Walking is a really good form of exercise! I do it a lot too. Exercise doesn't have to be extremely strenuous to be good/beneficial.
why do you dislike it so strongly? No judgement, I'm just curious.
It just hurts and unlike what everyone keeps saying, it never gets easier or more enjoyable. I once went to the gym three times a week for seven hours each time for six months and it did literally Jack shit for my health. I only gained weight because the exercise just made me too hungry so I canceled it out. It doesn't even make me feel good either and I never stopped being sore from it.
Damn, that sucks :( Have you considered lighter exercises like walking/hiking? Strictly going to the gym isn't necessary to help one's mental state. I don't do any extremely strenuous exercises either, at least not right now. Also, out of curiosity, what were you eating when hungry?
I hate hiking because of ticks and I know there are ticks in my area and they can spread Lyme disease which can potentially make me allergic to meat which I would hate even more. Walking sucks for much of the same reason since my neighborhood is pretty close to all the wildlife in my city so it's little better than hiking.
Yeah, I get what you mean. Whenever I'm in a depressive mood I stop eating and I end up losing weight, I'm trying to put on more weight now as well.
I know body dysmorphia included depression is somewhat common with people who work out a lot, especially with bodybuilders. I feel the same way too sometimes, especially when progress is so slow, y'know?
That's really good :) I've never gone to the gym for the same reason, it's too anxiety-inducing for me, but I think I might end up biting the bullet and doing it anyways; can't hurt to try if nothing else. I'm glad that the thread is inspiring you though! Even simple physical exercise make me feel better.
I have weights and a bench at home. I do a full body workout with weights three times a week. When it's warm enough I bike an hour or two a few times a week as well.
Is it possible that it was because of it being part of your job? I feel that mentality can change a lot when it comes to how enjoyable something is; if you do it for yourself you may feel differently. It's kinda like when you choose to do something on your own accord vs when someone tells you to do something. Being told to do something kinda sours the experience, y'know?
Yeah I'm sure I'll come to love stabbing my eyes if I just do it on my own accord.
Man, I agree with you. I despise it and I've never felt any benefits from it. In my case I think I was traumatised because I was the fat kid at school and P.E. teachers just made me feel miserable.
I also used to be super morbidly obese and couldn't do anything barely and so I am grateful that I can
I've been wanting to ask you this for a while. Are you actually an incel?
