Looking for advice on joining a sport when you’re overweight!

Hey y’all!

I’m (20 F) overweight. Okay no, I’m technically obese I guess. I weight 240-250lbs, it fluctuates between that ten!

I’ve come to realize that I’m a little competitive. I didn’t play sports as a kid, so as an adult, this all feels really overwhelming. I hate going to the gym. I start strong, but end up falling off because -for me- it’s just so bland. I want community and competition.

I wouldn’t mind joining a rec sports team, but I am lArGe, my friends. I worry.

So, I am wondering if any of you have done the impossible. Have you joined a local sport? What was it? Were you welcomed as a fat person? What were some outcomes (positive and negative) from joining? Tips?
