Added 2023-04-24 03:58:54 +0000 UTCI have a small victory to share with you! For the entirely of my life I've not easily gained weight. Last year at my physical check up my doctor told me I had lost 4.5 Kg since the year prior and was now according to my bmi underweight.
I had been cycling to and from work everyday not realizing that my body physically was not keeping up. So I stopped cycling- but the anxiety came in. My therapist pointed out the obvious, that exercise was vital to my brain balance. In late December I started using weights at home and began changing my food intake so that I was regularly eating enough to support my love for cycling.
I finally had the courage to go to a gym for the first time this weekend and after my anxiety chilled out after a few minutes I found I really enjoyed it. I weighed myself there for the first time since my check up last year and it's not a lot but I have gained 7lbs in 4 months. I'm really happy for myself and the changes I have made- and to push through things that made me fearful or self conscious I can happily ride my bike without worrying about what I am doing to my body🥰🥰
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
