Even though my husband hated to admit it, he has a very strong need for an attractive spouse. Unfortunately, I have gained about 40 pounds since we were married, most of it in the last eight years. I want to meet my H's emotional needs, yet I am struggling with self-control and feeling like I'm a hopeless case when I fail at losing and keeping my weight off. I've seen God at work in restoring my marriage, now I need encouragement to believe that He can help with my weight loss too. Please pray that I would resist the urge to overeat and that God would actually remove my desire for foods that trigger an eating binge. Thank you.

Fahter in heaven, I pray for SB1 and lift her request up to you Father. I pray that you will give her the wisdom and the knowledge she seeks to reach her goal and to do so for the right reasons. Father, I life this woman up to you, one that has been a great source of strength to all of the people around her, especially here at this site. I pray that you will comfort her and give her peace. Father I thank you for bringing her and everyone else at this site that I have come to know. I thank you for the blessings of their friendships and their words. Be with SB1 and give her peace and joy. Fill her with YOUR love and your strength. These things I ask in the name of Jesus.<BR>Amen and amen.<BR>

I too struggle with my weight. It's been over one year ago since I went out on my husband and I feed my depression, gain weight, then get even more depressed.<P>My husband also lets me know that he does not want to be with someone who's heavy.<P>I feel like I'm the only one striving to make our marriage work.<P>I'll keep you in my prayers, keep me in yours.<P>In God's Grace I Rest,<BR>

I know weight gain can be hard but I know you can loose the weight but please do it for your self. My weight goes up and down, but if you try to loose it for someone it doesnt come off very easily but if you loose it for yourself it comes off much easier.. I know.. I have done Jenny Craig and they have a program that can meet anyones needs, financially etc. If you very need to chat about weight please let me know. My weight willl always be a struggle and I know that and exept that. You have to do it for yourself though... <P>GOOD LUCK YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
