An open letter to Obesity (Long)

Great letter!  Where are you in the process?  Hope you get approval and your date soon.

Oh gosh...definately made me get tears in my eyes for the battles you've fought. Im smiling now for the person you are wether your 100 or 600 pds.  You have a great outlook and you will do great at kickin obesity!!

You are very well spoken Juice - I love love love this!!

WOW - talk about some insight!  Way to spend a cold day!  I think it is a great way to say goodbye to your old way of living and invite in a whole new group of REAL friends!

Thank you for sharing with us all - I hope to hear more soon!

Great letter/story!! You sir are a poet.....  thank you

 I'm kinda new around here... trying to get to know folks.  What does one have to do to join the coffee dates?  Is it invitation only?  Or is it open to anyone?

Thanks,
Kristen

No invitation needed at all !   You just show up and wait for someone to see a newcomer and give you a huge..that's the way it worked  for me on my first day anyway. It's like they sit...sip and wait for the newbies  hehe.   I wondered if I would be able to  find the OH crowd, they were the very happy looking group.

 How does one find out when these events are?

Just keep an eye here!  There's a coffee SOMEWHERE pretty much every weekend, and they pretty much ALWAYS get posted here!

I go to the Maple Grove coffee - we meet every other week, and our next one will be Saturday, the 24th.  8:30am (give or take) at the Byerly's on Elm Creek Blvd.  There's a Caribou Coffee inside the main doors, and a large seating area just past that. 

Although that sucker (the seating area) is getting smaller, and smaller every week....  (but then, SO ARE WE!!!!)

you have truely blessed us all with this letter. well said my friend well said.
