3-Month Duke Check up
I had my three-month visit with the good folks at Duke today. It was good to see the folks I had seen before (Hi Anne!) and how much they have lost. I met a new lady, also named Cynthia, who did not know about obesity help. I told her about our group and our Saturday get togethers and she SOOOOOO wanted to join us but she goes to work every Saturday at 10 a.m.
I also thought about how come warmer weather, I'm going to be on the road a lot as I am the representative for a national motorcycle organization and that is when I do most of my traveling.
I mentioned something along these lines yesterday to Barbara when I ran into she and Ben out and about. I'd like to see us get together during the week in the evening some. I know there are other groups, the one year out+ group and some others that might meet in the evenings but would anyone be willing to do both? I'd be glad to make all the day meetings I can and still do the evening ones too.
I get so much out of our get togethers. I look forward to them so. And when I have to be out of town (LIKE THIS WEEKEND) and miss the meeting, oh I just hate it. No one "gets it", nor can I talk about it, nor do I get the support or the opportunity to just meet others who are walking the same path - - like I get at the support group meetings.
I have rid myself of most all my "fat" clothes, i.e. everything that is size 22 and up... LOL... that was hard. All my life I've hung on to clothes because "one day I'll need them again". I'm no longer going to set myself up for that weight gain. I'm sorry and do apologize that I did not hang on to them to bring to the swap, and will try to save some of the nicer things for the next one.
Ya'll have fun... I'll be in meetings !
Oh! And I have officially lost 63 pounds!!!!

Hi Cindy,
During the Saturday meeting I'll test the waters re: an evening meeting. I'll also see about sending out a poll on the meetup site to see what the response to an evening meeting might be. I tried it before, but only got about 3 or 4 people to attend. We'll see if there is more interest now.
Congratulations on your 63 lbs loss! That's absolutely amazing!!
Wishing you continued success,
Barbara
