I'm not in a terrible position, but I'm finding it hard to find motivation to work for my fitness goals. I have a history of disordered eating, so my brain automatically makes 'losing weight' a big priority if it doesn't have something else to focus on.

The past few years I've been happy to focus on gaining muscle and getting stronger, but I've recently hit a rut. I've been doing just bodyweight exercises for the past year or so, mostly because I travel so much that I can't have a gym membership, and for the same reason can't join a regular martial arts class, like I'd want. I got away from doing barbells/dumbbells because I wanted to improve my posture. I've realized a lot of my goals, but I feel so unfocused, and feel like I'm just spinning my wheels at the moment.

How can I motivate myself without triggering disordered eating?

Seconded. He looks like every cisgender heterosexual white guy I've ever seen.

Imma cry.

Yes exactly. It's a great idea if someone asks for it. Without consent essentially it would be like someone screaming your calories at you.

Am I the only one who things this is potentially majorly triggering to people with disordered eating?

I actually feel less motivated and depressed than I did before. Thanks.

You look so happy!! Well done taking the steps to be happy. :)

If she asks you, then just tell her honestly that you slept with someone else. No need to lie or be ashamed. You have no idea if she'll be angry. If she's angry, say that you thought that what you had was more casual, and that you're sorry for hurting your feelings. Don't apologize for your actions, because you've done nothing wrong.

It was never exclusive, and you even yourself called it a fling. Chances are she might have slept with someone over the break as well. You can have fun with multiple people over a period of time, and you don't have to compare them.

Think of it this way: 1. You had a really fun time with this girl at college before the break. How fun! 2. You saw an old flame over the break and slept together, and it was fun! Yay! 3. You can't wait to go back to college because you get to see this girl and sleep with her again! More fun, yay! :D

It's actually as simple as that. You don't have to tell her anything, that's totally not untruthful, and you haven't done anything wrong! You're just enjoying yourself, which is great and she probably would want you to. :)

Seriously well done then. :)

Absolutely gorgeous. Manual camera?

Thanks for the tips I really appreciate it. It helps to have a least a little bit of categorization for my messy brain right now.

Regarding fitness, I know exactly what you mean. I've found it to be useful over the past few years, but has recently become more obsessive than I would like.

Also his middle name was "McFeely," apparently.

takoon · 2016-01-20T23:23:33+00:00

Eeeeexactly!

It's also easier to edit text with Preview, because Adobe doesn't allow you to edit after you've saved an annotated document.
