Accept the fatness and lift moderately heavy weights and feel like King Kong by lifting dumbbells or barbells and doing some weight machines
-
Why not just lift moderately heavy weights and gain both muscle and fat? My guess is you are eating bad carbs like bread. Also, have you tried eating soup?
-
I’m going to planet fitness today again :)
-
Hey! That negativity isn’t helping your progress, and you e made some already by starting and posting! What would it take for you to keep going to the PT? Have you taken any notes from the sessions?
-
I haven’t gotten correct macros ever in my life and always felt bad. I still don’t get them,
-
Yeah keep momentum. Give yourself time to learn , but do enough so you feel an oomph that makes you want to do it again and makes it easier next time.
-
If anyone wants to send me a friend request for reminders to go to a gym and stuff is be up for it!
-
I’m back at planet fitness warming up and stretching and doing a few exercises i know that build muscle. Always restarting myself but hopefully will get used to doing it regularly eventually things take a long time for me to learn!
-
Yeah but.. I feel like breaking down the steps to learning to go to a gym is more than just that thought.
-
There is an autism thing where it is hard to change places. Probably because your blood sugar drops in the gym and there is a lot of noise and lights, movement and whatever and not enough calming soothing and entertaining. You are also going alone which makes it harder. Visualise yourself going and eat afterward to make it…

Yeah! Same thoughts in 10th grade, when I was 22, 28, 33, and now 36! Always starting from the beginning and just getting fatter. You need to build up slowly and do something to stay focused like post on this forum. I think the problem is we aren’t getting enough experience actually doing gym stuff and eating sport food to…
-
It doesn’t matter! Learn to exercise and get more practice exercising! You need to not just try, you need more time practicing. Trying is by definition not enough time to practice something to learn it.
-
You just did something about it by posting.. stay on the forum to keep you focused!
-
I have like 1/2 of my high school weight to lose. I have a mental hard time with food and exercise and never really understood it or had enough experience doing it to learn it. I am using this forum to help me focus on going to planet fitness. I am hoping to get on a meal plan diet too.
-
I’m back at a gym finally doing some light warm up and then alternating upper and lower body exercises but not too hard to avoid anxiety
-
Wow I never thought like that. I have worked too that keep from the gym. It’s the soothing familiarity and starting slow that seem to help me. I never go hard but I am trying to learn to.
-
Forget everything you learned about diet. You want to chase the “oomph”. Eat a fitness breakfast and watch your energy go up. Then a few hours later do exercises. Then later in the day eat organic greens and some healthy carbs. Use dumbbells for exercise.
-
I had my special fitness breakfast and a nap and ended up in the gym! Thanks for your support.
-
I am going to have a healthy breakfast entry from my meal plan and then go to the gym tomorrow!
-
Use the challenge as a list of things you get experience doing. You get experience with gym and reading.
-
Why delay, I’d rather start now. Gym log: planet fitness today full body exercises after warm up for half an hour Food log: finally ate normal food after weeks of avoiding it when I got home (pasta pasta sauce orange juice meat)
-
You can try a swing or salsa dance if there is one in your area too instead of going to nightclubs. Nightclubs are fun but you can’t do them forever as you get older. You can social dance until you are in your 90s. I tried Lexapro while being addicted to coffee and not eating.. it did some weird stuff for me. One thing I…
-
Great keep going and if you stop just restart where you left off!
-
“Stuff my face with food” isn’t specific about what food you ate and what was the process. I imagine you skipped some traditional ways of eating such as setting the table, eating with people together, having a first second and third course and then desert. Try that to improve your self esteem. And it will help you cope…

Gym helps with the negative aspects of a personality disorder such as moodiness anger and negativity or drive to manipulate but it can also make someone more grandiose narcissistic or psychopathic if they derive narcissistic supply and energy to apply their personality disorder to people too.

This is typical for cult recruitment to target vulnerable people and promise them a group they can be in.. you got recruited for free work for a whole year (unbelievable!) in the cult and we’re told you would be making the world a better place by making it more diverse.. but in actuality you are being used to recruit for…

Coffee withdrawals, low blood sugar and bacteria in your mouth are the cause. Also mold and dust in your house.
-
So what can we hold you accountable for? For starters, are you planning to eat any non processed food today that has nutrition in it? If so what is one food you can name?

I think people may not know what a full body resistance program is and it may too complicated for them to learn all this at the same time.. perhaps they just need to learn a full body resistance program first as if they cut calories, they will get sad and low energy and not have the energy to workout
