Howdy! It's been a long while since I've posted but I assure you I'm still lurking around. Something goes on in the back of my head, and I needed to confess it. Once you become "public" here on 3FC, I realized that you become more accountable. Especially once you hit maintenance. That being said, the motivation and slight self-given pressure I put on myself, I am approaching 3 years of maintenance coming up in December. It's still not easy, BUT, it's much easier than being over weight.
That being said, here's my pre-gift to myself to celebrate 3 years of maintenance. I read somewhere once that being brave isn't about just going out there facing something and being a lil bad a$$. But rather it's about being scared to death of it, yet you still go towards it anway despite all your fears. My fear, if you read my Goal Story which is here : http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/goal...lbs-135-a.html is that stupid elephant! Ok Ok Ok, I know I may be petty, but my goodness that has been on my mind since the day I started my journey. So this year, for the first time since 2008 when I rode that elephant, I'm going back to that Renaissance Festival, paying the $5, and getting on that beast of a beast just so I can get a new picture. I'm hoping it will give me some kind of closure of this insecurity that has been stewing deep within.
So wish me luck. I'm going one week from Saturday. I'm ready. It's time. I will post a picture once I get it.
I echo Saef's statement - doing something you're scared of, yet still doing it, is really brave. Makes me think about the things I'm too chicken to do, so I haven't attempted them. Well done.
