I have been going to a support group close to my house.  I liked it ok, but did not really bond with anyone there.  I was going to the one my surgeon does tonight because my sleeve sister was going to be there and I was looking forward to seeing her.  She ended up having to work late and could not make it but I was already close to the meeting and decided to go anyway.

I am so glad that I did.  I found my peeps.  It was like finding a bunch of you guys there.  Ok, there was one of you guys there, but I won't out them!

Anyway, I found so many ladies that were how I wanted to be when I finally hit my goal and maintaining.  I know that some of them followed the same plan most of my OH heroes do.  It was nice to be in a room full of people like me and they were so stinking nice. 

I will be driving to this meeting from now on.  I just felt so much different.

I guess if you don't feel at home at a support group, find another one.  I was so glad that I tried it.

That is great! What part of Texas do you live in? I am looking for a meeting in the Dallas area.

That's great!  When I saw your title I was worried this post would be about marshmallow peeps, lol!  A good support group is way better. :)
