Amen. I needed this now, have been struggling with my weight, got laid off but it's ok. Thankfully have savings so I'm taking time off to just focus on myself and working out. Then going back to a different career, my old one of 22 yrs was literally killing me mentally.

I dont really like this mentality because it makes you work just so that you can show off to other people who at the end of a day dont give a fuck about you and dont like you. You might impress them for a minute or two and then they will forget about it and go on about their day. Just do it for yourself and for a better life, haters will hate no matter what you do.

Overweight people get judged the instant someone sees them. Obviously no one vocalizes this anymore, but it's there. If you make responsible choices with your diet, you almost certainly won't be overweight. You don't even have to exercise. I wouldn't even go to the gym if I was massively overweight. I'd just cut my caloric intake in half for a month first

This was me. Put a load of weight on during pandemic. Met a girl who ghosted me at work.

Went away for 3 months, came off social media, lost close to 40lb. Went back boxing and got back to amazing shape. Got the inevitable apology from the girl who now wanted to start talking again.

Life has never been better. Its now been 6 months since then. I've met somebody amazing. Had a promotion and hopefully will compete in the sport again soon. I'm still not on social media and it feels freeing.

there are those who need people to be against them. dont engage too much, as they aren't seeking mutual exploration on the topic, just reiterating that they feel alone. I hope the person who said u were hypocritical gets the healing they need
