Ok since several of us have fallen off the wagon and then some, maybe we need to pair up with a buddy system. When you see your buddy slacking off with checking daily or any other reason, call that person and check in with that person, motivate each other and be held accountable for someone else too! Do a buddy check in with each other daily or something. If you know someone else is depending on your or relying on you or that someone WILL call you and check in with you wouldn't you have more gumption to do better?

You can even send your buddy special inspirational thoughts, cards, poems, gifts or something to keep each other going!

What do you ladies think?


OK SO FAR WE HAVE:

Laurie
Donna
Jeanette
Teri
MaGreta
Vicki

While we are waiting on others to join, think about a person you feel most comfortable talking to, do you have a regular buddy you chat with on YIM? You need to find someone who you think you could call on the wim and not feel uncomfortable talking to. This is going to be like AA, when you fall off the wagon you can call this person and get that support and inspiration, someone you WILL can on also to give inspiration and to check in on.

Think about it and we can decide who buddies with who when everyone checkks in!

Hi!
You can count me in... this would be a great help!!

Vicki

I'll do it! How are we going to buddy? I'll go read the next thread maybe its in there

Sounds like a plan - I like it!!

Me too - count me in too - sounds good! specially after the 'wedding and family week-end' - how do we go about it?

Lets wait and see how many people will want to do it, then you can either pick a buddy and talk to them and see if they want to be your buddy or we can put names in a hat and draw them out.

I love the idea! Count me in.

Me too!

Back to the top

Ok, I'm in......good idea. Phyllis

I'm in.

Oh, me too. Even with my other challenge, I still need daily motivation, and I'm having trouble getting on this site and posting, because I'm so darn busy now that school's back in session!

Jessica

About choosing a buddy - Maybe we should buddy up with someone we don't know so well - then we'll get to know her.

BUT some people may not feel comfortable calling someone else they dont' know well? Just a thought. What do you ladies think? We will leave it up to you ladies!

Any way doesn't matter. Another thing to think about..... if we choose our own buddies then there's going to be some who feel bad that they can't find a buddy because everyone is getting picked so fast. So maybe the hat idea would be best. That way we just get assigned. And every 1-2 weeks the buddies get drawn again. That way we really get to know others here and become accountable in different ways to eachother. what do you all think????? I would be comfortable with any of you, I feel that we are more like a big close nit circle of friends/sisters. I really like the buddy idea, you ROCK LAURIE!!!!!
