Decluttering your home helps make your eating habits better

TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in The Preferred Family Healthcare building, 700 E. Hospital Rd, El Dorado Springs on Thursday, Aug. 17, for their regular weigh-in and meeting.
Warren, our leader, called the meeting to order.
Carol led us in singing “Take Off Pounds”
We said our TOPS & KOPS Pledges
Warren led us in roll call; 18 members weighed in. The chapter had a loss of 7.2 lbs. and a gain of 9.2 with a net loss of 2 lbs.
Best loser for the week was our fearless leader, Warren, he lost 3.2 lbs. Warren, you are setting a great example for us.
Laura had the program today. She took her program from the TOPS Magazine March April 2023 titled “My Uncluttered Life” Laura asked the members how does clutter in your home make you feel? Several commented how clutter made them feel bad, buried, sad, upset and out of control. We talked about how to start decluttering your life and home. Start one area at a time. When your surroundings are not cluttered your mind tends to be clear and calm and you can concentrate on yourself and your eating habits.
Thank you, Laura, for a great program as usual.
Contest: Laura will have some updates next week. We have three weeks left to reach our goals. So go and clean out that closet and then have a healthy low-calorie meal.
Marble game: Laura won the right to draw but did not get the winning one.
There is $72 in the pot.
Warren said there are food charts available for members to use.
