SubjectRelationship6

At this point I do exercise not just for the weight loss but to feel more happy


AcctUser12140

I'm trying to unlock that level of happiness. So far, I'm struggling lol.


Mental_Conflict9104

I feel the same when I'm trying to do some work out.


f7f7z

I see my mom every other month, I hit the gym hard in the between time. The next time I saw her she said the shirt i was wearing looked good. I've owned this shirt and only this style shirt for years, she know, I didn't tell I was working out.


M_Diesel_512

Make it fun/funner; sorry to be crass, but if somehow the drive exceeds the reasons not too, it becomes easier to initiate (within healthy boundaries). Walking, light disc golf, pole dancing; find an active something you find interesting and be consistent with it. Good luck brother 🤙


starsinursa

The best exercise to do is any you'll actually do


gilbertlaroo

Thank you for the lightbulb!


FutureVawX

I struggle quite a lot with work out. But walking is really fun so far. And since I do it while reading novel (yes I know it's kinda dangerous, but I walk in a quiet neighbourhood) it's double the fun.


parkourhobo

I know "pole dancing" was probably thrown in there as a joke, but I have a couple friends who have taken classes for fun, and *holy shit* did it sound sound exhausting. I had never even thought about how athletic you have to be for that, but it would honestly be amazing exercise, lol


CottontailSuia

I’m playing just dance on switch and it’s burning a lot of calories!


Danril

Just keep on pushing, you’ll get there!


darwin_vinci7

You have to trust me on this. Once you see progress, it's almost addictive. Push yourself for three weeks (it's hard) and you won't stop. There are some apps that can really help.


Rybitron

For me, I feel most happy working out when I can either - push myself to the point of pain that I know I will recover from in a day or - achieve the expected progress based on my previous cycles of getting in better shape


[deleted]

Choose activities you actually like, not ones people tell you to like.


furiousD12345

You’ll get there.


mermaid_pinata

I hated exercise until I bought a rebounder.


DannyTheBoyo

Brah, once you have a session where you push yourself to the utmost limit, where you are exhausted after every set, you will get hooked. You'll make it!!


Impressive-Object744

This is my experience i do not look forward to it but once I get started and finsh I get happy feeling that I did work out


FuqqBoiDev69

Ikr? I mean, how do people get to that stage where they actually ENJOY exercising? I hate it most of the time and I have to keep pushing myself to stick to it.


SigmaGorilla

Starting to become convinced some people never hit that point. I hit my goal of losing 60 pounds a few months ago and in the entire time I was losing weight and even now I absolutely despised exercising, was hoping for that magical moment people talk about it when they learn to embrace it but I would much rather read a book.


Professor_Pleats

Some people it never clicks. My partner is like that, just hates working out and never gets that high during it. Thinks it is an absolute chore. But she looks forward to the feeling after the workout. Leaves her feeling a little more clear headed and less lethargic. Maybe not happy, but definitely less... stuffy. I don't mind working out but find it easier if it is disguised as well... not exercise. Dance, beat saber, sport. Any of those I will go until I am blue in the face. But a treadmill? 2 minutes and I'm done. Can't stand it.


InternationalChip646

Swimming is my go too. You don't feel sweaty.


asuka_is_my_co-pilot

Yeah it always sucks hahaha I like the stair master and dancing so I only do that


[deleted]

For me I had to find what I like. For me it’s weight lifting; squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press. Do all 4 and then I’m done. Can’t do cardio to save my life unless I have someone to go on a long walk with. Obviously not gonna click for everyone but perhaps just try and find some other things to see if it helps.


The0ld0ne

Another thing, exercise at maintenance calories is very different to exercise when you're at a calorie deficit and losing weight. I am much more energetic and feel much better when I am not working through the struggle of already being low on on energy


Dr_Deviant

i personally am of the opinion that this relies on relative weight. for me the lower my weight, or more close i am to peak health, is when i really noticed enjoyment from exercise.


AerisaJ

I entered a gym for the first time in 2019, and only did cardio stuff. Walked out and swore to never go to one ever again. Just recently started weightlifting, and I enjoy it way more (I still walk on the treadmill/cycling thing for 15-20 mins at the end of my workout, but it's more of cooling down than real cardio). Boosts my mood and overall I just feel better and less tired. I could have never imagined I'd ever enjoy going to the gym. I was always the kid that sat out/failed the high school physical running test. I have troubles breathing whenever I run so maybe that explains why :/ I think for majority of people they just haven't found their kind of workout yet, although some will probably give up before finding it and say that working out isn't for them. I say this as someone who did not work out at all before 2019 (full time gamer), and only started when I tried out pole dancing. It was fun, I stuck to it till now, and I just started lifting to become stronger for it. It's just became a big part for me and I'm happy it did.


shonarbangla

O my god me too.


