Welcome...

Some of us here have been in TOPS for quite a while; some of us are new to it, but we would all like to have you join our chapter.

Consider some of the following questions:

•  Have you ever wished you could lose 10 pounds, 20, 40, or 100 or more?

• Have you ever wished that once you took it off you could keep it off?

• Have you sometimes felt out of step with the world? 

• Have you ever wished your family would get to work or school so that you could get busy eating?

• Have you ever awakened first thing in the morning and felt happy because you remembered that your favorite goodies were waiting for you?

• Have you ever cooked, baked, or bought for your family and then eaten everything for yourself so you would not have to share?

• Have you ever wanted to hide in the house without anyone seeing you or you seeing anyone? 

• Have you ever hidden food so that you could eat without anyone seeing you?

• Have you ever been angry, resentful, or defiant because others were thin?

• Have you ever sobbed out your misery to the dark night because no one loved or understood you? 

• Have you felt the whole world was a mess and if THEY would just think and act like you the whole world would be better off?

In fellowship we extend to you the gift of acceptance. No matter who you are, where you have come from, or where you are headed, you are welcome here. No matter what you have done or failed to do, what you have felt or have not felt, who you have loved or hated, you may be assured we accept you as you are.

We would love to have you join our group.
