Hi all, I've scheduled another SWAPKINS March 3, 2012 10:30a - 2:30p. Mary, Mother of the Church (look for this sign) Room: The Mary Center (on the lower level) 3333 Cliff Road Burnsville, MN   There is excellent parking, building access, and there will be carts available to bring in your swap-ables and take your goodies home. Tell everyone you know! Forward this email! The event just gets better with every person who comes.    ------ Do you have clothes that haunt your closet - the clothes that don't fit quite right? Or maybe they do fit, but you don't feel great when you wear them because they aren't your style, or you just don't need them? Would you really like something new to wear? Maybe you've changed jobs or gained/lost some weight and you need some clothes, but you don't want to spend a lot to get something new?   COME TO SWAPKINS! We will have tables and clothes racks loaded with clean clothes in good condition. Clean out your closets and bring clothes to share. Check out what we've got and take home what you like. NO MONEY IS EXCHANGED. We will have men's, women's and children's clothes - everything from casual clothes to dressy. Also outerwear and accessories. The mix is different everytime, but it's always good stuff!   It's hard to explain how much fun it can be to bag up and get rid of clothes. No garage sale tagging! No bargaining with a consignment shop. Just bring them and *poof* they're gone and you KNOW they've gone to a good place.   It's hard to explain how much fun it is to walk into a great big room full of clothes and pick up anything you like and take it home, AND IT'S FREE.   We need bringers (who will bring things to share) and takers (to 'shop' the shared stuff). You can be one, the other, or both! It is not required that you bring anything to the event to take anything away. Everything at the event is free.   Email with questions. See you there! Jen   P.S. If this note was forwarded to you and you'd like to be added the the email list, send a note directly to [email protected] with your name and email address. ===   SWAPKINS is a community event that began in 2006. Participants bring clean, clothes in good condition. The clothes brought in are placed on tables marked with sizes. Then attendees “shop" the tables of clothes with sizes that they can use.  All remaining clothes are donated to charity. No money is exchanged.   This event is typically scheduled every 3 to 6 months. Most participants are from the Twin Cities area, but some do come from outstate Minnesota and Wisconsin .    

I am very concerned about you. You are right....something isn't right!!

Please call the Mayo. They will direct you to the right doctor. Please don't wait any longer!!

Good luck ...I am praying for you!!!

I so need to know the name of her doctor at Mayo. I live near Mayo or LaCrosse WI and I need a revision. I keep losing weight. 5'2" and 96lbs. I am weak and want to die. I am breaking bones. I cannot eat sugar or milk products so I eat salad. My reg Doc wants to put a feeding tube in me and I dont think that is the right choice. My RNY was done in 8/1/06 and the doctors in LaCrosse WI do not want to see me. I have attempted suicide 3 times and the last time almost succeeded.
I go to a Psychologist and the other one. I forgeet things. I have shortened my life. They say my bones are like an 80 year old and I just turned 50 in December.

Please if I can get a name of a good Mayo doc SOON before I give up!!! I hurt so bad!! I am always nauseous. Something is not right!!

Anyone please help!!!

PLEASE!

The team password is coffee.

I think.  I hope I remember correctly.  :-)  Give it a try!

Thanks, Darla.  I appreciate the pep talk, and I do truly hope I am building muscle.  My clothes are fitting fine (not getting any looser, but not tighter either.)

I guess I just have this fear that I will slip back into bad habits, so I need to keep the pressure on myself.  As Kim said, we are always still addicts.  I KNOW that I am a food addict.  I can feel those bad habits creeping back, and sometimes I give myself permission to let them, by using all the exercise I am doing as an excuse.  "You ran five miles today, you can have a cookie." 

I probably can have that cookie.  What I can't do is have five cookies!!  That's what I would have done before, and I want to make sure I don't start doing it again.  :-)

Ran 7 miles today, and had protein first for supper, so I'm on the right track.  Have a good week, everyone!
