      From AlyssaJoy July 13, 2007

      Hi Sweetheart! I saw your profile and thought you could use this: I asked the Lord to bless you in such a special way. That you will know within your heart that someone prayed for you today. I asked that you would know, you are loved & cared for, and to bring you a sense of peace. That your day will be perfect and your sorrow will decrease. I asked He grant you strength and happiness and answer every prayer. And wrap you in His arms with His protecting care. I asked that He fill each day ahead of you with blessings from above. So that you will know, your whole life through, the fullness of His love. May this prayer today and God's endless love for you. Be the help and inspiration to bring you through. Have a BEAUTIFUL day!!! Alyssa

    • Open Food Addiction

      I've been big my whole life and have an odd relationship with food. I can go for 2-3 weeks without eating hardly anything and then my period comes around and I eat everything in sight - even stuff I don't like! And I don't lose the weight even when not really eating.
