Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Lilka, Hi, my name is . I was at the Richmond support meeting last night. I remember your comment about the cherry tomatoes! I was the second person to the left of you. I have dark hair and came in a few minutes late. I liked the meeting except for those 2 "Chatty Cathy" women who kept on talking and talking. They were both so negative! They were also very rude when anyone else tried to talk they continued to talk to each other. Why didn't they just have their own meeting somewhere else? I really felt they tried to monopolize the meeting. I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying something to them. I walked out with about 4 other ladies and I said that the meeting was good except for those 2 and they all started laughing because they were thinking the same thing. I will continue to go though because I do learn something each time and it's great to talk to people who are going through the same thing. You really feel the support and I leave feeling much better than when I walked in. Family and friends always say they understand what we must be going through. But unless you have actually struggled with your weight you really have no idea. Anyway, I continue to work on losing my 10%. I have about 14 lbs. to go. I will introduce myself at the next meeting if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hi Lilka, Nope, that wasn't me. I'm taking care of my grandsons: Connor (7) and Liam (4) this week while working a 9 hour day at my job so there's no time for meetings of anykind - and it shows. I'm out of control with the food this week. Fine until I get home then when I'm fixing the kid's lunches all hell breaks loose and I'm on the run. PBJ being a particular weakness of mine doesn't help. Anyway, my daughter and her husband are home tomorrow and I'll be back home and on my own schedule again. Thanks for the therapist's name. I'm going to call her to see if she knows anyone in Petaluma. You know what, I need all the support I can get and would appreciate any and all prayers on this beginning "hump" of the journey. Love, SherriLilka wrote: Hi Sherri. It is me, Lilka. Was that you at the support meeting last night? I wish you had come over to introduce yourself. But, if it was you, I now know what you look like and can find you in a crowd. What did you think about it? I always like it but last night we were a little dominated by a person who would not raise her hand. The therapist should have told her the rules. Anyway, I found the name of that therapist down here in San Anselmo that my friend went to for a long time before she moved to Hawaii. The name is Peggy Childs. Her number is . She is right behind Red Hill Shopping Center. I may go to her myself some day. I feel so good right now, I am putting off goiing but I have her number and will call her if I begin to feel bad again. I stopped grazing today and ate 3 meals. I always get help from the meeting. I hope to see you some more at the meetings. Love, Lilka Blab-away for as little as 1¢/min.
