Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 >>>LYNN WROTE>>>I just got off the phone with my coordinator and she told me that effective immediately the LAST line of the TOPS pledge is changing from "How foolish I have been." to now read: "I will take off pounds sensibly." Okay, some of you know by now that I have a problem keeping my thoughts to myself, so here goes again. Let me preface this, Lynn, by saying that I'm not shooting the messenger. :>) Our Area Coordinator Kay Brown, made mention at SRD that she was saying the pledge the new way. I am an intelligent person. I will control my emotions, not let my emotions control me. Everytime I am tempted to use food to satisfy my frustrated desires, build up my injured ego, or dull my senses, I will remember, even though I overeat in private - My excess poundage is there for all the world to see I will take off pounds sensibly. Well, heck, that doesn't even make sense! Okay, maybe if a period is added behind "see". There wasn't one when the last line was "My excess poundage is there for all the world to see how foolish I have been. So, if they add a period then it will be like the last line is a separate thought as opposed to a continuation of the sentence. Still, I think it sounds disjointed, and I don't do well with change. :>) Okay, someone call HQ, Janet isn't happy with the change. LOL.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I agree with you Janet...I think that sounds kind ridiculous. It really makes no snese and it just does not sound right. What are they thinking? (maybe they are like me and aren't thinking) Love Pepper > >Reply-To: TexasTOPS >To: <TexasTOPS > >Subject: Re: TOPS Pledge change >Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2004 22:57:02 -0600 > > >>>LYNN WROTE>>>I just got off the phone with my coordinator and she told >me that effective immediately the LAST line of the TOPS pledge is changing >from " How foolish I have been.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Janet I agree with you, I don't think it sounds quite right. I thought it was just me that thought that way.Perhaps if they added. My excess poundage is there for all the world to see. So, I will take off pounds sensibly. Maybe once we get used to saying it, it will sound right, anyone remember when it ended " what a fool I am " TOPS Hugs, Gloria Robbins (ukmumintexas@....) TOPS#TX1686,Bastrop. Don't just wish.....decide. Lose a little more in 2004. Hand in hand together we CAN. 10 year KOPS, 28.25 to goal. A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Hi Pepper, Yep, that is me. I just changed chapters in February, so now I'm at TX1180, Bearcreek. (meets at Bearcreek Park, in Houston) I am the new leader this year. I really miss everyone at TX547 but this is closer to my house and easier for me to get to since I moved out to Bearcreek/Copperfield area 3 years ago. Carol is my best friend. TX 547 is in Northside Houston, near and Airline. Lynn Pearsonwww.inspir-weigh-tions.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 I at first did not place youw ith a chapter but later I figured out who you were. It si hard to keep up with everyone when you only see them one time. I think at Funday was the first and only time I had seen you. I told Carol I believed it was you but she had said she did not think you wnet to SRD and then I was like totally confused!! It was great seeing youa gain. I hope to see you at Funday.
