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...
It is nice to see pictures from our weekend on these because it reinforces the memories of the things we notice on our walks and I like that. As always the weekend goes by so fast but always nice to go back to some of these and see what we got into!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic weekend! Mine was very busy appointments, cleaning, shopping, work, etc. Busy but accomplished, so I can't complain. The chili I made yesterday in my new crock pot was outstanding! Didn't miss the beans at all because the celery, oddly enough, had a similar texture and was delicious. Now I have lunches for the whole week! LOL Looking forward to the fall weather we're going to have this week. It sure came on fast from where we work a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteFriday was my one Friday a month I have to go to school, so there was 1/3 of my weekend. Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch and I got some green chiles too (yum). Sunday was just a blah day, I could tell I was coming down with a cold even though I wasn't really sick yet.
