At what point do you draw the line about Sparkpoints. I have been a member of this site for 2 1/2 years and this site is so awesome. But I have to wonder all, those days I logged in, and crashed my lifestyle, didn't workout, didn't actually "read" the articles, do I deserve those points. For example, summer caught up to me and I put on some weight. I have been trying hard to get it off, and it is working that direction. I almost feel cheated to myself, on those days I logged in and did NOTHING to aid my loss. But after doing the weight loss Sparkpeople plan, it is almost easy to get back on track. I know what to do, how to do it, but getting started is the kicker. But then I have to weigh the list...

Sparkpoints I actually earned vs. Sparkpoints I didn't.

My sparkpoints I have earned greatly outnumber those I did just got to get by. I am coming on my 40,000 point trophy. I may have fallen off the wagon more times than I can count, eaten too many cookies (or in my case cookie dough), spun the SP wheel with nothing more than knowing I logged in for the day, but My knowledge I have gained from this site is astounding! I know if I fall off again, all it takes is some will power to get back on, and every day is a new day!

I DESERVE MY 40,000 POINT TROPHY! I did it, I have fallen off, but I get right back on! I deserve my points. They are more worth my knowledge of nutrition, fitness and friendship than anything.

Here is to another 40,000!
