Hey everyone got this email from MS. Judy Nutt and wanted to post it for her so everyone will know that the meetings have started back. Hope everyone has a great weekend. missy Hey You’se Guys !!! Well, we had a bit of a “vacation” from the support group – August & September.  We were having so few people show up – that I felt maybe everyone needed a “break” or something.  I hope the decline in attendance was just from “ballgames” & “vacations” & the like -- & not just a loss of interest.  I know “I” need “ya’ll” – to keep “me” on the straight & narrow – so a lot of me wanting to keep the support group going – is purely selfish – because I need to stay focused & do what I’m “supposed” to do – to keep from gaining weight back – after gastric bypass surgery -- & meeting once a month helps those old habits – not try & sneak back into my life. 

 

I put the announcement in the Meridian Star – this time  under the “Community Calendar” – hoping it would draw folks who maybe have not heard about our group.  I didn’t know this could be done – free of charge, til I saw & spoke with Shelly Atwood ---who by the way is a TOTAL inspiration to ALL !!!  If you know of anyone who might be interested in joining us – please tell them to come or call me.  It’s truly for ANYONE even remotely interested in the surgery – before OR after.  Each of us has “some” pearls of wisdom to share & it could be a great help to someone else – you never know !!

 

I hope to see you all Monday evening – to share with us all - any & everything you’re going through.  We want to be there for you to cheer you on or even give you a shoulder to lean or cry on.

 

Please come to the East Mississippi Electric Power Association auditorium & use the south end of the building - door entrance to the lobby at 5:30 pm – Monday – October 1, 2007.   Also, would someone be so kind – as to please post this on the Obesity Help site for me. I would truly appreciate it.

 

I love you all & look forward to seeing you soon !!!

 

God Bless & be safe,

Just a reminder that today is BBQ day!  Starts at 3pm at Ridgeland First United Methodist Church.  Jackson street in Ridgeland!   Wanna know something funny?  We're not having BBQ!!!  LOL I decided against it since so many can't eat it (like me!)   LOL So, I'm making these divine little shishkabobs!  ;-)  Gonna be good. 

It's potluck, so everyone bring a side dish or desert!  ;-)  Or drinks!  ;-) Hope to see some of you there! HUGS K call me on my cell if you need directions or anything...  601-951-0568

Leticia just called me and asked me to post this... She just found out that Jan has lost a lot of blood, like half of her blood, but they don't see the bleeding anywhere!!!!  Her husband left work to immediately go to her side so neighbors are being asked to check on her elderly mother that lives with them.  PLEASE keep Jan and her family in your prayers or whatever you do to send good vibes!!!! I know Leticia will keep you posted as she gets news!  I don't think she is still going home on Saturday now!!! Here is the link to her support page if you want it... http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/status.php? N=W1155933325 thanks for your support!!  hugs, Becky

Hi, A friend suggested that I post a message here because there are members here who no longer need large sized clothes and may be willing to help out a Katrina survivor who wears a size 5x/34W and is in need of basic clothing. It looks like she's being donated some pants but needs almost everything else and has no funds to buy new clothes. Her needs include: blouses, underwear, nightgowns, pullover dresses-casual and size 8 1/2 shoes. She has only one pair of shoes. She's also in need of a winter coat or jacket. IF you think there's anything you can do to help this person with some used clothes, please let me know. Linda Berman, Exe. Dir. [email protected] Katrina Home Drive P.O. Box 237073 New York, NY 10023
