Wondering who cares
Sometimes I wonder who really cares and who is just on BB to show off. I always message people trying to give words of encouragement or checking on folks after a weekend etc…However I only get one person who seems to care enough to write back (Thanks Jen). Now I know I am not the most beastly guy out there, but I am in decent shape, yes I am a tuff guy and yes I have fought 7 times in a cage (or ring) as an MMA fighter as well I have way to many boxing matches to try to remember. However I still find myself in need of some motivation or really someone to take an interest in how I am doing physically. Truthfully I have been hitting a downslide, now I am not sure if it is due to personel issues a lack of a solid partner or what but it is really getting to me and I am having a harder and harder time staying focused on the diet and now even on training. I am not sure what is going on with me, maybe I need a new goal. Not being able to compete (fight) anymore has really set me back I am sure. I don’t know, however I do know that it does bother me that I seem to care a lot more about people on here than they care about me maybe if I finally get rid of the luv handles and get teh 8 back people will care more, but how shallow is that. I don’t know, maybe I am just having one of those days. I hope everyone else is keeping there motivation up there.

Wow, what’s going on? I hope you’re having one of those days because I’d hate to think that you feel no one cares.

The people here to "show off" as you put it are missing the best part of bb.com. The real people who do care about themselves and others getting better. Can’t tell you how many times people from this site pop in my head when I don’t want to work out, or make those last reps, or last intervals of cardio. they help me get over that mental hump. Have a great day man!

I think we all have those days…I know I do, but you shouldnt think that nobody cares about you! I know my names not Jenn but I thought that we chat quite a bit…maybe I’m mistaken
LOL…just teasing!!! Keep your head up…it will get better!!!

Let me first say that while I think I understand your opinion, let me offer another side to things on BB.com.
I honestly have only a few people that I ‘talk’ with on a regular basis and follow as a means of motivation on this site. I consider them to be friends as much as you can be friends with someone you have never met face to face or talk to. They do offer words of encouragement, a kick in the a$$, a pat on the back and occasional advise. I don’t purposely limit my visits to BB.com to those folks, but in the end, they are the ones I spend the most time communicating with.
It’s an awful lot like the rest of life. No matter what, not everyone clicks. I have tried to communicate with others on here that I thought the ‘friendship’ would help both of us, but for whatever reason it didn’t take root. Just like real face to face communication.
I guess the bottom line is enjoy the friendships you make and let others come as they will. There are a ton of good, good people on this site. People that aren’t here soley to sell something, get your vote for something or get discovered. Eventually we all find those we are best suited for.
Good luck.
