Went to the gym after 2 years of loathing myself.
Back in 2022, I used to religiously go to the gym non-stop until 2023. I was burnt out from college and internship so I ultimately halted.
When it was 2024, everyday sinasabi ko sa sarili ko na babalik ako sa gym, pero I was filled with anxiety whenever I thought about it. I was scared, helpless, and depressed. Hindi ko alam bakit. I hated myself whenever I saw my body in the mirror, but I did nothing to help myself.
I used to be able to lift 30kg db pressess, do unassisted pull-ups for 15-20 reps, and even run sub 30. I wasn't even toned or had big muscles, but I felt mentally sane.
Now I gained 15 kg over the span of 2 years, 10kg lang kaya ko ma-db press, and I can't even do pull ups or push ups anymore.
But now, I will be better. I will come back stronger, I promise.
