Thanks for understanding, and thanks for the hug x

 

[OOC]

Ok, so I thought I could do this that I was in a good place... but the reason I didn't post yesterday was because simply the act of posting on a regular basis, together with my anxiety around this led to my ED triggering for the first time in months, I'm just not there yet. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry to wuss out, especially to Dagger and Loopus. Thankyou for being wonderful enough to give it a shot... I'm sorry again, but I'm having to run away from this right now.

Sending happy vibes and wishing everyone well

[OOC]

And now Jan 2:

 

Thank you so much for making me smile by posting Dagger!

I've got to admit that this is my first time trying to host a forum rp, I'm hoping that it'll all go well. I've taken part in a fair few and hosted in game events, but first time and all for this.

I totally get that anyone posting here other than myself could be irregular or random. I get that there may be folks that only interact once, I'm just honestly chuffed that I've got one response at all to this!  

*runs around her flat bouncing grinning like a loon*

“If you’re going to fuss all the way to Celebration I may have to sew your mouth shut”

 

A mid-aged amazon, the final member of the trio of women stood up from her seat on the grass and stepped forward, poking her finger into Sisyphus’s chest.

 

“She wanted you here to motivate her, not to bring her down with your complaints. You were a king. Be majestic not… moany”

 

Sisyphus took in a deep breath and reluctantly straightened his shoulders.

 

“Fair enough, but why now? Why do we need to start an adventure now?”

 

It was Mother with her shining eyes that answered.

 

“It is traditional. Like the mid winter feast that results from the livestock cull, that ensure enough food for the rest of winter; The passing of the equinox and the dawning of a new year gives all a new clarity and focus on that which has been just out of reach.”

 

Warrior scoffed at this.

 

“Nurdles it is.

We have to start an odyssey now because She keeps on quitting. We’d not have to if She could just...”

 

"Good day. My name is Dagger. Who can I help?"  “…. find the drive to keep going.”

 

The small gathering parted to greet the well presented newcomer, with the auburn haired athlete, still riled up responding curtly and pointing a thumb at herself

 

“Warrior”

Her finger poked towards the muscular figure of the dwarf-like Sisyphus’

 

“Sis”

She moved it towards the comely and bright faced woman

 

“Mother”

The small dimpled child pushed her way past the stern faced Warrior and went to wrap her arms around Daggers legs with joy

 

“I’m Child! We’re going to fight demons for Lil! Come with us, it’ll be magic! And there’ll be blood and guts and things! Although not mine I hope. Say you’ll come with us!”

Warrior shook her head, Mother looked full of embarrassed pride and Sis just looked confused by the whole situation.

 

“I still don’t quite get it….”

 

I think I may have just fallen in love with your puppy.

I'm going to follow you like a stray, partially to share motivation, but tbh mainly to get a chance to see more beautiful hound photos!

 

Cats!!!! Stalking the cats!!!

Oh my Peruvianchucknuggets, there's just so much here that I'm going to stalk you like a crazed Bieber fan!

 

Stories and writing and Scottish forests!

Gosh, bullet journaling, like writing a diary but lazier

 

I LOVE IT!!!!! 

 

Sending you huge amounts of good luck vibes for Wednesday, I'm sure you've got this thing!

In the end... I think I could be a bad ass. If I weren't so much like this self-deprecating human with low self-esteem

 

Does it help that because you are wanting to be a bad ass, because this is the first time I've met you, that this is the only image of you that has come to my mind so you are now indelibly written into my conscious as a bad ass?!?

 

Yup, you're already winning right!? At least one person out there in the universe (me) thinks of you that way

 

Just remember, bad ass' don't worry about failure. If you fall it's just so you can do one of those hero jumps back up again. Sending high fives your way!

Sending understanding vibes your way Xantae, this is also my third re-spawn.

Your goals are fantastic and hugely achievable, here's hoping that your motivation continues and your support grows!

I usually fizzle out halfway through because there are so many people.

 

This!

 

When I've been around before I get active on everyone's posts, then when it gets to the point that reacting and responding takes me longer than half an hour of my real life time, I fizzle and end up retreating from the forums. (Hoping not to do that this time as I'm tying other things into my motivation to keep on posting here.)

You've got this thing, one baby step at a time and you'll win this!

 

(I am curious, and you will possibly find this intrusive or rude, so feel free to ignore me I'm not meaning this in any bad or negative or demotivating way.

You post that your primary motivation is to lose weight, but that alone by itself isn't actually a motivation - WHY would you say you want to lose weight? )

 

 

 

 

Jan 1st:

Further posts from me should be an awful lot shorter!!

From yesterday. I'll be posting another today, the forum just wasn't up yet   < eager eager.

Sisyphus attempted once more to squeeze his extensive gut into the form fitting body armour.

 

Yes, this proposal sounded more attractive than rolling a stone endlessly up a mountain in Hades, anything for a change of scenery, however it was still degrading to think of himself, a mighty and cunning monarch debased to the point of taking orders from others.

He sighed.

 

“Remind me again why you can’t do this without me?”

 

Mother begrudgingly unlocked her eyes from the massive biceps of the king.

The matronly woman bestowed a warm gaze on a distracted Shirley Temple look alike and encouraged her to answer Sisyphus.

 

“Child?”

 

The curly haired girl stopped turning cartwheels and dizzily beamed at the ex-king.

