What's on the menu today, RNYers? Tuesday

Hey Karen! I'm so happy to be back! I was in a dark place there for awhile but no more sadness! I'm thinking of myself first. I was always told that I was big boned too.

Hey Pam and all my OH Friends! We got a late but active start on the menu post today, I just enjoyed reading through the thread very much! I'm on a short break from my workshop and am relaxing a bit in my hotel room and reading OH!

I told you yesterday about how I was headed to a ropes course last afternoon/evening. I was really not looking forward to it at all - I thought it's going to be hot and sweaty and buggy and sort of annoying - well, it WAS most of those things - but it was also a big NSV for me. I felt confident that I was strong enough to do the physical pieces, I didn't feel horribly self conscious, and I felt more self confidence in asserting my ideas to the group. I've always been confident in a work-type setting, but in a big group of new people - work or play - I could feel my confidence wane, but not this time!

I got up and exercised again this morning since mostly we're just sitting, sitting, sitting and listening and discussing and I think I'll go for a walk this evening to get some more steps in. I'm wearing the cutest dress from GB today, I've gotten several compliments on it (So I'm posting a pic, but it's sideways for me and even though it's showing up for me it doesn't seem to always show for others, especially when I do it from my McBook, so here's the URL: http://www.obesityhelp.com/photos/album/179505/871469). 

Hope everyone has a great day, I look forward to coming back to see the rest of the thread after my afternoon session on "Purposeful Networking."

I've noticed that I'm becoming more outgoing and confident with the weightloss I've already had.

And very cute outfit!

Love the dress Anny! And what a great thing to be more confidant and assertive. My husband always says that he had no idea when I lost my weight I would gain an attitude! When I was heavy I put up with lots of crap because I didn't want to draw attention to myself. Not any more!
