Hi, ladies, Thanks to all of you who have agreed to join so far. In my next message, I will introduce myself and ask that you introduce yourselves, since some...
Hi Sandra and the rest of you. Who joined anyway? LOL This is a VERY rough week for me diet wise. My birthday was on the 16th, my dad's is today and then...
Sandra, Brigit and the rest, My memories of Thanksgiving are much like yours, lots of food and lots of people and lots of celebration. But in our house,...
I don't have many Thanksgiving memories from childhood, and I have never been fond of the turkey and trimmings. I guess that's a good thing. I have a few...
Yes, Brigit, isn’t is interesting how we come to associate celebrations with good meals? But I think that’s natural in our culture. Wonder why, like some...
Thanksgiving not an eating issue. Amazing! We all need to take a lesson from you. You know, they say if you want to remain your proper weight, you need to...
I just don't like Thanksgiving food, as a rule. I'm no one's exemplar of how to eat in a healthy way. <G>...But feel free to come for Thanksgiving. This year I...
Hi All - Familiar faces and not so familiar faces, nice to be here.... My husband and I are vegetarians so Turkey Day has no real appeal for us. Make no ...
Alas, Arielle, although I have planned a relatively easy and simple meal, I’ m still caught up in more “gotta, should, must, oughta” than I would like. I...
Dear Sandra, Thank you for inviting me to be in this group. I wasn't really sure I wanted to be here and had to "convince" myself after realizing that being...
Dear Diane, What a very good idea, so simple and so smart. I am going to try this at Christmas. I am going home for Christmas, something I have only done...
Hi Sandra, I don't ever remember incorporating Tarot into holidays, as I am the only Tarot Lover in my family. I usally manage to get some journaling done,...
Hi, Bella, glad you found it helpful. We ended up having to go earlier than usual, so I didn't do it myself! But I had done a meditation with the High...
Dearst A, Nice to see you here. I find the older I get the more hermit like I become. I treasure my alone time. I guess my job has so much social interaction...

Who am I? If only I knew. Where am I with respect to food? All over the place. I did not have a problem with weight during my teen and early college years, I...
Hi Sandra, I know you didn't mean to offend, dearheart. <s> I wanted to be very honest right from the beggining, because without the ability to do that, I know...
Hi All, My online and Tarot name is Bella, my legal name is Lori. I am 48, married and have one son, 24 and one grandaughter, 4. I live in the far north of...
Yes, Bella, I too, hope that this will become a safe place for all of us to be honest; and from your missives, I know I was correct in inviting you. It was a...
Many thanks, Sandra, for starting this group - and for sharing your experiences. Kudos for getting your weight down - but more kudos for helping us all...
I am glad to see some friends here--I feel more comfortable sharing among you, since I am a pretty private person. Growing up, I was thin, but I grew up in a...
Nice to hear from you all. I guess it's my turn. :) My name is Brigit and I live in the North East (NE NJ), not far from NYC. I am married 28 years and have...
Hi Everyone, I've been enjoying reading the introductions and figure it's my turn to pipe up. I am currently living in Germany with my husband and our three...
Arielle, I can really identify with your notion that once the ice cream is missing from your freezer, you feel deprived. Even the idea of going on a diet ...
Yes, Diane, I hope this will be a place where we can share comfortably and without fear. There are lots of things I wouldn’t want others to know. Obsession,...
Hi, Brigit, The Weight Watchers cookbooks have quite a lot of low calorie recipes. I do remember when we joined that someone asked our leader what you did if...
It's nice to meet everyone - Annie, Brigit - and to see those familiar faces here, too. Funny how in each and every post, I found something to identify with -...
Based on the one used by Lon Milo, I am a Queen of Disks. While I identify with the Queen as a rank, I don't identify with Disks, so it's a hard one for me to...
