WoundedBird Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Hello everyone! I'm so glad I've discovered NF, because turning fitness and health into a real life RPG, quest, journey, or whatever you call it, is much more motivating than the usual stuff about looking "good" in a bikini, "rocking" a crop top etc... Because honestly, I don't care! If other people's harsh judgement and criticism were a good source of motivation, I should have been the fittest person in the world by now, and guess what? I'm not. I'm not even close. A bit of information about me... I'm a 24 year old female with a bad habit of binge-eating. I usually do that to forget about my problems when I'm depressed, and I've been severely depressed for a long time. When I finally decided to get my life together, I weighted more than 95 kg (height: 164 cm). The numbers can tell how severely depressed I was, right? Now I'm about 87 kg, and the journey continues. I have a passion for martial arts, so is it safe to say I am a monk now? As for my goal... I don't know for sure. But I want to be the closest thing to a real life superhero as much as my body allows. I love superheroes and I am a huge Marvel fan. This wasn't the best day of my quest, but in the end of the day, I didn't give up (I'm planning to start a daily battle log, LOVED the idea) and didn't give into another binge-eating frenzy, so... we're good here, I guess. 2 Quote Link to comment
shaar Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Never give up!! Especially on sad days. I find on tougher days just staying the course and working hard to not give in to temptation or bad eating decisions is a huge struggle in and of itself. You can be a Marvel monk, whatever you want to be, and it will be awesome. Welcome to NF!! Quote Tell me, if you had the strength to take another step, could you do it? Level ??

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Welcome to the rebellion. You want to be a monk, you're a monk. Why not try a six week challenge? There's one starting on Monday. We recommend all first time challenge takers go to the recruit section so you can get down the mechanics of a challenge before you're off to join the Monks.

Yeah, it is harder to stuck with your plan on tough days, but if I somehow manage to stay on the course, the next day I feel so proud of myself when I look back. Welcome to the rebellion.
