For those of you who didn't attend, Just a few notes from today's get together at the Bear in Federal way.

In attendance:
Karrie (band)
Donna (RNY)
Della's mom (support)
Della (RNY)
Leann (band)
Bonnie (VSG) and her husband (sorry don't remember his name).
Brenda and Jeff (both pre-RNY)

So, we finally had 2 guys which was nice.

We played a small get to know you game called two truths and a lie.   Each person listed three items, two being true and one a lie and then we guessed which were true.

Some interesting things I learned, Donna was chased by the Mafia (still waiting for whole story).   Leann was born in Yosemite park, Della has two Bachelor's degrees... there were many more, this just gives you a flavor.

I also shared that Vitalady told me she does 6 protein shakes a day and from her experience, the more protein people do the more they loose.   Interesting thing to know and try.

We also discussed if we are afraid of success and why we sabotage ourselves when we approach goal weight.   Some thoughts were to hide from responsibilities, many admitted we used our weight to make ourselves unattractive to the opposite sex.   We started to have some good conversation on this topic.   I would welcome any additional comments and thoughts on that topic in this discussion thread, please post your thoughts.

Also, anyone else who attended, please post anything you learned today or what you got out of the gathering.

Thanks for posting this Karrie:) Sorry I couldn't make it, had a puking kiddo at home:( He's ok now:)
Sounds like there were a lot of people there yesterday so sorry I missed it.
I went there last Sun for breakfast....holy moly! Big ole portions!!! Good eatin though.
I hope to make the next meeting in Maple Valley:)

I delivered 6 weeks early a 5lb 15oz lil boy:) After spending 2 months on bed rest in the hospital and Mason spending 11 days in the NICU, we're both home and doing great! Mason is getting bigger and gaining weight like he should. Now it's my turn to lose this weight! It's tough to get back on the band wagon...I CAN do this!
