Older friend of mine who I look up to as a mother. Goes “Adam you look happy and relaxed again lately. You’ve been fucking around again haven’t you?”

Waits for ground to open.

“oh would you look at that. Your face is as red as your shirt”.

I walk off mouthing bitch and searching for another beer.

TMI

Not sure why, but I’ve been such a freaking man whore lately. Haven’t been like this in years. Probably cause of all the exercise etc etc.

Yeah, you’re going to want to read the whole thing.

HAHAHA “I can’t begin to describe how utterly insane you are”.

HAHAHA THE MEME THEY MADE NEAR THE END WITH THE PICTURE, “A week gone by, Must confess love”

omg.

WTF?! This had me in cracking up on the bus. People were looking at me like I was insane. Talk about obsession in it’s purest form, and insanity as well.

Oh Sydney you fickle bitch!

After teasing us all Summer so far with Rain, and more rain, and mornings cold enough to be winter. You suddenly lift your skirts, and let summer arrive.

What a glorious day you are. And we are getting 5 more days of this, with no sign of rain! A dry, hot weekend?!

OH MY GOD HOW MUCH HAVE I MISSED YOU. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US AGAIN.

As you can guess this weekend will be me, outside, enjoying the weather. Even if no one else wants to spend any time with me. I’ll be out there anyways!

Yes, posting for Lani :P

Conversation I had at work just then...

Colleague coming up to me to tell me I’m wrong about something I told him yesterday, and he can prove it.

Colleague : Oh you were right

My response.

“please just argue with me for the hell of it. rather than rely on my 14 years of experience, and tell me how you think im wrong, only to find out that you are a retard, and wasted 3 hours fapping around, when I already told you the correct solution”.

I would date you if I was local to you. You seem focused, and committed to what you want out of life. I think it's great, and very addictive. That more attractive to me than what anyone looks like on the outside.

Thank you :) *blush*

Why be anon? If you send me non anon I’ll answer privately.

You seem to be very focused at the moment. I'm proud of you. Don't let anyone get in the way of what you are trying to achieve.

Tue, 21 Feb 2012 18:11:35 +1100

I won’t be. And thank you :) Glad people are noticing. Sometimes I feel like I’m all on my own.

You're an adorable bear, Why wouldn't you want to stay one?

A few reasons actually.

Type 2 Diabetic. Although my sugar control is excellent, removing weight will make this task even easier. So it’s very important to me.
The reasons for being overweight in the first place are evaporating (ie. it was protection from life, it was my way of creating a barrier between people)
There are so many things I want to experience, and places to visit around the world. And a lot of them require some level of fitness. Some of them extremely so.
There are others relating to body image, and the way I feel. Plus the general issue of being tired all the time.
I don’t wanna be the big sweaty fat guy any more. I like who he is, I’m just not sure he is necessary.

Week 3 of 52

SW : 174kg (Sep 2010)
CW : 145.5kg
GW : 70kg

A bit up and down week. I’ve been screwed around by people, and I’ve decided to refocus again on myself. I find I start feeling needy in these circumstances, and not really strong enough to fight my inner child. It’s still healing, and putting it in situations that it’s not really comfortable is not good for my progress.

Started at Photography course last week. The teacher is awesome, and I’m looking forward to see how it goes. I need to take an ornament / light source / backdrop for class tomorrow night, and I can’t believe how stressed I am about it. It’s just nerves cause it’s something new. The other thing is I don’t really have that many ornaments. I don’t tend to stuff my house with those kind of things. So I’ll let you know what I come up with tonight.

Fitness wise it was a good week. More KB workouts, and more walking. I still have foot pain, and I’m going to be carrying out a little experiment over the next few weeks to spur some more weight loss on, to remove some of the pain. Yes it’s a little bit of rapid loss, but I’m so far overweight, a bit of this isn’t going to hurt.

Dropped 1/2 a kg this week. As long as it’s going down I’m not going to stress about it.

Mental health. I keep learning more and more about myself as times go on. I’m more self aware, and start seeing things I’ve never noticed before. The longer term goals though is to regain my confidence at life. Nothing scares me more than humiliating myself publicly. And I need to get over that. It’s part of the introvert in me, but I need to be less frightened to do new things.

Dont date. Just be active in the community and meet people. Be social, ask to spend time with people. :)

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing. My biggest annoyance is, there is a sub-culture in the gay community that loves bigger / bearded guys ie. bears. I have no problem with this in general, but I tend to attract guys who like that look.

They also don’t want me to change. Which I’m not going to do for anyone. My fitness/health etc is more important than that. So situations like this will continue to occur.

Like I said I dipped my toe back in the water, and for now I’m done with it. Just going to keep concentrating on what I want to do, and see what comes along in time.
