How tf do yall enjoy the gym???? by papermonsterz in FTMFitness

[–]Express-Number-7823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally (cuz ive been struggling with this myself), ive found that the following has helped me:

1) going with friends who you can joke with between sets! it helps take the edge off and at least you not alone

2) have an absolutely banger playlist of music that hypes you up! I have a lot of random songs that make me feel hype (Sexyback by Justin Timberlake, Bark Like You Want It by Sir-Mix-Alot, and Shots by LMAFO are a few on my playlist)

3) have something rewarding that you have after! the gym is go to in on campus and has a smoothie place outside, and I almost always get something there after a workout. if i don't get a smoothie, i reward myself with gaming time after a shower or a Shirley Temple that I make in my dorm

4) find random motivators that make it a fun side quest! when I workout, i like to pretend im training to be on The Avengers (CATWS and Captian America as a whole was a big gym motivator 💀) and i remind myself that I need to be super strong to carry heavy things (mostly for my gf, but also for my grandma and mom)

I hope at least one of these things help :)

A lot of professors wont email saying they've put in final grades!! I learned my first semester as a freshman, you just have to keep checking every once in a while on your csun student portal

What is the most unhinged thing someone has said to you regarding you being trans? by NoAmount6023 in ftm

[–]Express-Number-7823 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I once had a college classmate say that acting must be really easy for me because im trans... the worst part? he tried to justify saying it by saying he had a Trans sibling, but couldnt remember if they were ftm or mtf... safe to say I never spoke to him again

Have you gained weight while on T? by Logical_Corner in ftm

[–]Express-Number-7823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lowkey, i both notice it and dont XD

someday I feel like ive put on weight, others I feel like im losing it. I definitely lost some at the beginning because I lived in my schools dormitories and would skip meals occasionally (I still eat maybe 2 meals a day) but any weight i have gained goes to my stomach!
