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.

ReplyDeleteI'm such a plain ice cream person and like the basic flavors (BOR-ing!), but the hubs loves the candy ice creams. As for candy bars, I like Kit-Kat (although they aren't as crispy as they used to be I've noticed), Twix,

Speaking of self control.... I wouldn't even be able to wait the few minutes required for the ice cream to soften up a bit.
ReplyDeleteDidnāt like this one. Love the chocolate peanut butter version. But I never was a candy and ice cream fan. I canāt buy these unless itās a special occasion, I have zero self control!
