And our tree is decorated and ready for Christmas 
Since mid November when we started with a bare tree, we have a star, decorations, snowflakes and presents added based on our participation in chapter meetings. 
 
For our last meeting of 2014, Sandy introduced "reverse resolutions".  We are supposed to think about where we would like to be like a year from now.For more information on reverse resolutions follow the link below to:

Merrymakers at TOPS 785 Christmas Party
 
 
Our members enjoyed American and Greek food at Grecian Gardens restaurant.  Most of us, but not all, practiced portion control. Personally, I ate everything on my plate.
 
Really Sandy, Two pizzas?????

Santa came early and we all enjoyed our secret santa gifts.
 
To those members who were unable to attend, we missed you. 

We hope all our members enjoy a happy and prosperous 2015.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Topic of the Week
 
Affirmations
 
Affirmations are short powerful statements about a goal which we would like to achieve.  For  TOPS members the ultimate goal is weight loss and attaining KOPS status. 
 
Affirmations are like a software program designed to re program our minds from negative thoughts to positive ones. 
 
All TOPS members attending last evening's meeting submitted affirmations to be displayed in their personal arenas as a tool to focus on positive thought.
 
Two randomly selected affirmations are:
I am assuming responsibility for fueling my body.
I love the feeling of making progress. I feel so good when I eat healthy.
 
Christmas Party
 
Weigh-in at 5:30pm Schuyler Ridge
 
Dinner follows at Grecian Gardens at 6:30pm
 
Please contact any officer or weight recorder if you are not planning to weigh-in.
 
This will allow our weight recorders time to join us at Grecian as soon as the last member is weighed

Sandy's program this week addressed the upcoming holiday dinner.
 
First, a visual with a dinner plate and containers denoting (1/2 cup)
portions.
 
The chart below shows calorie count for a typical Thanksgiving dinner.  This should help us make better choices and still enjoy the holiday.
