I went to a birthday party yesterday partly to "change environment" and spend time with people, but I came home antsier than ever and with even less desire to socialize

I guess part of therapy is learning how to see the line between "stepping outside of the comfort zone to improve" and "harming yourself"

the main problem is there are too many great books, movies, video games, comics, TV shows, music, sports, languages, musical instruments, crafts, and various hobbies that I could get into and I want to get into all of them. the human lifespan is only about 80 years unfortunately AND I'm prone to both accidents and lapses in resolve

This pic got flagged for being too saucy, so I'm reuploading it with the correct community label to see if it's spared by the Porn Police AI this time 🤞

i joined a new gym late last year and it’s been good, but i just found one literally across the highway from my apartment that’s more powerlifting-focused. i will sit with this information for at least week before i make any decisions but eeeeee!!!

Had trouble with the eyes on this one. The original I had was pretty messed up on that score. If I enlarged the pic or reduced the noise any more, it got really weird. Still, he’s a good looking guy.

Enlarged by 2x and adjusted photo for clarity.

You do not wake up with a six-pack after completing a week's worth of workouts... I wish it were that easy but it's not, baby 😭

You will have to believe in yourself, your routine, and just keep going. It will take time but you will get there.

reblogging re @thestarminstrel's tag about the weightlifting bros being figments of Aiden's imagination in this headcanon to say that they are real actually, but Aiden doesn't know which is which or their personalities which is why they all act like clones of his idea of Eugene AND why Julian Diaz, the littlest of the bros, canonically, is the biggest in the novels XP (for anyone wondering, Brad is the tallest but does Aiden know? no. he doesn't even know Eugene's Filipino. why the fuck would he keep track of his friends' names?)

WAIT. GUYS. I FIGURED IT OUT.

The Fence novels are just Aiden’s dream.

Think about it—Nick and Seiji acting like 9 year olds and Eugene being a side character with no personality but ‘bro’ and Harvard being the most admired and perfect person in school… it all makes SO much sense if you consider that it’s AIDENS perception of them all and his fantasy of getting together with Harvard

Not that I disagree with this, but. personally I do weightlifting because I want to be proud of my body not because of what it looks like but because of what I can do. I am a fat woman and I'm really tired of feeling bad because of how I look and the pressure to not be fat. So now when I see or feel the muscles under my fat and I notice I'm able to easily squat down to pet small dogs in teh park I'm like yeah! I did that!

I'm very hungry

But I don't know what I want to eat

So nothing sounds good

I get hungry until I have to eat

By then I should be horizontal 💀

(I also threw out my microwave a couple of months ago so I couldn't have any more hyper processed foods)(but there is one that was a guilty pleasure)(and I felt I was having it too much)(desperate measures were needed)

I've generally been eating better tho

No you see they absolutely CAN judge my gains because I recently switched gyms from a large, basic, public gym that rhymes with Splanet Sfitness to a smaller Gymbro™️ gym where everyone is built like a greek god and I'm p sure half the men in there are actively on a cycle, and while they are all—and I cannot express this enough—incredibly nice people who have welcomed me with open arms, and although I have only been here for a few weeks, they are all insane lifters and therefore of everyone in my life they can judge my gains

Happy to report that after a week of memeing on Dash for skipping his annual leg day, karma has gotten me. I’m now known as “the girl who couldn’t turn her car alarm off” at my local gym.
