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.

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.

ReplyDeleteWent to a meeting this morning and found out one of our members died this week--such a sad story. The hubs was let go from his job this week and got a small severance, but we will eventually lose our house (he won't make nearly the same money as he did, especially with the economy here), so some stress there. I managed to get all the laundry done today and a trip to Salvation Army to give donations (5 bags and a box out of the house!). So tomorrow hopefully will be a trip to the movies to see The Wedding Ringer. I could use some humor in my life right now! LOL!
