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...

Happy Christmas Eve

One of my favorites and a good reminder...

"It's Christmas Eve.   It's the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer.  We smile a little easier.  We share a little more.   For a couple of hours out of the whole year we are the people we always hoped we would be.

It's a miracle...it's really sort of a miracle because it happens every Christmas Eve.   And if you waste that miracle, you're gonna burn for it. I know what I'm talking about.   You have to do something. You have to take a chance and you do have to get involved.    There are people that are having trouble making their miracle happen.  There are people that don't have enough to eat and there people that are cold.   You can go out and say hello to these people.   You can take an old blanket out of the closet and say "here" or make 'em a sandwich and say, "oh by the way...here."

l get it now.  And if you give, then it can happen, then the miracle can happen to you.  Not just the poor and hungry, it's everybody whose gotta have this miracle!   It can happen tonight for you all!  If you believe in this pure thing,  the miracle will happen and you'll want it to happen again tomorrow!   You won't be one of those bastards that says  "Christmas is once a year and it's a fraud." 

It's not!

It can happen every day! You've just got to want that feeling!   And if you like it and you want it, you'll get greedy for it!  You'll want it every day of your life!  It can happen to you!   I believe in it now.   I believe it's gonna happen to me now. I'm ready for it!  It's great.   It's a good feeling.   It's really better than I've felt in a long time.

I'm ready.

Have a Merry Christmas everybody."
