Chili Feed
Our Chapter (Buffalo Ridge) A.B.A.T.E. of MN had there chili feed 
Boy did I want to pig out... 
But did good, had to taste some cuz I made it and wanted to know where it sat in taste... 
Was good, and had a lot of people say they loved it. We keep on growing for this, last year we had over 300, and went thru 9 big roasters. This year we had over 500 and went thru 12 roaster. I think we will have to go to 15 next year to be on the safe side... Got to say for not being able to eat and I don't drink (havent' for years) it went really good. A lot of bikes where out in the day time, which is mostly unheard of at this time of year but we have been getting some unreal weather this winter. Hope all are doing good... I'm down 48# since 5 Jan.'05 and feeling really good.

Congrats on the chili feed and the weight loss. Hope you are able to be back in the wind one day. 
Hi PooBear,
Sounds like all at the chili feed had a great time and the word is out that it's the place to be for chili. 
Hubby and I also belong to A.B.A.T.E. Region 18 in Michigan. Our chilli cook off was in Feb. We weren't able to attend, since Hubby and I have been awarded care givers to our granddaughters it's been hard for us to attend meetings. Besides the last meeting I went to I heard a man at the bar make a fat comment about me as we were walking out the door. Pretty much turned me off to attending meetings. I guess I haven't gotten the kahonez to go back. I honestly think my weight has held me back more than I want to believe. When people stare at you like you have a third eye. Not to mention the feeling of embarrassing my husband just by being with him. I try to be really friendly at most parties so that people will talk to me, most times only because I always make the first "Hi, How are ya?!" and force them to interact with me if they want to or not. 
I can't wait to see the reaction on peoples faces after I start to shed the old ways and pounds. Glad to hear your on your way to better health.
Keep the shinny side up!
