Lord, I have to get this off my chest. I am concerned about my older daughter's weight. She is (I know, many mothers have said this) a truly beautiful girl, inside and out. She has struggled--maybe not struggled?--with her weight for most of her life. Is there something psychological involved in her weight? Here I am, a psychotherapist, and I am wondering about this!! Is there a fear or an aversion to men and their standards of attractiveness? Is it a biological or genetic phenomenon, given that there are weight problems on both sides of the family, and most extremely on mine?
Please, dear Great Physician, intervene in her life now. Help her to get a handle on her weight problem and allow her to experience a healthy, active, unencumbered body. I don't know how she feels about romantic relationships, but I do know that our bodies are Your temples and that You have made them for such relationships. Please...for her...and for Your sake. Amen..
