The Derry Support Group meeting was great. So helpful, thank you all of you.
I will certainly go back to that meeting. Great to meet so many of you in person!

Oh I agree 100%.  I had a wonderful time.  And it was so good to meet so many of you that I talk to almost on a daily basis.  I think I took more out of that meeting than I do the Portsmouth one, and will definately come back.  Thank you Derry group for making us feel so welcome.

I'm glad you all came!  That's the size that our meetings normally are, so if you hadn't been there, it would have been empty!!  LOL!

I've never been disappointed after attending a support group meeting.  Even on the days when I drag myself there, it's always worth my time.

Now I just need to start making the list of things that I need my husband to stop me from doing!  I thought that was excellent advice.

Oh, and the book I was talking about afterwards is called The Beck Diet Solution.  I bought it on amazon.  There's a hard cover and a workbook, but they both pretty much say the same thing.  It's all about teaching yourself how to think and act like a thin person.  It's exactly what we were talking about last night.

I loved the meeting the other night.  I got a lot out of it (the whole guilt thing especially).  Also, I think I'm going to pick up The Beck Diet Solution.  I've now heard about it from several people, and they've all gotten something positive from it.

And it was nice meeting everyone.  I'm going to try and go every month from now on.  That would make one support group meeting every week for me.  Yeah, I know I'm a support group junkie, but I really do get a lot out of them!

I want to make it more there too, I really enjoyed it.  It is just so far away for me, but I will probably go every other month.

I agree...great meeting!  It was nice to meet you all!  I will try to make that meeting monthly.  I struggle with a crazy schedule...but i think its so important to get to the support groups...it keeps me focused.  In between i use this forum...don't know what i would do without all of you!  :)

Sounds like a GREAT support group.  I am looking for a local support group.  I had my RNY at Tufts in Boston and live in Methuen.  Derry would be much closer.  When are they?  THX for any info.
