OHLA Meeting Friday in Denham!!!

Well, you asked for it and you got, OHLA takes to the road and moves to go where the peeps are. Meeting rooms were a problem and I'm sorry about the libary, but they close early on Friday and the Parks Department is out also. I have made arrangements for us to meet-eat Friday: Ryan's Restaurant 910 S. Range Road Denham Springs They are expecting us between 6:30 and 7 p.m. There's a meeting room, but with a small group, there might be other tables seated there. We are on one ticket, so if you want to eat or feed the kids/family at the same time, just go right in and they give me a ticket after our meal. If you want to give me something to offset the meal, that's fine, but don't let that stop you from showing up. I look forward to seeing all your smiling faces: OHLA members, non members, family, kids and supporters! Onward! Frances

I wish I would have known sooner, we will be out of town we are leaving Friday at noon to go camping with three other families. Please plan another one I would love to see everyone it's just not possible this Friday. Or if no one can make this one can we set if for another day? Tina

I'm up for it If no one else goes and you need to reschedule, just let me know.

I'll be there with bells on! I'm bringing Kelly, so you two can finally meet! LOL.. she is one of my biggest cheerleaders. Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it. Cindee

Hey Hey Hey......I really need to go and get re-encouraged about everything. I know this sounds bad.....but I've reached a two month plateau and I'm not even trying to do better. I hate to sound this way for all the newbie's out there and for all of the ole timers that have met their goals. I've just been so discouraged everytime I look at myself in the mirror seeing all of this skin hanging everywhere. I had planned on being at my goal by now and I'm still 40 pounds away. I'm taking advantage of my tool in the WRONG way. I'm eating whatever I want and nothing bothers my tummy anymore. I wished for the day to come where I'd stop throwing up after I'd eat and the time has come and now I wish my throwing up days were back. The reason I wish they were back is because my stomach would hurt when I'd eat too much or eat something wrong and I"d throw it up and throwing up would hurt. I'm scared I'm on a very wrong path of self destruction to myself. I really do want to go and I have no excuses because I live right here in Denham. I was supposed to work late, but I really need to enouragment and get my mind back on the right track. I need motivation....I'm really scared I've lost it. I will be there with my ten year old son for sure if I do get off in time to go. Have a good night!! Christie

You are not alone, Christie. You me and Ashleigh need a special little pow-wow. She and I had your same conversation yesterday. It is possible to get back on track and back to the path that our tools afford us. I believe ... believe with me. Frances
