Everything is awful, but today I joined a gym

So everything in my personal life is in shambles right now and I just got out of the hospital...(glossing over not-so-long story blah blah blah...) But pettiness is a pretty good motivator so time to kill it at the gym and build a better future than the one I just lost. Wish me luck! You guys are my only friends through this journey.

I struggled with anorexia when I was younger, but have had a poor relationship with calorie counting since. I find it hard to eat a healthy range and instead tend to think "diet = calorie deprivation = <600 calories a day". This post will hopefully keep me accountable. I'm also thinking about just starting to work out and build that into my routine, then start calorie counting in earnest in a few weeks.

I'm so scared about going to a gym though. I worry that I'll experience all the horror stories, and not the supportive ones. Honestly it'd be best just to be left alone I think unless I find a workout buddy! I'm going to be the fat ugly girl who is holding back tears, great! But it's all in the name of progress, right?

Idk if I'm supposed to tag this but just in case: F, 33, 5'4", SW & CW: 208. GW: 130-140 I guess?