 

“Because health and fitness isn’t a sprint.”

 

Sticking a finger in her ear she wiggled it about probingly.

 

“But it isn’t a marathon either… it’s a one of you. Sisyphean.”

 

She pulled out her finger and after inspection, frowned at the lack of interesting finds.

 

“Because marathons end; but this never ends and She needs you here to remind her of that.”

 

“She. Yes....Yes. Yes I know, and her ridiculous baubles are to remind her that it doesn’t get easier with age but instead gets harder so it’s best to act before time runs out”

 

He sighed deeply at his tragic degradation as the excitable girl grinned at him again.

 

“One more weight added every year!”

 

Flicking at one of the dangling weights that had been clipped all over his combat gear, the ancient figure grumbled at the women.

 

“I’m going into battle looking like a sodding Christmas tree.”

 

 

 

 

[OOC]

 

Battle plans -

 

- To write at least two hundred words, five days a week

 

- To stop worrying about food and eat ‘normally’, three meals a day, and those with snacks and drinks to be less (guesstimated) calories than I’m expended.

 

- To stick to a long term fitness plan for the first time ever. One Day At A Time, One Meal At A Time.

 

No, I’m not adding any stat goals, I’m just going to do it, because it’s for the real life me, not the cyber/virtual me. I'm fed up of respawning because of quitting, rp fun and enjoyable writing should help encourage me to stick to it, so please feel free to join in, you'd be doing me a huge favour!

 

 

 

RP (Roleplay) overview-

 

If you fancy joining in and rping in this thread, you’re much more than welcome! Forum RP newbies encouraged!

 

However if you were to do so:

- Please keep posts to one a day max.

- Aim to limit posts to 200 words max.

- Clearly label IC and OOC (In character and out of character sections)

- If you're a forum rp newbie, there's a lot of guides out there worth giving a once over.

- No god modding /controlling other characters. - Put simply, try not to play a 'god type' who can beat everyone just by winking at them etc etc, and don't predict/dictate other peoples reactions or abilities, give them a chance to react ie: NOT 'Jason lands a punch on the first Argonaught who crumples to the ground' instead 'Jason attempts to throw a punch at the first Argonaught, aiming to knock him off his feet', the first dictates to others what they would do and removes the interactive opportunity for them, the second provides them with an opportunity to respond.

- Please keep any critique of others rp posts to a minimum, and if you feel it is necessary then keep it positive.

- Be aware that whilst I will endeavour to interact, for a while it may be a lot of scene setting, please don’t be offended if I fail to respond to your character immediately. Instead, get interacting with others (if anybody else is even interested in joining in!)

- Keep it SFW (Suitable for work) this needs to stay  a fun, friendly, motivating environment!

 

 

Setting:

A green field, we need troops to defeat the enemy, and are going to be going on a little journey, there are going to be plenty of mobs arriving soon for you to go at with whatever weapon you fancy.

There is no era, historical accuracy limitations. Broadswords and witches can fight alongside Panzer tanks and ray guns.

I will be aiming to put out a little challenge each day after the 8^th January within the rp. Simple but hopefully fun. Possibly quite ridiculous.

 

Disclaimer as I'm not an expert in any of the following, Fitness, diet, roleplay, motivation... well anything much!

 

Sending huge amounts of love to everyone out there, we can dooooo it!!!!! We can achieve our goals!

 

 

Piñata time!

 

It might seem that I'm a wreck psychically, ranting so much about all of this, but it just comes out - thank you thank you thank you!

 

Actually you come across as someone with the strength to try to fight and find a way out.  

Your dad sounds like he has a lot of issues, I hope you have the strength to continue being patient with him, and hope also that you manage to not make any more of his issues, yours. 

So much zen love your way. 

And the Larkin poem:

 

 

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.” 
― Philip Larkin

 

And finally a cute fluffy bunny

Hoping that 6 is perfect inside

 

*Triggers*

 

 

Sounds like a cool gym - especially if you can time it for when the place is quiet. Mine has way too many treadmills and machines for my taste - but a nice big open floor that's free to use as long as they have no classes in session. 

 

I'm quite glad there's not a huge amounts of machines

I always wondered how much time folks had on their hands to sit on one machine for so long without moving on and swapping back.

Spent half of gym time lurking.

Oh lor' the computer steals time. 

Rewarding yourself with computer time can work. 50 minutes of electric for every 10 minutes of 'real life stuff'

Hope that you work it out 

Here's a happy little invisible zen bunny:

 

 

 

 

To sit on your shoulder and make you feel happier, to talk to and get out all those stuck emotions and to motivate you to go places. 

You've got this.

Hmmmm. I have been keeping an eye out for reptiles for you, but they all seem to be hiding right now. :|

 

You're doing fantastically!

*sends clapping and cheering squirrels to spur you on!*

 

Grats on the refocus rather than giving up and calling it dead

Bwuahahaha for some reason I  found tiny shriveled former grapes far too funny. 

Hope the dinner went ok

That's just a fabulous week!

Sending vibes that the food logging becomes second nature

Sorry that the other day wasn't great, but I'm so impressed at your commitment to writing. Can't wait

You're prodding buttock!

 

 

Just stunningly beautiful!

And that's only an hour away?!?

Can we all come across and camp out?

*Otter parade because of your success!*
