  You're also basically a God to us newer folk  

Haha, Weissreich didn't even disappear that long ago. He was part of the Overhusen when I served my first term in the Underhusen. Although I suspect it must be like Charax or Insenjar suddenly coming back, as I've never met them, but have heard such great things of them.

Welcome back sir

I don't want to go to school tomorrow, I'm stressed, I'm getting sick, I'm tired all the time.

Hope you get well soon

Welcome back, Weissreich!

Go for it, man. You'll feel better -- physically and mentally -- after you've gotten down to a stable, healthy weight. I've been there; I went from 255 to 190 over a year. If I can do it, you can too.

Don't think of the workouts as something to do. Just make it part of your routine; it's lifestyle changes, not a chore. Adjust what you eat, look into something like a fitbit or use a food journal (include liquid) and try to keep a positive outlook. It'll fluctuate up *and* down throughout the day by a couple pounds (poop is heavy man), so keep your weigh ins to once a week or so for a stable benchmark.

Thanks for the support man. After a month and a half I'm already starting to see some results...it doesn't look like my belly is about to explode out of my winter coat for one.

For me at least, as I started approaching 300 pounds I became extremely lethargic...everything becomes something that you have to do, even thinking. I've always been big, but I've always loved to just think and imagine and plan things, so that was a big change that I didn't like at all...I wasted a lot of hours watching Youtube in that state. Fortunately I'm out of that state, but it's going to take a while to change my mindset. I've just been lazy for so long...but for now I'm just taking it one day at a time.

I think it's time to admit I need help.

People of Wintreath, I need a mentor for NS, and this region.

This took a lot for me to say, since pride and honour are important.  I need a mentor.

I hope this doesn't show I am weak

I understand that it took a lot for you to say, but it's hard to find the right mentor for something so personal. Have you considered approaching some people you would trust in private and asking for their advice in general?

I don't know who trusts me

Okay literally my internet is really bad sometimes and when it gets extra crappy I channel enough anger to bring about the destruction of mankind and everything else in the world except for like bunnies or something

I don't know who trusts me

Who do you trust?

Nope, the bunnies will diiiiieeee in the destruction. The only solution is non-destruction.

So! Today I started the second course of the Civil War series I started taking last fall...the last course focused on the period of 1851-1860, while this course covers the actual war. It's fun to be studying something that's always been one of my favourite periods in history, but on the other hand it's something else to juggle. If only they'd find a way to make it so people could go with an hour or two less sleep each day with no ill effects...

Ahh yes the Civil War... a time that makes me proud to be Minnesotan. We were involved, you know. The 1st Minnesota is famous!! (Granted West Virginia is probably a bit more famous, seeing as it's a direct result of the war, but hey, I can be biased, right? )

There's nothing wrong with being proud of your history.

Actually, it's sad that too many people don't know their history...it's something I think should be taught and reinforced in school as much as math and science, but it's not and you get a less responsible Citizenry for it. =/

the question also is who trusts me enough to work with me?

Is history not a mandatory subject in the school curriculum?
