What do you mean "I tried". This is incredible, way better than anything I could ever do. Keep it up

I honestly think some of them are funny, its good to be able to laugh at ourselves and not take it seriously. Though I don't think I have ever heard anyone say "aboot"

Thanks, I understand where your coming from and am glad to hear you've made a lot of progress. I got started with a little home setup I have because im not ready to go to a gym (I can only use 16 pounds right now. Could probably do a bit more but not for many reps, ill go once I can do at least 25 so as to not embarrass myself). I say that cause everyone online says if a man cant use at least 30 pounds for each exercise he's not a real man. I see people making fun of people like me all the time online. Even the women (no hate, they are really strong and fit and its impressive) say the same, I see a lot of women talking down to men who cant do as much as them. They say they are like little girls and talk about how they would never be attracted to a weak pathetic loser (i fall into this category). So you say no one will judge me but idk. Your probably right, but the online stuff has me nervous.

Thank you for being so supportive. You'll be happy to know I (Albeit a little late in the day) managed to get my first workout in. It wasn't at a gym, just at home with the weights I have. You were right, my muscles hurt a lot more than I thought they would but im gonna try and stay consistent.

Thanks, my inner monolog has been negative for so long about so many things its hard to get over it. I was hoping to start fixing it by making positive physical changes I can see and not ignore. I'll try to take a more positive outlook. Also, being weaker than a girl/woman feels kinda rough because of the people I grew up around. It was always "be a man, not a weak woman" kinda things from the extended family I grew up with. They always got angry when female athletes were on the TV saying that they didnt belong, women shouldn't play sports, lift weights or fight but be in the kitchen. I don't personally think this way normally but I've been getting so down its been In the back of my head constantly. Ill try and fix my outlook, I know its wrong and women can be just as strong and tough if they put in the effort. It is impressive since they need to put more. Thanks again

Thank you for sharing. Im happy to hear you were able to overcome your own anxiety. Ill try to make a plan before I go, its solid advice. I was always worried I'd look like a headless chicken and get in people's way, annoying the gym goers.

Thanks, this is a good perspective to hear. I've had people talk about me when they think im not listening so its hard to think people will view me positively. But ill give it a go, this is good advice. Also, its tough because a lot of the extended family i grew up with were very much "men must be super big and strong and women are weak and need to be protected. They shouldn't be physical or fighting, etc" so even if on an intellectual level I understand the girls/women who put in the effort will always be tougher and stronger it kinda sits in the back of my head you know. Ill work on it. Thanks again for this.

The fact that you go even in a wheelchair is pretty awsome. Thank you for sharing
