Thanks Candra & Nicole, just came up with the idea of the "heavier' outfit, because I am such a visual learner, so glad you girls didnt start singin! lolol But now I have tears in my eyes, CANDRA, been a long time since someone called me that, Thanks!

Nicole, what if we carpooled? Would that work? Fairfield is doable, I go further for the fills, that is only half way, hehe.

So let's work on a good date for the North Bay Babes! :thumbup:

Id have to ride with someone else, cause i cant take the car for that long.....:thumbup: I think it would end up being a weekend.. since most the girls who normally come to lunch are on theri lunch breaks.. (the state workers:) )

[AudsMom 2]

OHHH and if we do it in fairfield, that's where Sheena lives! So shed be able to come, and didn't i see a post a few ago about something??? :thumbup:

[AudsMom 2]

Ok im sitting here watching i dream of jeanie! LOL i havent seen this show since god knows when....:thumbup: BUT it got me thinking, this year we can wear the cheap store haloween costumes! And be what we ACTUALLY wanna be. Ive never had that before lol.. I always had to be a baby, or ghost, or something i had the clothes for, or something where ucan buy the tail.. yeah pathetic..

I could do Fairfield on a Saturday - Heather you could ride with me and anyone else in Sacramento - I have a mini van. Just need some notice so I can get my mom to watch my kids.

I have had way too many carbs today - had cheerios for Breakfast, wheat thins for lunch, some pork and a small piece of cornbread for dinner. A single mom friend of mine and her son came over for a few hours this afternoon and we had a nice time. Since dinner I have felt antsy and not in a very good mood - maybe it's the carbs I had today.

Now that I caught up on the posts, I am off to bed - 5:30 am comes quickly. My son and I are going to try the Teen Skills Group tomorrow evening to see if it helps - he was really moody today, which didn't help my mood. Deep breaths. :thumbup:

B: Egg 80 Cal

S: 10 chips, 25 pretzels 350cal eek (spread thruought the day...)

Hey all yep Sheena wanted to get together with everyone!!

I think Fairfield is a maybe for me depends on the day and time.

Next weekend I have family coming..........

.my daughter was upset we talked so long yesterday. She was suppose to go with her friends yesterday and now I think next time she will!!! LOL. I told her to go have fun but she cancelled that last minute. She goes back to school in three weeks so she won't be with me as much anymore. I am trying to not have her so involved cause her dieting and focus on healthy foods is sorta annoying me at 14 years old. She needs to be a kid!!

Ah Donna that is right you are a teacher thus the visual learner thing!! I am a visual learner too so I got it. And that is also why your so chillaxed up front!! I was so impressed you did so great!! Can't tell you how great you did...........totally impressed!!

I think that some people make the group a priority when they can and some people don't. We have to respect that. Not everyone can come to the events and some people might now find them as needed as others. For me I know I need to come cause I am an isolater when I am not doing well.........I just fade out or disappear. So I make the groups a priority cause I need them. But other people might not have the same need...........they might actually do better on their own than as part of a big group. I think we have to plan for the majority but respect where people are at ..............for me I will cancell other stuff to come. I have done so the last two support meetings............but a couple of months ago I was not there and let other stuff come first.........depends on where people are at. But I doubt we will ever get everyone and my guess is some people will fade out or come and go........the nature of any group..............

So I say we plan and people will do what they need to do and come when they need to............:-)

For me I know I need to come cause I am an isolater when I am not doing well.........I just fade out or disappear. Lately I have been tempted to isolate since I am having my 12 week roller coaster emotions. Liz and Dr. Baggs said that might happen after surgery. So I make the groups a priority cause I need them. But other people might not have the same need...........they might actually do better on their own rather than as part of a big group. I think we have to plan for the majority but respect where people are at ..............for me I will cancell other stuff to come. I have done so for the last two support meetings ( I gave up meeting my baby cousin for the first time yesterday to come)............but a couple of months ago I was not there and let other stuff come first.........depends on where people are at. But I doubt we will ever get everyone and my guess is some people will fade out or come and go........the nature of any group..............we have to let people either make meeting up a priority or not.

I am sure as time goes on we will gain people and we will lose people..............

So I say we plan and people will do what they need to do and come when they need to............:-)

were back from the festival, was a lot of fun. I thought it ended at 5 but it was 6 so all that fartin around so we wouldn't have to stay long didn't work. LOL

I'd be down for a Fairfield or even a Vacaville meeting spot. :thumbup:

Candra just bite the bullet and call and get that appt around the same time as me. we can starve ourselves together... hehehe

[Desperate1 1]

I think that's a great idea, tina, lets just plan it and see what happens - I'd like to do my best to be sure that everybody who wants to really come, can. Like we should plan it on a Saturday or Sunday so work doesn't get in the way, plan it in Fairfield this time so Riley can come and plan it a month or so out so as to give people time to rearrange their schedules.

Nicole, maybe your husband can bring you to sac to meet up with pam and you can ride with her.

Anyway whatever you all plan, I will be there

[AudsMom 2]

yup tina you are right! I canceled a trip to santa cruz last meeting, then this month we were supposed to go to the bay but we changed it to during the week instead. I try to make every effort to make it, because I do much better with the support. I also know people who do better alone:D I love our group:) But i doubt EVERYONE will ever make it.... unfortunately...:thumbup:

[Desperate1 1]

haha Jes, i plan on it! I'm going to call the office first thing in the morning. when is your appt with Liz? If I get mine right after yours maybe you can come in with me and hold my hand :thumbup:

[smallerj 2]

looks like a bunch of us on tonight...I'm only good for weekends since I work in SF. I like hanging with the group. All of my friends are smaller than me so with you all I'll in my comfort zone.

[smallerj 2]

my appt time is the 10th at 9am. I got the card in the mail today. I wish there was something else i could do but I guess I'm taking a whole day off just t meet with Liz.

[smallerj 2]

Sorry my typing is the pitts tonight
