Remember When??

pghsteelerfan

Aaahhhhh yes...remember when you came across this exciting new website with hungry discovery of becoming the new " THIN " you??? Remember when you gazed at the posts in awe, thinking...WOW these people know exactly what I'm thinking?...and right then and there, you decided..this is for me. I've got to join and begin my own journey towards weightloss and good healthy living....and yea.....remember when you had so many friends collected you just knew you would be successful. Why wouldnt you be, you had over hundreds of friends cheering you on.
Then ...BAM......one by one, the friends stopped logging...one by one some got married....and the strength you drew in by numbers was dwindling,,,,then slowly you began to stumble...tripping over one excuse after another....before you knew it...you too became MIA....do you remember when you couldnt wait to log your next meal...couldnt wait to run home and log that fantastic burn from the energetic workout you just exploded with? Do you remember when you laughed, cried, and hugged so many with posts of encouragements? ..

Yep...I remember when......and I would love to get that sense of power, strength ...and commitment flowing once again...I am fully aware I am the only one responsible for my control, my success, my choices!! So dont go hating on me now.....but active support from others always empowered me to beat the demons who try on a daily basis to drag me to the darkness. The depression lives on....at times stronger than i want to admit...however, when reaching out to others and experiencing their trials and tribulations, it helps put into perspective some of my own faults and gives me wisdom to move forward......

Why are some successful and others just stumble? We all have to go at our own pace, not all of us can just run towards the goal line. Some of us hop , skip and jump...then stumble....So dont give up on your friends on your list......Help those stumbling, always reach out...give support and it comes back ten fold....YEAAAAA.... I remember when it was all new... and hope flowed...can you capture that feeling again? SURE!!! Why Not!!!! I'm always looking for someone to stand in my corner....and I love to cheer in yours!:happy:

Well said!

I always clean out my list and delete inactive members but always feel so hypocritical because I end up going MIA after a while myself.

This is my longest stretch and I think I'm now in it for the long haul so looking for some active friends, add me!

Totally agree! Feel fee to add me, I log daily and workout 5-6 days per week....and try to cheer all of my friends on!

I'm with the cleaning out the inactive and keeping the friends that are actually taking the journey with me!
