to care for the body that God has given me…albeit later and not always successful

A prayer card was sent to me by a dear poster on CAF…here is the prayer. May God bless you on your journey back to good health.
Oh good Pope John XXIII, I pray to you, patron of wieght loss
Who knows exactly what I am going through.
Please help me to recognize the causes of my wieght problems
that control me.
To prevent strokes, diabetes and heart attacks-that
someday could otherwise be.
I trust that your healing words will help me to begin
to have power and strength to get rid of the extra weight
so I can be healthy again.

I second that sentiment. Kathy. Phase4 seems to not understand the factors leading to morbid obesity, and its consequences on the human body. Weight loss cannot be achieved for those who have a genetic tendency toward being overweight. Or who are 80-100 pounds overweight. Very low calorie diets fail most of the time, because it causes the body to hoard instead of expend energy to burn the excess fat. It is not as easy as watching calories and exercising. I too have had a constant battle with the scale in my life, and am needing gastric bypass to cause my body to use up the fat it stores unnecessarily. Vanity has nothing to do with weight loss, but more to do with preservation of one’s own life. Being obese leads to cancer and an early death. I will pray for the op’s health to improve and for the op to find some sort of medical help in achieving the goal of weight loss. Hang in there you two!
God Bless

Alex,
if you could extend a prayer for success for my gastric surgery it would be much appreciated. I understand the ups and further ups of the numbers on the scale!! Genetic factors have a LOT to do with obesity that isn’t shed by diet and exercise alone. Don’t feel bad about asking for prayers to help you try to lose weight. It’s not vanity when it concerns extending your life by helping your body create a normal equilibrium between calories stored and those burned. And an optimum healthy weight, so you can do what you need to do inyour life for as long as you possibly can.
There are surgeries you can have done to reduce your stomach so that you actually are better able to lose weight and keep it off. Lap band surgery and or roux en y gastric bypass can help you if you are having a constant struggle with more than 50 pounds. Get medical advice from a bariatric clinician or doctor. They can help you with this problem the easiest. Oh, and good luck on your efforts.
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 every evil. Amen.
