Kaeilia Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ohai! My name is Haze and I'm from a tiny island most people can't find on a map... in Canada.. where it's cold... But I'm not currently living there, and am in China where I'm currently making a living teaching English! Not what I expected to be doing with a bachelor of psychology, but meh. I'm a new teacher so still learning the ropes but that's one thing I really love to do: Learn! I've never been a very fit or active person. I was a chubby kid, bullied for being chubby even though there were other kids in my grade bigger than me. I did become quite small at one point but my self-esteem and self-worth couldn't have been lower so it really wasn't any healthier. Bad friend breakups, a string of gay boyfriends, struggles with emotional issues and a love of all hobbies sedentary has physically left me a person I really don't want to be. I've gained more than 100 lbs. since high school and even though I like who I am much more now, as a person, I really don't like looking in the mirror a whole lot. Don't get me wrong, I love me! But I know that there's a better me I can be. That was a mouthful... Point is, I'm ready to level up my life! So, I have no idea how I've never heard of this website before! My awesome friend, Gurdris the Imbiber, showed it to me and I know that this is something that can really help me! Thing is, I enjoy exercise, I really do. I get a rush and I don't mind sweating (unlike the rest of my family). But I never keep myself accountable for my diet or exercise for more than a couple weeks at a time, but I'm really ready for a change. And my self-competitive streak and obsession with gaining experience in DnD (and now life) is going to finally really work to my advantage! BWAHAHAHAHA! IT WILL ALL BE MINE! ((How has no one made a gif of this adorable scene yet? Come on!)) I've joined a gym and intend to consistently be more active. My family is supportive, but not people to join in and they are currently half a world away... But I have a couple great friends here in the city I'm living in who are on their own journeys and can help keep me accountable! I'm also planning on tracking my food but will likely use pictures because there are loads of times I don't even know what I'm eating and as I can't speak more than 50 words in chinese, I have little chance of finding out! XD Suggestions for great, fun workouts would be very welcome! I love to dance and swim as my favourite physical activities but don't currently have access to a pool. This mermaid is grounded T_T And I am not a picky eater, I boast that I'll try just about anything once! I'm not going to leave that as an open challenge to eat ANYTHING, but I welcome healthy recipes too. Share your favourite with me! Have you made it this far? Wow. I'm impressed! Here's some stuff I like in general! - Languages (I speak english, french, and am learning chinese) - Drawing - Reading - Writing (generally fantasy) - Lord of the Rings (I've been listening to/reading them since I was about 4) - Superheroes - Dungeons and Dragons - World-building - Sleep (oh, sweet sleep... zzzz..... zzzzzzzzzz...... wait, did I post that topic yet?!) - Making Friends - Dancing till I drop! (no really, LET'S DO THIS!) I'm looking for more friends out there on similar journeys or just someone who wants to say hi! I'm a great listener and am always willing to help share any of the random information I've picked up ^^ Anyone out there in the digital land? 3 Quote Name: Haze Race: Mermaid Alignment: Neutral Good Class: Rebel Level: One "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." - Gordon A.

WhiteGhost Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Oh yay! Another fellow China resident! What city are you in? I'm in Beijing. If you are ever wondering what you just ate, upload a picture and I can probably tell you. 1 Quote HUNTER OF ALL THINGS SHINY Intro Thread Challenge Log Bodyweight Exercise Library Recipe Book Shuffle Club Level 2 Ninja Strength: 13 Intelligence: 14 Wisdom: 6 Dexterity:14 Constitution: 12 Charisma: 11 Link to comment

And good to know, I think pictures will be a great way to go! XD All about keeping me accountable T_T Someday I hope to be able to recognize the food for myself but I definitely haven't been here long enough for that yet... Yet... >.> <.< >.> 2 Quote Name: Haze Race: Mermaid Alignment: Neutral Good Class: Rebel Level: One "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." - Gordon A. Eadie Link to comment
