Long time lurker, first time poster. Excuse formatting, on mobile, etc etc.
Like many, quarantine screwed me up. I gained weight while stuck in a mentally abusive relationship, started to work out again once that dude left the state, but then Covid. I hate the way my body looks. I've never had to work to stay thin before (I had a physically demanding job that kept me in shape). I lost soccer as my workout and decided to do my part as a generous person of society and not leave the house last year. And now I'm 40 pounds overweight.
My husband has been supportive, still thinks I'm sexy,, but he goes to the gym almost every day. Ive tried going with him but I hate it. So instead,, I've started walking a few nights a week. Sometimes 50 minutes when I get a good podcast going. Sometimes only 20. And not every day, but this week I've gone out 4 times!
I hit a milestone today and reddit, I believe, is to thank. I ran two blocks today. Not walk, not weird the weird try-to-beat-oncoming-cars shuffle, but a legitimate run. Never has it felt so good to move my feet like that again.
So thank you reddit, you gave me incentive and I only hope I can return the favor.
