Topic: November's Meeting - Guest Speaker
On our November 13th we are having a guest speaker.
The social worker from the Kingston Assessment Centre is going to join us to discuss mindful eating, head games and body image. I'm certain that he will have lots of good tips. Let me know if you have any specific questions or issues you would like him to address other than those listed above.
Please spread the word to anyone who might be interested in joining us.
I would also like to plan a potluck for our December meeting if everyone is on board with the idea.

Topic: RE: the tube is OUT!!!!
Oh I bet you are glad to have that part over with. We didn't get drains in Ottawa (thankfully)
Glad to hear that you are doing so well. I often stalled. I would lose 10-15 lbs then stall for awhile then lose another 10-15. I think my body just needed time to catch up. Don't stress over the scale because trust me; if you stick to the plan it will come off.
Looking forward to seeing you and Wilma on Tuesday.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Topic: New Time for Meetings
Starting with the September 11th meeting our official start time will be changing from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 due to a potential conflict with the Ongwanada Boardroom. Although I suspect that the room will be free and I'll be arriving by 6:00 if anyone wants to keep me company.
Hope to see everyone there. All the best, Muriel

Well surgery has come and gone and come again!! Wilma did very well and was discharged on Wed. As planned while I on the other hand headed back to surgery Wed. Night for a perforation.....oh well life happens and one must go on..I was discharged today and am ever so thankful to be at home again. I must live with my new best friend "Mr Drain" for the next 3-4 weeks so by then hopefully all is healed and I can go on.....