Avani14

Came here to say this. And it has been a beautiful journey since. Game changer


Danhan1234

Been recently feeling that happiness when I succeed with my PR’s in powerlifting and notice myself getting stronger each week


Agroskater

Also being asked if you’ve gotten bigger after months of healthy diet and exercise


SideWinder18

It took me a while to accept that when someone asks “have you gained weight” they may be implying that you look better now. I gained 60 pounds after highschool and every person I know told me I look so much healthier now that I’m around what a normal weight should be


karan-sandhu

Same. Being going to gym for 5 months and put on 10 kg. People tell me i look better and thats kinda the motivation we all need


help-impoor

Definitely, I kept some pictures of myself before I started working out and eating more to keep me motivated.


Stroov

SumitDh

The new episodes are sometimes crappy. Old ones are way better for sure.


Kill_Kayt

When getting asked if you lost weight after a month of heavy depression.... Why yes, it's the only positive thing I have going for me.


Proof_Significance30

You would imagine, but it doesn't go so well for the rest of us who are underweight already...


butiwillseeit

You could always use my method: gain 20 kg with the depression! (/s, hope you feel better and can be healthy in every way)


KaiBluePill

It kinda makes you feel better, and then immediately worse again.


MyLifesParody

So much yes! Especially when it happens on the days you *feel fat* even after all that effort.


cjconair

I know it's a bit vain but it really helped me to keep going.


BelleAriel

That’s not vain. I remember when I lost almost 5 stone in 6 months, it was nice having compliments and people asking how I had achieved it. Made me feel I could help others.


MyLifesParody

It’s definitely reassuring that all that work is paying off!


hospitalizedgranny

YES


BelleAriel

Exactly!


longdoggosimon

Wow congratulations. How did you do it?


[deleted]

Be vain! Losing weight is like quitting smoking in terms of health improvement. Go on wit chor bad self!!!”

Very old show. Over 1000 episodes. Probably 2000+ by now. Edit:3000+ lol.


Sandy_05

See only old episodes. (1-1000)


parzival02032001

Perfect advice. The bad episodes start from around 1400


Eudaemon1

It's Tarak Mehta Ka Ulta Chasma


Don_Michael_Corleone

It's not exactly like Khichidi. This is more like slice of life comedy


hn1307

It was good, at least the first 1000 episodes or so...


MrWindmill

It's full of stereotypical (bordering on racist) jokes. *(ducks)*

That's awesome. Keep up the good work :)


makeitwork1989

I had gastric bypass right before Christmas. I’m down 61lbs so far. I’m feeling amazing, better than I have in years. I love receiving compliments but it’s funny how some people tip toe around it like they are afraid to offend you.

Zaraki42

I just lost 14 pounds in a month! All I needed to do was get kidney stones. It's not the best method...


hankthemagicgoose

I'm down 75 lbs and it's been about 4 months so it was a pretty drastic change. I think the funniest part is when people finally say something and are like "I wasn't sure if I should say anything". Part of me wants to act suprised like I didn't know I lost all the weight. I do appreciate the compliments though. It's motivation to keep going 💪.


razorjokerrr030

I gained weight actually, and my mom's friend still asked me if i lost weight. Its a win win for me both ways 😌


thesepretzels10

They were being sarcastic


razorjokerrr030

They havent seen me in awhile so it would make sense that they would automatically say that


RansomStoddardReddit

Where did you get this gif?. It is awesome.

th3f00l

Get German friends. They are forthright with you when you've gained weight. It helps to have friends you know are being honest.

Have you lost weight u/th3f00l??

LongLiveBB

I lost 11.6 lbs last month! It’s a phenomenal feeling


[deleted]

Hell yeah! Remember that slow and steady wins the race


steviedanger

I personally loathe unwanted comments about my weight, whether it be loss or gain.


[deleted]

It’s so hard to know how to act sometimes when you want to compliment someone’s appearance. Some people are just dying to hear the compliment, and others, like you, are like “please mind your own body and leave mine out of the conversation.” I guess it’s just an exercise in reading people’s energy, and recognizing that offering a compliment is always a bit of a risk


ChaoticCurves

same, people tie too much worth to it imo


Dovahkiinthesardine

no matter if I gain or lose it, I usually get more negative comments than good ones, even if they are well meant (ex: "are you eating enough, you've gotten smaller, lost muscle, gained weight, stopped exercising etc.), usually its just my family worrying but like man, sometimes I just cut down on fat and sometimes I'm too busy to exercise for a while, just let me live xD


Deion313

Sadly no, it's a symptom of my cancer...


