The prodigal son (daughter) returns:

Good morning BAF,

I am back!  Yes, today I am picking myself up, dusting myself off, and starting this journey again.

Just as the prodigal son came to his senses and returned home throwing himself on his father’s mercy,  I am returning to what I consider my home.  BAF. 

When I started this journey 15 months ago, I was here every day and y’all kept me focused.   I lost 78 pounds.  Then somehow after that first year I got off track. 

I have been off the board for a while, only dropping in every so often, in lurk mode, shame to show my face.

Why?  Because I was not doing what I was supposed to be doing.  But today, I am recommitting to living a healthy life and following the band rules.   Thanks Faith! J

I am not asking for pity, because I know y’all don’t play that, But I am asking for your prayers and support.   Not only does it take a village in raising children, it take a village in losing and maintaining weight loss too.

I can and will do this!

Stay Blessed BAF!

Mitzi,

You are my one of my angels and I know we can stay the course of this WLS journey and succeed!  I support you!

You are a god-send Faith!  I appreciate your love, encouragement and support.
I asked for an angel and God sent you!  I thank Him!
