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...
Your gifts were not lame! I enjoyed them and had a great day with you. I know we don't always celebrate it but I am glad we did this year. It was fun!
ReplyDeleteI love the Curly Wurly!! =o) I took myself to the pool and then the dogs for a long drive and overall had a very relaxing day. The hubs and I did not celebrate it this year, but did go to a hockey game on Sunday afternoon (first one in two years) and I said that would be our celebration. I made my favorite homemade soup for dinner and he made himself some steaks on the grill, so it worked out well.
