Self Improvement

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.
While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.
This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.
Rules and guidelines:
- Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.
- Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.
- Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.
- Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.
- Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.

3rd day of early cardio, I hate it but the time is going by faster, I know my life will change if this becomes a daily thing.
negative self talk/fatphobia directed at self
I hate being this big stupid and lazy, I know or at least feel people speak over me or look down on me with pity because of it. If I just can do this and my fasts then I feel I got a chance to transform myself by building discipline. I feel part of me is gonna hit a wall what with doing some job training on top of it but I don't know what other choice I got.I think I at least broke away from the thinking that beautiful people just have it naturally from genetics they work their ass off and just keep it low key. Fasting, exercising, skin care, dressing well, keeping daily hygiene and sleeping enough. All these means reorienting my goals and seeing a bigger picture.
