Beat your eat-repent-repeat cycle

Tops Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) met in the United Methodist Church, 201 E Broadway on Thursday, August 27, 2020 for their weekly weigh in and meeting.
Carol led us in singing the song Jan picked out for us “My Favorite Things.”
We welcomed a visitor, Claudia Gaylord, our Area TOPS Advocate.
Susan led us in roll call. 21 weighed in today, the chapter had a 13.6 gain and an 18.6 loss resulting in a 5.0 net LOSS!
Best loser was LJ with a loss of 3.8 lbs. other great losses were, Judy D 2.4, Judy K 2.8, Robbie 1.6,
Marie showed us the stage decoration she made for ARD. It is beautiful.
Marie and Margie and others will be doing a skit for ARD.
Marble game: Carol won the right to draw, but did not get the winning one.
Laura presented the program today. Laura makes things fun for us even learning how to follow the exchange program! Laura dressed as a unicorn and had healthy (and some not healthy) snacks for us (all in teaching us how to choose the right things). She covered chapter 3 and chapter 4 in the Real-Life Book. Chapter three is mostly sample menus and she suggests everyone try using them. Chapter 4 covers “How to break your EAT-REPENT-REPEAT Cycle. It explores Why do I eat? When Do I Want to Eat? What do I want to eat? How do I eat? How Much do I eat? And Where do I eat?
This chapter is quite long and requires a lot of thought and discussion. We will be exploring this chapter more in weeks to come.
With no other business meeting was adjourned with the thought of the day. “You don’t drown by falling in water. You drown by staying in there”
