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's time to ride out. I'm thinkin impromptu road trip to Shenandoah!
ReplyDeleteI might be getting another cat this weekend. I say might only because I'm not sure any of the cats at the shelter will be a good match to my current cat, Eugene, who lost his dear cat mate (Olive) about a month ago. Rest in peace, Ollie girl. I hope the new cat is half as wonderful as you were.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to be going to opening night for hockey. I have my cowbell all ready to go. =o) I'm such a homer, but after the week I've had, it'll feel good to be able to yell along with everybody else and vent some steam. Hope you have a great birthday road trip!!!
