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...

It was a loooong week but as evidenced by your pics above we ate extremely wonderful meals. But then again I say that all the time, because it's true!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out what my big surprise is!
Yummy!!! Can I borrow you for a few days;)
ReplyDeleteCoupons rule!!!! You deserve it. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh man that looks good. I'm proud of you for getting so much fish throughout the week. That's one area where I fail, even though I love fish.
ReplyDeleteAw, why didn't I get a coupon in the mail?! Sigh. I am probably headed to Sur La Table tomorrow too. We should compare hauls! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice coupon! I look for those all the time online. I never buy anything online anymore without searching one out. I used to get Sur La Table's catalog and bought a few copper items back in the day.
ReplyDeleteWell, my weekend plans just changed as I got a short email from my mother stating that Easter Brunch was cancelled at my uncle's assisted living place due to a flu bug going around. So now I need to rearrange some things, so I honestly don't know what my weekend plans are! =o)
No plans for the weekend. I just got home from a visit with my folks. The little guy is staying for some extra grandparent time and they will run him home on Sunday. All I know for my weekend is it will involve no children's tv, and sleeping in both days which is a rare luxury.
