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 New Year!
ReplyDeleteGigglesnort. "no bad weather, just the wrong clothes". I'm so going to remind of you that this summer when it's furnace of hell hot and society dictates that we can only strip off so much clothing.
ReplyDeleteI remember ringing in 2000 very clearly and have no idea how it got to be 20 years later. That was a good NYE, one of my best in memory. I'm still kind of wondering what happened to the 80s though.
I will be in the house naked with saran wrap over my open arse on the couch when hell hot with the A/C set on 65 as usual so remind away! ROFL
