An Anoretic's prayer
(Author unknown)
Dear God,
I wish I could be free from this obsession within:
Nothing else matters as long as I am thin,
I weigh in the morning, and again when I go to bed:
Thoughts of weight, food, and diet fill my head,
I weigh at breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
Always striving just to get thinner,
Everything else takes second place,
To gain even one ounce is to lose face,
If I could only be free from this obsession within,
Perhaps I could start to live life to its fullest again,
How wonderful it would be if my mind was set free:
I know it will take a miracle_ one I hope I live to see,
So give me the wisdom and strength to see it through:
And please help me Lord, I can't do it without you.
Amen
