[CyberTOPS] Hello, all!

[Donna]

I know it's been a long time-but, I just had to share this link I'd found on
the TOPS.org website.
http://www.tops.org/Member/LeadersCorner/Activities/Dear%20John%20Letters.pdf

It's was first published in the TOPS  July 2009 News-and, I knew I'd to do it
for my TOPS group. It's a great program and gives members a wonderful chance
to get specific mind blowing obstacles off their chest to help them get on the
right track to weight loss success. My group loved writing down and sharing
their 'Dear John' letters. Try it and see how it works in your chapter-it's
definitely a 'thumbs up!"

KOPS hugs,

Donna

format for you to read, copy&paste and share)

Dear Excuses,

Hi. Today I am leaving you in the dust.

I used you and have used you for

years. First, its the stress of having kids, then the

house, then business, and then holidays, including

made-up ones. Ha! Oh, the list goes on and on,

day after day, week after week, and year after year.

Excuses, you are the reason I am heavy. I used to

eat whatever I wanted. Well, no more. Its over

between us. So long. Good-bye. I would say,

See you later, but no, I wont. Lose my number,

address, and the path to my brain.  AE

Dear Little Pizza,

Effective immediately, you are hereby removed

from the premises due to breach of contract. Under

the original agreement, we were supposed to make

each other happy. Also, we were supposed to be

there for each other. This relationship has now

become one-sided. You have taken advantage of

my weaknesses. I have become too dependent on

you. You were supposed to fill the void in my life.

Due to your overpowering influence, you are

evicted from my home!  DG

Dear Mr. Oreo,

You have been a constant friend of mine for years.

We have been through thick and thin, in good

times and bad. You have been my emotional

support. But, alas, I must break off my attachment

to you. I must stand on my own. You are no good

for me. You only give my body sugar support. I

must find a new friend for support. I loved your

filling. I am sorry this must end. Good-bye.  JH
