Hi
 

Hi Ladies
I know I havent been on here for awhile. But have been having a real hard time. So was kinda embarrassed to post on here. My eating is really out of control. And I just cant get back on track. I am gaining weight. And have even thought about quitting TOPS. I just dont feel as if I am getting what I need. Or maybe it is there. And maybe I just dont see it. I dont know. Sometimes the meetings are over before they start. Like Tues eve. The same lady adjourned the meeting. And someone else said but I have a question. The lady that adjourned wasnt too happy. So its like ok. Why go to a meeting if there isnt going to be one. I can weigh myself at home. Ok. I hope that makes sense.

We got a new car. A week and a half ago. Well new to us. It is a 1995 Subaru Legacy Outback. It had only 48.000 miles on it. In real good shape. We traded in our explorer. It was a 1994. It was starting to fall apart. So I am happy about that. Gets better gas mileage than the explorer. I call it the Peapod. It is green.

How are all you ladies doing. I have missed you. I will have to go back and read the threads. Havent done that. Seems to be some newbies on here. Welcome. I know I need to start getting on here more. But have been having some computer problems also. So will have to call the phone company again. Well ladies. I am thinking of all of you. Hoping that you are staying on plan. Having great losses. Well check in later.

Hey, Lady, it's good to hear from you. You have been missed!!!

We all go through bad times, but you know you can come here and we will listen, give our thoughts, encouragements and help you get the motivation back. Just never, never give up. You are special, a unique person and we are fortunate to have you.

If your chapter is not doing well, step in and be a leader. Maybe not an elected officer. But you can lead! Talk to your leader and tell her how you feel. If this doesn't work, is there another chapter near you? Maybe you need a change. If there are others in your chapter who are discouraged, maybe starting a new chapter would be an option. Talk to your Area Captain. She might be able to make some changes.

We have a night ever so often that we just have a discussion and give members an opportunity to tell what would help them, or if they have problems, to air them. It seems to go over big, and it gives the executive board an opportunity to look at the way things are conducted and maybe make some changes.

I know they say that motivation has to come from within, but please know that we are here to help, just for the asking!!!

I have not been on alot lately. I have been busy, and this week I did not plan my menus, and it shows. I gained 1 pound!!!So it is back to planning and journaling. That helps me. Maybe recording what you eat on the thread would help you. Please join us, if you think it would. I'll be back on this week!!!

Need to get to bed, I have a full day tomorrow.
