This Trucker Fights Back

Thx peeps.

Just a place I end up in every now and again - funkytown.

I just don't want to go to school. I've known it all along. I don't know what else to say about it. We've been through this before on here.

I feel just like the stressball being squeezed instead of being the one doing the squeezing. I have no fucking clue what to do next. That's the thing, I don't really have to do anything and that's just as annoying as having something to do.

I know you see funkytown as a bad thing... but now I have that Funkytown song stuck in my head. And, once a song gets in there, it's pretty much stuck all day. So, what I want to know is... can you take me to Funkytown? ;-) Chin up, Trucker.... things will get better!!
 
This sounds like a terribly hard time for you. I wish I knew of some instant way to make your position easier.

I'm just thinking that you have an amazing strength of spirit and I'm sure that is what will carry you through to a better place - whether that's on mainstreet - or somewhere else that better meets your needs.

*BIG HUGS*
 
School is great. There's no such thing as too much education or too many skills. So if you want to go to school, I think absolutely go. But if you really don't want to, you're most likely going to find yourself stressed out and unsatisfied. As Dariqueen said, if you don't want it, it won't make you happy.
 
Hey Trucker, just checking up on you after seeing those remarkable before and afters. I was reading the first page of your diary, oh so long ago now. What daily cals do you take now? At the time you were doing around 800 cals a day. Did you end up increasing that to get where you are or what? Just curious about how that ended up working out. I'm sure the answer lies in your diary but that would be a lot of reading! Have a good one :).
 
I wish your brother the best of self discipline and self worth to make a change and face his fears.

I wish you the same, and hope life smooths out for you--life is tough for a bunch of us this summer, I have to say. We'll get through it, be stronger for it, and learn something too! Sounds like fun.
Love, Valerie

Yes, I did increase my calories. The misinformation of all that was my catabolics were never added in (and still aren't even today). I presently consume 1700 to 2200 a day. My sliding scale is based on exercise be it heavy or light and if l'm going out for liquid calories later which has decreased a lot lately.

For people of my size (then) I felt it was important to reduce the food habit as I knew I couldn't sustain long exercise early into this adventure. As the exercise increased so did the cals. I still put effort into both areas everyday. I don't ace everyday but I do try to get it right long-term. My fast food is still a no-no. It's important I keep that mastered.

School, for my selfish reasons, just doesn't appeal to me being a place to be. I think my attention span is not reliable and I worked hard to get back into a career that I want(ed) to rejoin. I need to stay determined and I'll kick those doors open eventually. I'll spare you the additional rant about school, it's so meh...

Yes, my brother, I just shrug. Some days I have to play the Atlanta Rhythm Section song "I"m Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight" in my head.

And you're right, we'll (I'll) get through it no matter if others decide to create their own pain.

Always a thank you from me, Kim. I'd trade all the admiration for just one person to jump up tonight and make it their night to say 'I've had enough of being fat and I'm not giving up until this mission is accomplished'. 'If Randy can do it, so can I'.

Then I'll know my time here was well spent. Tis' true, I have heart but I lack the dynamics of quality support that you possess. Maybe it's just a combination of teamwork that really helps the most. I hope so.
 
Teamwork helps the most for me, whether it's in town or on the internet. Just knowing someone is always out there for me to talk to, vent on, encourage, get information from, etc. I need it. I just wish some of you were available in person..:)
 
I agree with the teamwork thoughts. I hadn't thought of this place as a team before but it does work a lot like that. I reckon that because there are so many of us, vastly different types of contributions can still each be very valuable.

What a wonderful thing to say! Well, be it known that you certainly are an inspiration. Your time here is definitely well spent. :)
 
Good morning peeps and a happy holiday weekend to everyone.

I'm skipping out of town for 3 days - and much needed, some would say well-deserved perhaps. I will be meeting some online friends at some races for the next 3 nights spanning trips into West 'by God' Virginia, Ohio and New York.

The most rewarding part is I have to run out and buy some new pants today as it doesn't look like it's going to be 'shorts' weather into the nights. I'm pretty damn happy about picking up size 38's off the rack with maximum confidence.

I'm going on the trip to have fun, not 'diet' - it is what it is. I've sacrificed a-many holidays so far and this one will still have to have 'control' administered to it but ffs, I'm gonna enjoy some stuff any 'ol way.

I maxed out my rep to as many as I could and will re-rep next week when the rep Gods allow me to :p

Peace and enjoy the holiday !!

Totally up there as one of the best changes!!
