		<title>What can I say?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being a Weight Watcher leader is such a blessing to me but it is also sometimes frustrating.  My only desire is to help people make their dreams come true.  I wanted to lose weight for so long.  I hoped I could do it but never really believed I could.  It takes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just love my job!  This week we had a few tearful moments in the meeting room.  One member reached her goal after losing 65 lbs.  I remember when she first walked in 2 years ago.  She was very ill, her doctor actually wrote her a prescription to come to WW. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Esteem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember when I was at my heaviest, I didn&#8217;t feel worthy to stand in certain circles.  You know the ones where everyone is thin and in control of their lives.  How we feel about who we really are can be so complicated when you add fat.  Now I know that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Success?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is your definition of success?  When it comes to losing weight most would say it&#8217;s seeing the scale move down.  But, as we all know, the scale is a fickle friend and often, no usually, it doesn&#8217;t reflect what we deserve.  Here is my formula:   
Success = Effort over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who cares?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a friend who constantly talks about weight.  She says things like, &#8220;I&#8217;m such a pig, or watch out here&#8217;s comes tubby.&#8221;  She also comments on the size of others &#8211; &#8220;You&#8217;re so thin, I hate you &#8211; it&#8217;s disgusting.&#8221;  It&#8217;s all said with sarcasm but it gets a bit tiring.

		<title>Pile it on!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you noticed how stressful it is to worry?  Have you noticed that most of the things you worry about never happen?  When it comes to losing weight I often hear members talk about challenges they&#8217;ll have days or weeks ahead.  We could all start worrying now about Thanksgiving dinner and how [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kids and Vegetables</title>
		<description><![CDATA[April asked for ideas for vegetables and kids.  The number one way to get kids to eat vegetables is for the parents to eat vegetables.  Our children do what we do &#8211; if dad doesn&#8217;t like zucchini, chances are the kids won&#8217;t either.  We have to model healthy habits.  Johnny has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuff it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Emotional eating is an issue for most of us.  I learned a lot from a conversation with a member, we&#8217;ll call her Sally (obviously not her real name).  Sally came in very upset with tears running down her cheeks.  She had gone completely out of control.  It started with going out [...]]]></description>

		<title>What to do??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m trying to find the balance between helping people remain committed to their weight loss goals and bugging the heck out of them.  Barbara (the receptionist for my Thurs. meetings) and I were talking about Richard Simmons.  She saw a special about his life.  He is amazing in his efforts to help [...]]]></description>

		<title>inconvenient</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was speaking to a member who needed a pep talk.  As we discussed her most difficult time of day she said it was the afternoon.  She was likely to overdo it with chips etc.  I suggested she get them out of the house.  I could tell from her facial expression [...]]]></description>
