I've updated my link to the 100-Plus Loop to reflect its new location with Yahoo Groups. Beware, if you are reading their FAQ, because the address there hasn't been updated yet. If you're not familiar with it, it is a listserv for people who want to, or have lost one hundred or more pounds. I met a few of them at the OA region 6 convention in New Hampshire last fall. Tres cool, because now I can actually put a face and a voice to their posts.
In fact, the whole trip was cool. I travelled south in my minivan with 3 other women from my OA groups and we shared hotel rooms. It was one of the few times in my life that I laughed so hard, I thought I was gonna puke. It was a unique social situation, because these woman had heard all the stuff I blurt out in the groups, knew some of the most painful secrets and absurdities of my life and vice versa. So we were at a level of honesty that you usually don't get with many people beyond your closest friends. AND there was no pressure to overeat! When else can you get that when travelling?
Maybe if we do the classic middle aged lady thing with these chicks some day and do a cruise, we can find something else to do than inhale the buffet tables. There's gotta be such a thing as a spa cruise... hello Oprah?...
