Hi friends. I’ll level with you: I’ve been struggling lately..
Added 2023-05-22 20:09:38 +0000 UTCHi friends. I’ll level with you: I’ve been struggling lately, with the complete lack of work/life balance in my industry, with stubborn plateaus in the kitchen and gym, and with just a lot in general. Things are slowly getting better, but I’m still kinda burned out on gaining. Folks have generally been supportive, suggesting I take a break for a minute to reset. But here’s the vicious cycle/personal dilemma I face: I lose the gaining drive ➡️ That triggers my anxiety➡️ My calorie intake drops➡️ I lose weight➡️ My body dysmorphia kicks into overdrive➡️ I get depressed how skinny I look➡️ And the cycle starts over. What do y’all think? Are breaks worth the short term losses (despite the inevitable weight loss comments and existential dread?)😜 Anyway, I’m trying to get back into the gainer shake groove…
