Finding Balance: A Rabbi's Prayer for Diet Success

Please Hashem - You created the power of will within us, influenced by a higher will. Open for me the gates of mercy and will. Open for me the gates of physical and mental health. Help me strengthen my willpower, so my body listens to me and does not lead me against my wishes..

Please Hashem - Guide me in the path of truth to make decisions I can follow through. Strengthen my willpower to accomplish what I have decided..

Please Hashem - Help me overcome the urge to eat, to consume only the right foods, in the right amounts, and at the right times. Let me not eat out of sadness, despair, or boredom, but solely for the well-being of my body and soul..

Please Hashem - King of Glory, help me respect myself, so I neither be ashamed nor shame others. Grant me success on my path. Amen and Amen..
