Is fluff boy drinking enough water?

 

[f1shie]

@graoumia He is!!

So all I did today was walk around… a hospital. Because of a family emergency. He’s gonna make it he’s just an idiot. Did some meditative breathing so 501, at least? Does it count if I literally skipped out of the hospital?

And so I will say

Please if you have an addiction

There is help.

And you are loved.

 

[graoumia]

Lots of love, it is so hard

 

[Maegaranthelas]

That sounds like a stressful day!
Big hugs

 

[Syrius]

Yes, I think skipping out of the hospital counts as does walking around a hospital.

 

[MadamMeow]

Glad things ended alright, but sorry you had to deal with that and I hope they get help.

 

[f1shie]

Thank you all for being so sweet. I’ll definitely be kind to myself this weekend.

1,112 - ... Ah man, 1,111 was yesterday LMAO, okay. Oh well. I was doing my stuff on mobile and I was scrambled af but here I am. So basically, I told one of the bosses here (the one in my office usually), "look last night sucked i'm tired af if i'm not peppy that's why" and she said if I needed to take an early afternoon then that'd be fine if it's slow. It got slow, I left an hour early, went for a walk around the neighborhood...

... and chilled with this dude for a bit

(he's in the middle)

502 - Basically in the pond near my house there's this somewhat submerged bench? One leg of it is on land and the other on water, it's like a super teeny dock. So I just sat and breathed for a while with the frog homie. I saw other frogs when I walked around the edge but there was just one in particular that seemed to be aware of me but just didn't mind me hangin' out.

[f1shie]

1.125 and 515 - So I did a lot of walking and some meditation today, but I saw a photo of myself from my panel today and just…

I need advice. How do y’all not hate your bodies? My double chin and my sagging stomach are uh, points that are wrecking me right now. And I’m supposed to be happy and chill at a con. But the mirror in the bathroom is too low so I can unfortunately see too much.

Halp.

 

[Maegaranthelas]

Oh that's not a fun feeling

One thing that I've been working on is Body Neutrality.
Not everyone is able to easily love their body, and that is okay.
What you can work on though, is appreciating your body for the things it can do for you.
My thighs can squat me and carry me up stairs, awesome!
My belly holds delicious food and also a heckton of bits that are kinda necessary for staying alive, and that's pretty dang cool.
Body fat is just my body preparing in case things go very wrong, it's anxious about me being able to get enough food in future. It really means well.

If you can, try to remind yourself of all the amazing things your body can do and how it feels to move.
And also that we all care about you regardless of what you look like, most of all your fluffy boy Cooper!

I think it's really neat that you're at a con! What's the coolest costume you have seen so far?

 

[graoumia]

So sorry to hear that I don't love my body, cannot help you on this question, but @Maegaranthelas is so right, the first thing is not hating it, neutrality seams great to start feeling better. Can you change your mirror if it is not well located ? Because if too low the image it sends to you is certainly not the right one, except if you are 2 meters high, people don"t see you this way

 

[f1shie]

@Maegaranthelas I need to staple that to my mirror or something. You’re an absolute star. <3 I’ll thank you properly someday. Perhaps with Coop cuddles that may transfer to your soul.

As for the coolest, I forgot to get a photo of them but someone had such a cool Cloud Strife outfit with a baller af sword. It looked so good dude.

@graoumia So the mirror that made me go “oh no” is the one in the hotel bathroom so I can’t change it. But I can also just… Keep that in mind - people shouldn’t see me in a hotel bathroom unless something REALLY WRONG happened, so you are right - that isn’t how I’m seen! So I need to just, understand that perspective. Thank you <3

1,126 and 516 - Lots of deep breathing today. And so much walking. And squatting oddly enough?

I may do a larger con post later. But for now, I slep.

But honestly, all of you are such angels. I hope you all understand this.

 

[graoumia]

Welcome Angel

 

[f1shie]

you’re an angel too buddy. Don’t forget that.

1,127 and 517 - So much walking. Little meditation throughout the day.

Seriously the cardio for this con has been insane. It’s great. And now I’m comfy in the hotel bed and chilling with my best friend.

Things are nice.

 

[f1shie]

1,128 - SO MANY WALKING.

518 - WE DOIN' SOME MEDITATION LADS.

Good thing - Okay, I'm still tired, but con was lit. I did tons of walking, and also some squats needed to happen for my Zoro photoshoot. Now, I'm still heavy, I am not where I wanna be for my weight, but my stamina is sure getting better. And my squats? Damn, I'm reaching levels of booty not understood by some mortals. So look, I'm wide af, but I'm SOMEWHERE and that's good.

Cooper status - HE IS PLEASED. WE HAVE RETURNED.

 

[f1shie]

1,129 - I NEEDED TO CHILL. So I did some shoulder taps and calf raises.

519 - WE DOIN' SOME MEDITATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY, MINUTE OR SO AT A TIME, LET'S GO.

Good thing - I am very tired still, but I'm tired because I had a good time. Love y'all.

Cooper status - Happy I was home resting for the day. Tomorrow, we tackle... work!

 

[Maegaranthelas]

I am so glad you had a good time at the con! And that you have trained yourself a booty worthy of legend, I am super proud of you
Also that Cloud Strife outfit sounds dope, especially if someone went to the effort of making a big-ass sword =D

 

[f1shie]

@Maegaranthelas DUDE FOR REAL, I forgot to take a photo of them but there was like, no real good context for me to do it anyway? I don't like interrupting people when they're shopping.

Now... I've trained the booty. What next?

1,130 - SQUATS AND SOME SHOULDER TAPS BECAUSE I HAD A LATE DAY.

520 - IT WAS AN ANXIETY DAY SO I DID FORCE MYSELF TO DO SOME THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

Good thing - It was a good anxiety but I don't wanna jinx what it was BUT just, give me some hope or something, something good MAY HAPPEN SOON

Cooper status - fluff boy went on a walk with mom and dad

 

[f1shie]

1,131 - Squats and calf raises! Did about 60 seconds of squats per the daily thing and the calf raises were from just, doing Duolingo and stuff. Sometimes you just gotta calf raise and learn.

1,132 - Squats, calf raises, clenches/unclenches, chilling outside with mom and dad and Coop!

522 - FOUND OUT WHY I HAD ANXIETY YESTERDAY. Because I have my period today. First time in like, three months. Anyway! Been doing some meditation without the app sporadically throughout the day so that's good.

Good thing - Cool Fish had chill day <3

Cooper status - THERE ARE FIREWORKS HE MUST BOOF AT THEM oh hey I don't hear any anymore, good job Coop
