Had a great first week OP... it felt really good to be back on track... back to paying attention to food... to myself. 4.4 lbs feels FABULOUS... successful.

I met an awesome chick my first week back named Jean... it was her first week, too & she noticed me filling out the forms & was excited to see someone new, too. I'm not quite new, LOL, but it was really nice to connect w/ someone since I hadn't been @ this Wednesday meeting much & hadn't made any connections yet. Going consistently will help. I didn't hesitate going to my meeting this week even though I'm beyond super busy because I wanted to be there for her. I was happy to see her show up & saved her a seat. She mentioned during our meeting that she was happy to have made the connection w/ me last week, too & that knowing I was going to be there gave her a reason to return.... so that's cool. I could really use a connection like that... a reason beyond myself to keep me accountable. Plus, Pam (my leader) said that if I didn't show up she'd show up @ my house! LOL! I just love her.

Here's to a great week 2!
