Elle,

How are things going with D and new school? I wish you much success on losing weight. I have gained and lost the same four or five pounds over and over. I need to lose a lot more but I seem to crave sweets and trying to resist them while restraining myself from either pursuing or getting even with H is about all I can manage. I quit smoking about two years ago. I have quit a couple of times before but H still smoked. We both quit this time. Everytime I quit I put on some more weight which did not all come off after I began smoking again. Enough about me. Good luck in your weight loss and if you have any tips please share them. I am so frustrated, I have considered bariatic surgery.


Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
