MsAllegraFox Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I just checked and I believe it's been about six weeks since I last checked in (there abouts) - a fact that I am having a hard time getting over because wow it's amazing how much the body can change in six weeks (and not in the good way). Quick Backstory A Thing happened and my mental health took really took a nosedive, the anxiety and depression reared their ugly head and it was really hard to see what the point of even trying was; I lost sight of why I should care about my physical health, and how important regular exercise was to keeping myself treading water. However, I got some news Monday that meant that things are turning around, as such I decided it was time I gave a shit again. Whilst on this sabbatical I did think about popping back every now and again, but I immediately felt guilty at the thought of logging on and came up with various excuses, all of which I have now addressed: "What's the point I've probably gained a load of weight that will be almost impossible to get off?" I weighed myself last night and I am walking around at 66.4kg, pretty much the same weight I clocked in at six weeks ago (something that I still quite shocked at) "My laptop has gone, it's too hard to type a long post on a phone!" I have my laptop back and am no longer confined to trying type up posts/upload photos on a smart phone "Life at the moment is just unending monotony and there is nothing to look forward to or to strive for." Work has changed and I now have far more structure to my day than I did previously I actually have something to look forward to and to work towards So, with that all said, hello again - third time's the charm 😉 3 Quote Battle Log: Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Fox of War// Challenge 1 (Do Over) // Respawn Log: Continue [Y]/[N] “Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it.

Mudd Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 I know I'm late to this, but kudos for getting back on the wagon! It's so easy to come up with excuses, so good for you for overcoming them! Quote Link to comment
