| "5 or 50" |
Wow. Whoa. What a turnout! Last night, I facilitated the
inaugural "5 or 50” women’s group at the Cascade Park Community Library. 25
ladies showed up to hear my story and share theirs. I arrived to find several women there already in the lobby
chatting. It was the coolest thing. You could just feel the anticipation, the
positive vibes, the buzz.
I started the meeting with a brief introduction and my
theory behind the group. Next, we went
around the room introducing ourselves and what we hoped to gain from the
meetings.
In sharing there were several reoccurring themes:
- Loss of spouses
- Yo-Yo dieting
- Lack of confidence / self-esteem
We discussed sustainable weight
loss, positive self-esteem, mindful eating, and I shared healthy snacking options.
I’d have to say this was a very,very successful first meeting. I am so proud to be able to share my story and help others along the way. I look forward to our
next meeting of sharing, growing, and together finding ways to live positive
healthy lives. Thank you all for coming out. We are beautiful, strong, and
capable.
