Hi All,
Paul has arranged access for me to post and I’ve just noticed the name of your meeting leader – Marti. Would this be Marti Van Straten of the shaking hands? If so, she’s the same leader as I have here at work and all of a sudden her shakes are becoming more understandable.
Maintenance is proving hard. It’s a battle to not go back to the same old eating habbits but your body turns against you and there’s no way back. I had some fried food last week and paid for it big time! Massive heart burn and feeling awful. I’ve been back on the 18 points this week to take of the weight I put on in the last 2 weeks and then hopefully back to the 21 points. It’s hard to think that this is the rest of my life…
Cheers
Nic
Not sure of Marti’s surname, but I do seem to recall a slight wobble of the hands. Long, reddish-brown hair?
Its funny she didnt have the shakes at the start.
I think maintaining ones weight would have to be very hard. Loosing weight or gaining weight is relatively easier (ok gaining weight is very easy), but being stable would require retraining the body and extreme vigilance of ones points.
Yep, I think that’s her. I’ll check with her tomorrow morning whether her community groups are a living nightmare. If she says ‘yes’, I’ll know that she’s your facilitator.
I think the maintenance is hard when you’re still weighing in every week. I think once I go to monthly weigh ins, it might be easier as I can manage the fluctuations easier (I hope)
