Group Meetings in Raleigh
I actually just invited you to our group meetings in my response to another post, but here is the information again... We have monthly General meetings on the 3rd Saturday morning of each month at 10am. This meeting is our largest meeting and is attended by anywhere from 20 to 60 people depending on the topic and time of year. I also have special interest groups throughout the month on weeknight evenings. Anyone is welcome to attend any of the meetings, but you should know that the discussions are generally directed to the interests of that particular group. Generally speaking the special interest groups are more intimate in nature and we have somewhere between 4 and 10 that will come to these. We have a Grads Group meeting once a month that is directed to those who have had their surgery a year or more ago. We do have people that are new that attend these meetings because they want to know what to expect when they 'graduate.' The "Beck Group" is loosely based on the 'Beck Diet Solution' book and workbook by Dr. Judith Beck. This group is about learning to think differently about your relation to and with food. It's really about behavior modification. I also have the 'Over 50' Group. This group is directed to members who have a starting weight that puts their BMI around 50 or more. I started this group because we have a subset of members who start with a very high BMI and to be honest, often their journey takes a few different turns than those who 'just' have 100 lbs or so to lose.

I look forward to seeing you at and upcoming event soon.
