It's been 10 months since I posted!!!
I'm still struggling to actively see physical results myself, but according to the scale I lost ~10 kilos & according to my grandma it is visible.
I moved my week schedule I little so I now go to the gym on Fridays rather than Tuesdays (because that way I have the weekend to recover & don't lose therapy days to exhaustion).
At the moment my gym visits have the following activities regularly;
• Indoor Bike • Leg Press • Arm Extension • 3-4kg Dumbells (different activities based on day) • Treadmill (walking with increased steapness, I'm too scared to try running on it lol)
Some may not be very weekly depending on my physical state that day, but they're the things I use the most.
If anyone has tips for any of these (or specific things to do with Dumbells ) that would be highly appreciated!!
One issue I'm still facing are cravings & living in a household where it doesn't matter how often I ask to "stop buying me chocolate or sweets, it makes me overeat" it only lasts for a few weeks before they start again 💔 -- LOVE my grandparents and know they mean well, but it's getting exhausting to re-explain myself constantly. I tend to rely on sweets during emotional distress, which due to my mental health is part of how I ended up overweight! I'm trying to resist the urge but cravings do take over a lot.
Any advice on how to redirect myself to maybe use more healthy snacks (if I cant stop stress eating fully yet) and maybe help keep those sweets more moderated? I keep trying to but fail miserably every time :(
Another question I have is how do you motivate yourself to go outside on walks more? I haven't done so in a decade, and childhood memories of walks aren't pretty. Being an artist, I was planning to try going outside and draw out in the forest a bit during the warmer months: but now its the end of the year and I never did it. I'd love to go out and play out in the fields and forests like a kid again, but shame/embarrassment is a huge reason I'm scared. I'm an adult now, and terrified of getting weird looks or remarks if I start just having fun outside 😔 Covid and being quarantined alongside my social anxiety have only made this fear worse.
I probably for that also will need to wait until it is warmer again, as i don't have the money to get clothes to actually hang out outside in winter, but hey! I'm still better off than last year!! (i have consistently gone to the gym 2-3 times a month this whole year!!)
Last but not least I DO have Dumbells for at home. I got them hoping I could try doing smaller things here. Issue is my grandparents immediately got worried about me accidentally dropping them and harming the floor, and i suffer a lot with embarrassment being observed doing things differently than my usual life, so I'm not sure where to start. Are there any sport mats or something I could get? where if I drop them on accident the floor is protected & the noise is reduced ? I don't have a ton of space atm so I need minimal/smaller equipment 🙏
Thank you so much I you really through this!!
