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...
Everybody have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Houdini dog - how on earth did he get through all those doors?? And he just sauntered away..... Great reads as usual. Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteAhh, Jiffy. The white frosted cake always reminds me of the Easy Bake Oven cakes with the lightbulb. =o) I saw the video on our local news of the escapee dog -- a hoot! Great articles. I smiled about the pickles after sweating -- I'm all in! That is my go-to snack (and is it sick to say that I like pickle juice and pepperoncini juice? Yes, yes it is you sicko. lol)
ReplyDeleteWe cut the grass today after work so the weekend would be more free -- yippee!! I'm sore as heck and don't have it in me to have dinner, so I will be going to sleep soon. I'm leading a meeting tomorrow morning, then we're heading the burbs to get some things done. I am soooooo happy to have that lawn done, so that will put me in a good mood every time I go outside.
Have a super weekend and hopefully a much more relaxing one than last weekend! xoxoxo
