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...
Great, now that song is in my head, you turkey!
ReplyDeleteHA!
DeleteI got the backing for my my son's t-shirt quilt done. How's THAT for random???
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I desperately want a t-shirt quilt out of our old shirts from this one store so I swoon a little when someone can do that kind of thing.
DeleteWe went to a downtown Blues bar and heard a blues pianist and her sidekick harmonica player.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!
DeleteI had creme brulee for the first time
ReplyDeleteDid you like it?
DeleteRandom - it was my birthday. i tried to get a passport and didn't have the right papers. That's two.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday! Sorry the passport didn't work out on the first try. I hope it means you get to go somewhere awesome...you deserve it.
DeleteWe had nearly 12 inches of snow yesterday, another six so far today, with more on the way tonight and tomorrow. Oh and we have a blizzard warning, for the third day in a row. Ready to pull my hair out, or book a flight somewhere, anywhere.
ReplyDeleteOh man! Stay warm and take comfort, spring isn't TOO far away, hopefully warmer weather finds you sooner than later!
DeleteI painted my nails this adorable shade of robin's egg blue. Hoping it would convince the 71 degree to stay longer. It didn't. It is 46 today. lol
ReplyDeleteOoh that sounds pretty! Yeah, our weather didn't last either.
DeleteI had my sandwich in my lunch bag and forgot to put it in the fridge when I got to work at 6am. I realized it when I started to sniff the air about seven hours later and it was a wee bit on the unpleasant side. Needless to say all I hate for lunch was grapes.
ReplyDeleteRut roh! Stinky sammie = no bueno.
