You shouldn't lob easy ones like this for these piranhas to run with... I include myself in their numbers! I'll leave the indirect exaggerations about difficulty finding shirts that fit to someone else and congratulate you on your physical transformation! :2thumbsup:
I like that life's difficulties haven't soured me, that they've actually enriched my life by teaching me to truly appreciate the small, good things which abound.
no exaggeration dude. this was after a night at the bar. after working out, my arms are significantly bigger. as wide as my face, about.
Great job with getting into shape. One of the things I've learned to love about myself is that at 47 I am in about as good a physical shape as I've been at any point in my life. I'm NOT going for huge muscles though... just maintaining a lean and mobile physique... as I was designed to do. Beyond that I love that I can still learn new things- and that I'm open to being taught by folks from many different walks of life and from many different age groups... and that I can look upon the most negative things I've put myself through as learning experiences that have made me better for having gone through them.
thanks man. i need to start doing stuff to be more mobile though. i'm fast n strong, but not nearly as quick and well off cardiovascularly as i'd like to be
Taking pictures of yourself flexing in front of the mirror is the start of a very long and sad path. You'd be better off showing your tits.
Is it sad that I've been sitting in front of this thread for 5 minutes trying to figure out what to answer?
Same here! I tend to be fairly good at remaining stoic in situations where other people are acting out or when in a bad situation.
I agree completely! I've lost about 45 pounds in the past two years and it changed me completely. Although, I say changed....but I believe I found a part of myself that's always been there, I just was too self conscious to allow myself to be that or find myself. For example. My wardrobe.... I'm much more...myself. If I feel like wearing a ribbon tied around my head, a plaid skirt, and a stripped tanktop with leggings and kneehigh socks over top, I will. I would have NEVER done that before. That's more of a literal example...but you get my drift.
Qualities don't matter as long as it's you. You as a being is much more beautiful than what skills you have or how smart or funny or good looking you are. But! Don't get loving yourself mixed up with pride. All living things are equal and there is always room for us as beings to improve. :sunny:
