Pen Pal Goodie Boxes?

  • Popular Post

So, I was thinking, how fun would it be to have a monthly pen pal? Someone new each month to send a box of goodies or things that you have found helpful. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now and would like to get started. There would of course be a spending limit and some general rules but I wanted to get a feel as to if anyone would be interested in participating.

If you are interested reply with an email that I could send you more info to. I would love to get this started!!

I'd love to participate next round also!

I would like to participate, but I have a couple of questions. Is this email exchange oriented towards bypass folks or sleevers? Or does it not matter? Also, what would be some appropriate items to put in a box? I suppose Snacks are out of the question, LOL! :)

Good questions!! This is for anyone that is looking for support. You can send anything that you have found helpful in your journey, snacks, journals, clothes, books, shakes anything! If you would like the program rules send me an email at tashapettit@gmail.com and I'll get them sent out to you. ;)

I really don't think I will be getting a box from my pen pal this month. I have only received one email from her, fifteen days ago. She sent me a message with her mailing address, and said she was so ready to mail out my box, but I haven't heard anything from her since.

I did my part and mailed out her box 13 days ago. This is the first time I have not received anything.

I know your frustrations. My intention on starting this program was for us to help each other not take advantage of each other. I too, have been stood up a few times but I know those pen pals that I've had are very appreciative. :)

Don't give up, there are some great pen pals out there.

Has anyone who signed up in January, 2014 received a pen pal yet?

someone would be kind enough to let me know what they do in an instance like this. Hello there, it's been 2 weeks since my operation and today was a very difficult day. I was craving sweet stuff so badly and I just could not for the life of my change my mindset. I am a little fragile today and scared that my mind will let me down. Please if someone could advise me

It gets easier. Try a protein bar. The Marathon Snicker Protein bars are great and healthy. They almost taste like a real snickers. Fiber One brownies and protein bars are also great!!! The brownies are so good and healthy. I know it seems real rough today but you can do this!!! We have all experienced days like you are having. I promise you that it does get easier. You can also create your own healthy dishes that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
