Hi Craig

This article strikes a chord with me. Seven years ago I spent up to 20 hours a day on my computer, mostly chatting in chatrooms. It became my social life. I was already overweight, but that became the least of my problems. Due to my inactivity I developed Deep Vein Thrombosis in my upper thigh. Deadly – I am lucky to be here today.

As a result of this I later found out that I have a genetic disorder that predisposes me to blood clots. Useful information sure – glad I know. But i dont regard that as the cause of my DVT. It was my ‘addiction’ to my computer and laziness. Pure and simple.

Needless to say my life has changed dramatically. In fact, during the time it has taken to type this comment, I have had to get up twice as I get very restless if sitting for more than 10 minutes.

So anyway, love your site, love your message, love your style.

Ciao for now!

But I put on 2 kg in I st semester=12 weeks...omg! Anyway 2nd semester (which is over already as I did an intensive subject) is over, but I was more organised and fitted my workouts in this time, and made them a priority. And as everyone in my house knows that when I am working out I am much saner, when I am happy so is everyone else!<br/>Anyway looking forward to the next 3 months off before summer semester and having to be glued to the computer.!

I AM THE OFFICIAL BEARER OF AN OFFICE ASS!!! and not only do i have an OFFICE ASS my wrists are playing up and my fingers go funny due to all of the time in front of a keyboard. Which has made me wonder... could i set an exercise bike up in the office with my keyboard and mouse strapped to the handle bars??<br/><br/>I just moved house on the weekend. There has never been a phone line connected in the new house so i have been without a phone line and the internet (heaven forboade) for almost a week at my new home! I have been kicking back thinking to myself "look at how much extra time i seem to have on my hands" until it was taken away i didn't realise how much time i 'wasted' on the internet.<br/><br/>Yes it's a fantastic tool; but it has made me relaise i should spend more time with my live in town friends than the countless hours i spend updating my 'facebook' friends!<br/><br/>Moral of the story - when i turn on the computer its going to have a purpose....i didnt realise how much time i lost due to having the internet on at home!@ WELL – i have a HEAP to say about this topic.

Yes it’s a fantastic tool; but it has made me relaise i should spend more time with my live in town friends than the countless hours i spend updating my ‘facebook’ friends!

Moral of the story – when i turn on the computer its going to have a purpose….i didnt realise how much time i lost due to having the internet on at home!@
