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...
I'm going to say I had a fairly funny thing last night. We were watching the new version of Carrie on TV and you referred to the old one and ***SPOILER ALERT*** you said " I didn't know the bucket killed the guy in the original movie" and I said "It didn't, it bounced off the guy's afro" (the original has the guy from Greatest American Hero and has the curliest hair ever).
ReplyDeleteYour silent high five was the funniest response to one of my lame jokes ever!
That was pretty friggin hilarious. William Katt did have quite the set of bodacious locks that side of the 70s!!
DeleteA gal at bingo said she had been cleaning her neighbor's house for 16 years. My Mom said and you're still not done??!!😂😋
ReplyDeleteROFL!! That is some quick wit right there!
DeleteMy husband yesterday: "Well, you don't have to worry about any self-esteem issues at my job. Just look around and you start realizing you're not so bad. I told my manager the reason I have to take off for jury duty is because I'm the only one here without a criminal record."
