Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero
A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople. I loved the community of that place and the support I got there. It was at the height of us being on our game. That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation. You start to feel human. You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere. You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned. Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away. We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively. When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...
I can't wait to see where your food photography takes you! I already think you're food pics are good enough to eat!!!
ReplyDeleteOhh all of your meals look delicious!! I agree with Becky, I admire your photography skills! And your food decorating skills too! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't take heated parmesean cheese. I don't know what it is about it. I'll put it in my meatloaf/meaty balls, or on top of spaghetting (all covered with cheese, there was a poor meatball than somebody sneezed...), then again, I don't really like the smell of any heated cheese. Yes, I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteWhat's un-Jack Daniels sauce?
My FIL likes his eggs practically burnt. He calls them 'fried hard' - I call them rubber.
What else? Something about the apple dip being on your high calorie day OH! The pudding. I know you weren't out of Skinny Cows, I just saw them in your freezer yesterday (I sound like a stalker). What make you want the puddin'? Now I have Bill Cosby in my head. Thanks.
Thanks for the props guys! That means more than you know!
ReplyDeleteLinds- I call mine "firm." I enjoy it when someone in a restaurant can cook them properly (though it's loaded with butter then) but I'm just not patient enough for "low and slow" where eggs are concern. It's a goal to work on this year. Apple dip is every day but the serving differs based on available calories. The tape was done earlier in the week so the skinny cows were gone and it was puddin' time! :-) Regarding the cheese thing, yes, you're weird! LOL
Love the look of your blog!!! Hope you have a great weekend!
