Mayster Roundup - Pls Check In

We're missing a lot of our original clan here. Too many to even list. I know some of them have been gone since shortly after surgery, some have gotten new jobs, new lives - hey, we all did this to live, right? I think some are still around but for whatever reason aren't posting anymore. There's also a LOT more Maysters we've never even heard from, ever, but I know some of you are watching... Come out, come out, wherever you are! Please check in and say hi. Let us know how you're doing.

I'm around. I usually get a chance to check the messageboards about every 3 days or so nowadays. It's good to be out living life instead of watching it fly by. I'm busy planning the wedding, on the PTA board at my son's school, getting published (I'm now a PAID writer), and generally having all my dreams come true. Only one (major) hitch: I'm still struggling with food and trying to keep my bulimia tendancies under control. I've started attending Food Addicts Anonymous meetings and Overeaters Anonymous meetings. At least I'm recognizing old behaviors and taking steps to deal with them. Love to you all! ~Julie~

Congrats on being a paid writer, Julie! Awesome! And the biggest of congratulations of all for standing tall and taking steps to keep your eating issues in view and working on ways to keep them under control. Kathy

Congratulations on getting published, Julie! That must be very exciting!

Julie, Congratulations on getting published!!!! Woohoo!!! Do you think there is a place for an atheist at Food Addicts Anonymous and or Overeaters Anonymous meetings? I've thought of attending, but, can't get over the higher power thing. Lori

I'm here. I'm always here. Kathy

Hey Betsy!!! I'm alive and well. Life is of course wild and crazy but wonderful too. I've got nine weeks left to teach those Kinder kiddos until summer begins and me and the two kiddos move with dad in the heart of Texas. He's been there over a month with the new transfer in his job and we've been waiting out the school year. It's been hard being a single mom but it's working. I'm making better choices than ever when it comes to eating. I don't dump so sugar is not a problem. When I crave a sweet food I opt for fruit...right now I can't get enough of fresh strawberries/pineapple. I don't want to lose any more weight that's for sure. I'm very happy where I am. I'm doing my best at keeping my exercise, especially the weights. Okay, I did my part! Ana

Good for you Ana!!!
