Wa-Rite

At the April 29 Wa-Rite meeting, the topic was regrets. The meaning of the word “regret” is a loss or missed opportunity in life. People may have regrets toward their health and what they could have done differently, so they must learn to transform their regrets into a positive force. Finding the silver lining of regrets teaches people how to overcome them. Everyone should treat themselves with kindness. People can try writing kind things down to help develop self-compassion. To make a decision that they won’t regret, they can try thinking about how it could affect them in a year. By attending Wa-Rite, people develop the connection of reaching out and learning to change. Life is tough, but so are LWers. When in doubt, reach out. The biggest loser of the week was Melinda Lee, who is down 3 pounds. The total loss of the group was 22 pounds. Wa-Rite meets every Friday at 9 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins end at 8:45 a.m. Annual dues are $10. New members are always welcome.
