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.

It is nice having the second tree up in the bedroom and watching TV with it all lit up. Can't wait to see what everyone thinks of the upcoming pictures of everything soon. Have a great weekend everyone!
ReplyDeleteWe currently have furnace guys here installing our new one, so I'm looking forward to not feeling electrocuted when I touch metal or the dog as the new humidifier is being installed with it. Have to run to the bank, and then we need to grocery shop this afternoon (I hate doing it any time other than morning, but need to go with the flow today), then get laundry done. Tomorrow we'll take our pooch for a short swim session to see how his shoulder does. Then I need to bake some treats for gifts. It's currently sleeting outside so it's slippery and gloomy.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time driving around looking at lights! I noticed a lot of people have decorated outside this year, which has been fun to see. Enjoy basking in your decorations -- you've more earned calm and cozy nights with the sparkle of trees!!!
