Chub Life

In short, I don’t reply to anything any more, although I do occasionally contribute the odd photo. This what I am comfortable with and for a multitude of reasons, some of which are below:

-I am busy, I work, I have two voluntary admin roles and I have other hobbies. This takes up a stupendous amount of time and energy. When I do reply to messages I prioritise IRL friends and family, because I value them the most

-One of the other hobbies mentioned above, not only takes up a lot of my free time, it requires me to be really fit especially if I am to pursue it beyond county level. I am much much happier when I feel fit, and although I am the first to say fit =/= skinny, weight loss and toning is natural when calories expended > calories in. As wonderful as the community it, it makes the above goal very challenging for me. 

-I have no interest in being encouraged, nor gaining weight. Despite best efforts there are people who do not respect this. Obviously the easiest route is ignore them, and I do, but the by product of this means I ignore everything.
