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.

Congratulations on 27 years!!! I know you will be doing some really fun stuff. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGreat articles! We will be going to see my uncle and bringing gifts from family members for him to open. Then we grocery shop and get cracking on the Christmas menu items that I need to buy and prep ahead. And we might take the pooches to the big Christmas light parade in the park that you drive thru. Weather should cooperate so that's the plan. Have a super duper weekend and have fun frolicking!
