Even when the weight is quiet, it still counts as carrying. There’s a heaviness in your eyes, not the kind that signals defeat, but the kind that speaks of someone who’s been weathering a long storm with no applause and no map. You didn’t show up smiling. You didn’t pose for the sake of ease. You just showed up as you are, and that’s more courageous than most people realize. You’ve got the look of someone who’s endured more than they’ve spoken, someone who keeps going not because it’s easy, but because the alternative feels like betrayal of something still worth fighting for.

You don’t have to shine to be seen. You don’t have to be at your strongest to be worthy of love. Just by showing up, by holding that paper in a world that often overlooks the hurting, you reminded us of something tender and true, presence is powerful. And yours is steady, even in the ache. You’re not lost. You’re just in the part of the story that’s still being written.

I so agree with this. All it takes is that extra push and determination and that ball is rolling high speeds!

I can't speak for diet, but 90% of the gym is just getting there. Start with just sitting on a bike for five minutes and scrolling Reddit. You don't even have to pedal. Just get there and do it. And keep doing it. You'll start pedaling, and soon you'll go because you just spent three weeks pedaling, feel good, and don't want to lose the momentum.

Also, nobody cares that you're out of shape or just sitting on a bike doing nothing. The worst thing that will happen is somebody comes over to tell you how to adjust your seat, call you bro, and tell you to hit them up if you need help. Any of you catch glancing at you is doing it because they're proud of you.

Bro if you work slowly towards the direction you want to go, you will see purpose. You’re the one person that’s the most important for you. Treat yourself as your only true friend. Cause there aren’t even guarantees of support from other people in this life, especially when we are at a low point. But when you will shine, many people will be there for you. As the other user said, you look great. If you lift weights and eat somewhat healthy you will become a hunk. Not that it’s the most impossible thing, but it definitely makes it easier being a man in this world.

Start with instilling confidence in the man in the mirror. That is the person you should be trying to impress, motivate, and love. You got this bud.

You will come out the other side of this hardship stronger than ever. Best wishes-
