StarRuby Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 You know how the newbie section has an entire section on planning and making accommodations in the event that you get sick/get hurt/can't train like you used to? As it turns out, that is actually a thing you have to look out for. I didn't think ahead. I didn't anticipate my mood tanking and my medications spiralling out of control. I didn't anticipate writeup after writeup at work and going on FMLA. I didn't anticipate a lot of things but eventually I ended up at the end of the tunnel- ten pounds heavier than when I started and feeling a tad like I got kicked in the shin and someone took my lunch money. I looked at Nered Fitness. I looked at the articles being sent diligently in the newsletter week after week fearfully, thinking that my fellow nerds would reject me. would shame me for having fallen so far after I said things were going to be okay- ... and then I remembered there was a reboot thread. I remembered that this is a positive community. I remembered, most importantly, that the people here have also fallen off the wagon. They've also hit a ledge on the way to the bottom. I haven't bottomed out; I've seen that place and it isn't pretty. I went to the hospital earlier this year, and it was a terrifying and sobering experience. It helped me, though. it helped me stand back up, and the rocks and stumbling places and the setbacks made me remember that I can fight. It reminded me that I do want to be healthy, and now that my feet are back on the ground I remembered why I went to Nerd Fitness in the first place. I made it back, ready to hitch a ride on the next wagon. 2 Quote -S t a r .

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Welcome back, glad to have you with us again. The road through adversity is often not fun, and the most insidious thing about that road is the illusion we have to walk it alone. We've all slipped and fell, and we all had to get up again, no one judges you. We're just glad you're back. 1 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment

Eskcanta Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Glad you're back. Come back again and again, get what you need (ask for it too if you don't see it sitting around waiting to be picked up). You once offered your axe.... seek the companionship that motivates you and keep on keeping on.

TheGreyJedi-Ranger Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I definitely know that feeling. I kept messing up and kind of hid from this community. I couldn't come back until I'd gotten myself mentally ready for starting my fitness journey once again. But I'm here and so are you. That's the most important thing: We're here and want to do as much as we can. You've got this, and remember that you're not alone! 1 Quote Grey Jedi Ranger Jedi Becomes Her Own Hero Jedi Battle Log “Keep Calm, Carry On, and Don't Freeze Up!” - Oboro Shirakumo (Loud Cloud), My Hero Academia Vigilantes Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12. #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #43, #44, #45, #46, #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #55, #56, #57, #58, #59, #60, #61, #62, #63 Link to comment
