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...

33 Years of I Love You's

Welp, 33 years ago today, the Mr said I love you for the first time...three days after our first date!

Obviously I said I love you too.  

We knew each other for 2 months but were slow to get to dating and it was worth the wait.  I have no idea where that amount of time could've possibly gone since we barely feel 33 much less have the ability to have been together for that long.  People say it goes by fast and they're right.  One day you're 17 and you blink and you've been together in what could technically be two generations if they got started at 16/17 years old, which my mom did with me.  I hope to be together at least another two generations.

It might seem juvenile to still celebrate our dating anniversary but we always give each other a card.  I remember the days we would celebrate monthly anniversaries the first year and I still have all of the cards we gave each other.  While everyone is getting ready to celebrate the holidays, we start our holiday celebrations by celebrating love.

Happy dating anniversary hon.  Here's to many more!
