Especially If You Are Overweight

I don’t write this to shit on gyms, they serve their purpose. but we don’t need them.

Nor do I write this to shit on or shame people that are overweight. That’s the one thing I don’t want, because well I’m one of you. I know the struggle, I know how hard it is.

I’m fed up with the excuses I gave myself over the years.

I’m going to be selfish here. I am writing this for my future self, so I can look back at it and see how far I’ve come.

If it helps anyone else along the way, I’m happy.

I am fat and I’ll add unfit too for good measure. Sugarcoating it won’t help.

If you are reading this, there’s a good chance you are too.

We established that I am fat and unfit, you are probably too and that we don’t need a gym.

Why you ask?

I’ve been in and out of gyms in the last decade more often than I can count. For the money I left there I could’ve built my own gym floor at home. True story.
