So i had made my 1st post in this group about losing 10 pounds i was pretty excited. So good news i went from a 38X30 down to a 36X29. i'm pretty happy. Since i've been losing weight i'm noticing the 38X30's and 38X29's are falling off my butt which is awesome because it means i'm getting closer to my goal day by day.
I've been walking daily and doing a 20 minute light workout of jumping rope since the weather is getting nicer. My friend is a personal trainer and was nice enough to send me his HIIIT workout routine, and he wanted me to try it and i said i would. I do it two days a week and then the other 2 days i do weights at home. With Covid going on i don't take my chances at the gym even if its spotless and cleaned all the time. But i have some 10 pound weights, and some resistance bands i use and switch out.
I need to get a scale so i can track my weight and stuff, my friend suggested i get a digital scale and he also suggested i get a fitness tracker like a apple watch that keeps track of my steps, and other stuff which would be rather helpful. After making my 1st post it was met with several postivie responses which was awesome, but i had someone post on there that since i was trans i should kill myself because i was a waste of space and they didn't see why the mods or admins had let me in the group since i wasn't cis ... which honestly really hurt my feelings. they also then told me that it should have taken me 3 days to lose 10 pounds and not as long as it did take me. I have bipolar 1 disorder and really bad depression.
Honestly my depression has been so bad the last year and the last 3 months, i'm amazed i'm not dead honestly, but it really hurt me when that person said those really rude transphobic things. Like you have no idea what someone goes through on a daily basis especially if they struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts or tendencies. Not only do i struggle with this stuff but also i am on antipsychotics for my bipolar which have made my weight fluxuate and the reason why it took me so long to lose 10 pounds was because of the meds.
Like as a queer enby trans guy i struggle on a daily basis trying to like my body, granted i've been on T for a year and 2 months and had top surgery almost 6 months ago, but when i get comments from people like that one person who said those rude hurtful things to me, it makes me feel like crap. And i know it is easier said then done but you have no idea what someone is dealing with or struggling with, so be careful and think about what you say first before you say something hurtful.
