How we got started
Mar 12, 2008
I need some help from Angela, Joe and Lysa with the history of A SlimChance support Group. Sandy and I took it about a year ago...maybe a little longer, but it was started by the above three great people. I wasn't there from the beginning, but it was a life saver for me. It kept me motivated and you all still motivate me.
Please post comments on any information you have on the origins of our group.

Support Group Help
I haven't posted since October of last year. I now fluctuate between 182 and 186 lbs. That is a 30 lb gain. I have to stop it and one of the ways I am doing it (or trying to do it) is by leading the local support group in Mobile.
I need help coming up with ideas. I am excited, but can not do it on my own. I have e-mail the Support Group Leaders at Obesit Help and have asked for help with training and suggestions.
I hope to hear back from them soon. I am at work, so I have to get off of here. I am going to try to update my profile more often.
Until next time...Christ's peace

It is me. I am now up to 169.8 lbs this morning!! I ate all weekend...grazed on protein bars, fruit, cheese puffs, carb control ice cream with that darned SF Smuckers chocolate and caramel sauce. I still haven't done my journaling and I still need to get the extra "junk" room cleaned up to start painting like the Dr. said...Still haven't.
DH and I went to the movie yesterday and saw - I forgot the name of it, the new movie about the magicians, it starts with a P...
Oh well, just wanted to check in. I have to be honest with myself, so I guess this is a form of journaling!
Will check in later and update...hopefully on am oreo positive note. When I saved this post, I notice the spacing go off on - a more positive note and it came out am oreo...was that a Fraudean (sp) slip??? I do promise that I haven't bought anymore SF Oreos - they are too good and have 200 calories for 2 cookies!!!

Well I'm back to update this morning. Not a lot to tell. My DD 24th birthday was last night. We ate dinner at my MIL and had cake/ice cream - I found some sugar free Smuckers 'hot fudge.' That way I could have some Carb Control vanilla ice cream with hot fudge while everyone else had cake and ice cream.
I am up a couple of pounds this morning. I am struggling with about a 15 lb gain from my lowest of 150 and will be meeting with my therapist again on Wednesday of next week. My assignments for the week are to begin journaling and oil painting again. My appointment was on Tuesday and today is Friday and so far I haven't done either.
Will come back and post when I can. I have to get to work right now!
Christ's peace,

We are dealing with eating issues and past feelings I had that I am trying to 'comfort' with food.
He asked me last week what I do for fun, and I couldn't really think of anything besides getting on OH, eating and watching tv...oh yeah I do the puzzles in the newspaper while I eat and watch tv.
Today I told him that I used to paint...oils. I haven't painted since I went back to work 8 years ago. My assignment for this week is to get my extra room clean so that I can seet up my paints, journal...maybe write a letter to my mom and or my dad (who are deceased), start to work on a portrait that I had started a few years ago of my mom at the age of 18.
Pray for me that I can get the room clean so that I can start painting. Painting is about the only thing that I can truly say I feel relaxed when I am doing it!
Gotta go so I can get to our October dinner here in Mobile.
Love you all.
Christ's peace,
Connie
