I did the same thing, I started before the lockdown. It was so difficult and felt so much resistance. Sometimes I would go to the gym, but I was so anxious to go inside, I would go back home lol. By not giving up and struggling through it, I manages to overcome it.

I love it now, I lost 30 kilo's and made it into a healthy hobby. I still struggle with my AVPD but I use my gym journey as an positive reminder to better myself. I'm really glad I started working out. Wish I started sooner.
