TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church, 1300 S Summer St, El Dorado Springs, Mo on Thursday May 13, 2021 for their weekly weigh in and meeting.
Linda Hall, Leader called the meeting to order.
Carol led us in singing “I Want To Be At That Meeting”
We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.
Linda Hall got caught up on some awards she was unable to give out last week:
LJ received a certificate for 2nd place division winner in 2020 with a loss of 10.6 lbs.
Laura received a charm and certificate for 1st place division 3 winner.
Ray B received a new member welcome charm and certificate.
Judy B received a charm and certificate for bringing a new member into the chapter.
Ray also received a charm and certificate for reaching his KOPS goal.
Carol received a certificate for KOPS in black with perfect attendance.
Linda H led us in roll call and walking report. 19 members weighed in. We had a 7.4 loss and a 5.4 gain resulting in a 2.0 NET LOSS! There was a tie for the week’s best loser; Warren and Laura each lost 2.0 lbs. Congratulations to both of you.
Laura reported on the contest. Remember to be sure to let her know if you lost and how much so she will know how many tickets you get. She had gifts for those who are struggling with getting on track.
Laura also had the program today: She took her program from TOPS News March/April 2019
Titled Emotional Freedom;
She asked us to get pen and paper ready as she gave us 8 most common emotions and to think how you feel when faced with each emotion.
They are:
1. Anger
2. Anticipation
3. Disgust
4. Fear
5. Joy
6. Sadness
7. Surprise
8. Trust
She then talked about how to eliminate bad responses to emotions.
Ask yourself, can I let this feeling go?
Am I willing to let this feeling go?
When will I let it go?
This is an invitation to yourself from yourself. You are taking control over the feeling instead of letting the feeling control you.
Love yourself for who you are.
Thank you, Laura, for a great program, love the ones that get members talking and throwing out ideas.
Marble game: Pat won the right to draw and she got the winning one. She won $40 and the chapter got $40. Congratulations Pat!
Linda Hall said a new Summer contest starts June 6. She will have the information for us soon.
