Day 99, week 16

So I talked to you before I went to class yesterday. Weigh in was to be expected. Gain nothing/lose nothing. I weighed 170. Oh well.

Counselor asked the burning question. Stay in program and meet a new group of people just entering the program or go to maintenance...2 of our peeps went to maintenance. The rest ( and there are only 10 of us left) are staying. I have 20 pounds to go. I hated the idea of doing it all again...that's when the counselor gave me a paper called "other ways to lose weight". It had a list of other classes I could do instead of group. They last between 8 and 12 weeks. I signed up to stay in the group BUT I may join one of these other groups. I will give a full description soon and you can help me decided.

In a way I really wanted to be done by now. In another I am a little relieved...I don't know how I would do eating during Halloween and Thanksgiving...

I helped set up a going away party today for a co worker. 3 cakes (one my favorite) fruit, chex mix...all yummy. I had no problem setting up but when I left my tummy was growling and it was an hour before I would have another shake. Tough! I try to think how I would handle that if I were eating and I find myself thankful that I'm not!

Talk to you soon with sound bites and definition of the paper. Will miss you at Disneyland. ;o(

Am I too late to help you decide on a class? :-(

Nope. I still need some help with it. I'm on the fence. I'm going this Saturday (tomorrow, if they call me back) to a newcomers OA group. If that's my deal I'll stay with that and maybe do that exercise Blast one. John thinks I should do that. If that meetings not for me I'll stay in my class until the food addiction class starts. Or maybe just stay in my class and do neither...see? I'm big time on the fence still.
