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...
Happy 4th of July to you as well!! Enjoy the beautiful day! I am working, the hubs is not. We had a power outage this morning so we were dealing with that. Hopefully that's over now and he can enjoy the day with the pups. No grilling...we haven't actually grilled once this year yet.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday celebration!
Happy 4th everyone! Guess our plan to chill today was not in the cards but at least we got some serious headway into projects!
ReplyDeleteToday was not a relaxing day. It's after midnight and I'm taking a break from stuff I'm still trying to get done before we leave for a week tomorrow. Mount Rushmore (and other SD sites) this time. Gotta love a road trip on zero sleep. My own *** fault, but now I'm paying for it. I hope your 4th was uneventful - we konw we are truly middle age when we hope for "boring" holidays.
