I’m in my mid 30’s and I spent A LONG time working out, getting as fit as I could.
I still hated my body when I looked in the mirror, and I hated every second of the workout. “Post workout” I was so proud, but like, that’s equivalent to drinking so you could appreciate being sober.
I stopped a while ago and started just trying to eat healthy and focus on other sources of happiness. I’m much happier since!
My body is the kind that absolutely won't lose weight unless I do some cardio. Unfortunately, the gym is a while away, and work isn't very forgiving either. If I worked hard on a day, I'll come back home with a headache, and if I run with that my head will split open.
Eating healthy doesn't seem to have an effect on my body. Even if I cut back to 1500 calories, my body fat is so stubborn that I couldn't lose even a single kilogram in 2 months (didn't exercise) of a very strict diet (not to mention I would be hungry sometimes).
I wonder if I could have a treadmill at home, and could just have a brisk walk every night I don't feel like it (and run without going to the gym), I would actually do more cardio and maybe loss weight faster. But I can't afford it.
My body looks like the underside of a frog, so I understand what you're saying.
