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...
Kicking Ass: That's my plan!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Merry Christmas and HAPPY NEW YEAR and CONGRATS on reaching 200 POUNDS gone forever! What an amazing achievement. Your tenacity and commitment is something I've never seen before and a constant reminder to me that ANYTHING is possible. Step by step and day by day. (And now I have the theme to Step-by-step stuck in my head. Damn.) Thank you for putting it all out there and being so honest and vulnerable and willing to do it because I know you help people - you've helped me. Much love to you and the Mr. and here's to an AMAZING 2012!