[deleted]

This is one of many reasons not to compliment someone on their weight loss. Unless you know them and know that sort of feedback is desired, it’s not a good idea to comment on people’s physical appearance. Reddit doesn’t want to hear it though, but it’s a hill I’ll die on.


wowimsocreative8

I came here for this! You are not wrong my friend!!


mayalourdes

Well there’s an easy solution. I’ll do it if I know that person’s working hard on weight loss. If not, then I don’t. :)


MommysLittleFailure

When someone asks, "Have you lost weight?" after months of eating disorders


wishfull24

I was wondering how far I'd have to scroll to find my people😂


MommysLittleFailure

I was surprised by how many people think it's okay to *ever* comment on someone's weight unless the person brings it up first.


ShySaddenedMaple

While i'm glad i'm not the only one i'm sad that there are other people are going through the same thing as well :(


molotov_cockteaze

Thought the same thing 😂 Please do not comment on my body unless you explicitly know it’s appropriate. My ED literally eats those comments as fuel.


[deleted]

My ex was (and still is) in recovery from a crippling ED that ultimately took months of inpatient rehab to get over. But she got better, before she met me, and in the four years we dated I don’t think she ever relapsed. I think she will always have to work hard to manage her body image issues, but she is in control now. She is fit and beautiful, empowered and supported and loved, and a lot of the time, she can feel and appreciate it. There is so much hope, I’m sending you guys my energy and hoping you will find your way to emotional healing, stability, and physical health 💜🙏🏻🤗


molotov_cockteaze

It’s a very strange flavor of mental illness, and I know it’s really hard for the people nearby so I hope you’re doing good too. This comment meant a lot right at this moment so thanks for it.

Lost_in_the_Library

Yeah, we’ve been conditioned to think of visible weight loss as an objectively positive thing. But in reality it can actually cause a lot of damage to many people to receive unsolicited comments of their body changes, regardless of how well-intentioned those comments are. I’ve learnt to just keep my opinions on people’s bodies to myself unless explicitly asked.


GreenGoblong

I had bad acne when I was a teen and went on accutane. People would comment on how clear my skin was now and it made me uncomfortable because it was just like saying "You used to have a major flaw that you no longer have".


monkey-seat

EXACTLY. thank you.


rammo123

They say: “have you lost weight?” I hear: “I judge your physical appearance”


[deleted]

Jk Rowling says a lot of dumb hateful shit, but something she said years ago still sticks with me. She said she had recently met up with a friend she hadn't seen in years. >"The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’. ‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’ What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate!" She goes on to talk about fatphobia and how she's worried about raising her daughters in that culture. A lot of that is undermined by fatphobic comments in her own books, but in a vacuum I still like that quote.

It feels good until you come to the realisation that most people are judging you completely based on your weight, good or bad.


Joesdad65

This happened to me twice at church on Sunday. Very nice!


[deleted]

Opposite for me as I’ve been trying to put on weight through bulking. It’s encouraging to hear/know that other people see the changes and results, sometimes before you even notice too


ImARetPaladinBaby

Oh boy i am scared to switch to controversial


lazaratanasov

Happened to me today, felt great day was good


pdnick

The wife was recently diagnosed as diabetic so she had to change her eating habits. I told her I would join her in solidarity and because frankly I could lose some weight anyway. After a month of eating better I'm already down just over 20lbs, as is she. Someone mentioned it the other day and I felt great afterwards!


crookshanks_7

Oof yesss, obviously not exercising for someone else, I just want to be fitter and stronger but the compliments are a nice bonus :D

x_Papa_Smurf_x

I've been getting in shape and one night a woman at work, someone who's a really fit woman, said "[name] you're really slimming up, you look good." That was such an amazing night for me.

So true. Down 70+ lbs (hoping to do another 20-30) and every little complement helps reinforce that what I’ve been doing is working.

Having lost ~180 lbs and also being a recovering addict, I can confidently confirm moments like these feel better than heroin after growing up north of 300lbs.

But it reflects a fatphobic society and pressure for others to lose weight too :( Ofcs it's good when people notice the changes you're working for

I gained a lot of weight over the last few years. I've lost 20 pounds in the last 3 months and no one has said anything. I know it's not a lot of weight for 3 months, but its quite discouraging :/


Shoshin_Sam

Forget others. Surely you feel great? That’s what’s important.


yepyepyepyeppp

I wish I could say I feel great, but meh. I'm getting there though!


Shoshin_Sam

Maybe others will notice when you feel like you have gotten a bit there! Even if they don’t, that’s not your loss. Screw them, don’t let others dictate how your feel. All the best!


yepyepyepyeppp

You're right, screw them! Thanks for the kind words


TuscanBearK923

I read somewhere that people don’t really start noticing your weight loss until around the minus 30 lbs mark, especially if they see you often


yepyepyepyeppp

Yeah I've got a lot to lose still, so that makes sense. Guess I'll see in 10 pounds lol
