I agree, my workouts and my diet has been suffering since the 1st day I arrived at college. Not because of time, but due to personal problems, but Im getting back into it.

A Call to Arms (Naviator)

Fri, 07 Oct 2005 08:43:42 GMT

     As you have probably guessed, I was not exactly welcomed with open arms when I first joined the DB family. It took folks a few threads to realize the true nature of my evil. In my first year on this site I have seen many people come and go, some of them because of me. I guess I am the Larry Flynt of DB, or you could say Jesus H. Naviator if you're really pissed. You either love me or hate me; there's really no room in the middle.

     I'm not sure exactly how I happened on this forum, but I do know that it was love at first sight. Every day I would be looking forward to new conflicts, golden opportunities, and, of course, another gruelling Optimum Anabolics workout entry. It took only a short time before DB became a part of me. And, I suppose I became a part of DB as well when I received my first nickname, "The DB Catalyst."

     Circumstances arose in my life this year that forced me to concentrate on other aspects of my walk, so I shied away from DB and quit working out. After my life calmed down a bit and I managed to scrape some spare time together I still found that working out still has not found its way back into my schedule. I'll be starting again Monday, BTW. I have seen many members who do not post because they are not working out. I felt the same unworthiness, but pushed it out of my mind when I truly thought about it.

     My workout does not define me. I am who I am whether I am in the gym or in the gutter. Though I have lost twenty pounds and broken solemn oaths to myself I am still Naviator. I am still a valid part of this family. Everyone that has signed on to DB as a member is a valid part of the family, no matter what their stage in life.

     This is a call to all who have come and gone. Some were extremely valued members who made great contributions and left without saying Goodbye. We miss you. We want you back. Please rejoin our family, and continue to make a difference in people's lives. This isn't just a small neighborhood. DB is worldwide and growing. You can touch someone across the planet and not even know it. You may have things going on in your life right now, which we all understand. Be more. Come back.
