PNC group last night.

I want to Thank everyone for their support last. night. I really needed tha hug. I am putting your suggestions to practice. Sometimes it is really hard for me to ask for help .  So Thank You

Sweetie you have been there for us. Everyone needs a little extra help from time to time. Are you going bowling on Saturday? Here's an extra hug from me. (((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))

What is the bowling event?  Could you PM with the details if you have them I am trying to get some social time in between my homework and bowling sounds like it could be fun! Thanks!

Kathy, I understand your frustration you have more than enough going on, so feel free to vent, that's what a support group is and you were not just talking about your problems you were asking valid suggestions for coping with out the use of food! One thing about last night that bothered me somewhat is this and I was wondering how we could address this going forward..............................As someone who has lost and regained 100 pounds more than once, I was still always unhappy with the results of my body image.  That's alot of what was said last night.  I want to find a way to make peace with that issue and not relive my past, I found it depressing that many many people feel that way . It really stayed with me all day today  We have to believe we are more than giggle and saddlebags, I would love for that to be a topic of discussion one week.

HI BUFFY!!  How are you!?!?!  I haven't seen you since BINGO!!!  HUGS!

Kathy, you DO have some big stuff going on - I'd be concerned if you WEREN'T freaking out over it all!  But this, too, will pass.  And you did the right thing to come and unload  your frustrations with us.  I hope you truly ARE feeling lighter today. And Buffy, for the body image issue?  Bring it up on the 26th!  It's open forum, and we ALL have our 2 cents! 

Kathy,  I'm so glad you came last night.  You have so much going on in your life.  Support group is the right place to come to get help in coping.  All of us are faced with living life and dealing with the ups and downs without our favorite coping mechanism and comfor giver, food.  These are new skills and they aren't easy to learn.  You can't pick up a book and get them either.  They come as you proceed along your journey and have the courage to reach out for help when you need it.

Hang in there........

 

Thank you so much everyone . That is why I say this board and this group of friends is the best. I won't be qable to make it to bowling thisSat. but I will be thinking of allof you. Have a great time
