I'm 19 and autistic, and due to lockdowns in the UK i lost my last job; I've been stewing at home for the last 18? months and I've put on loads of weight due to what i suspect is some kind of either food addiction or compulsive eating disorder.
I'm currently in the process of trying to eat healthier both in content and volume despite having 'feeder' parents, but my true question regards exercise.
I have no fucking clue how to do it.
Gyms instill a fear into me like no other place and I cannot, in spite of knowing that others do not care at all, go to one.
Working out at home feels aimless and as though nothing's getting done or will make changes.
My third option, I feel, is to work in a trade wherein I have long hours and physically demanding tasks, like construction or a subset of jobs in that bubble, as the best shape I've ever been in was in my brief stint as a kitchen assistant.
Is this viable? Or do I need to overcome my aimlessness in regards to working out? How do I overcome this? It's a genuine concern to me since loads of people swear by gyms and workouts but despite my efforts it just doesn't feel like anything's ever working and I feel both resigned to being overweight and as though I'm less of a person for not enjoying exercise.
