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...
They need to enforce the no talking thing. I saw the last Star Wars movie in the theater and of course sat right next to someone who decided it was okay to talk even up to the opening credits. I was about to shut them up myself but the entire theater practically all made a collective shhhh sound and they got the hint real quick.
ReplyDeleteI was at one theater in a different town that had reclining seats that were cushy like actual recliners. And the best part was that you could have your feet up, but the aisles were so wide that anyone could walk past you to get to their seat with no problem. That was the most comfortable I've ever been in a theater, and I wish the ones by me would do that kind of seating.
ReplyDeleteThe movie theatre I usually go to is about an hour away. They really don't need to fix anything. I can buy tickets online ahead of time, and they do reserved seating so I can pick the seats I want and not have to get there early and hope for the best. They have these great recliner seats that are super comfy. They also block off the seats immediately around you when you purchase tickets. I don't know if that will be permanent or if it's a covid thing, but it's nice. With people separated that way I don't really hear anyone talking or snacking if they are. I do have two theaters that are closer, but neither of them are as nice.
