I bought a gym membership after realizing I could barely reach to wipe myself. I called a friend to be my gym partner immediately. I sat there quite embarrassed at myself.

So, today I realized I could barely reach to wipe myself after using the bathroom. I was so embarrassed that I sat on the toilet thinking wtf have I done to my body. I was applaud. I’ve been an alcoholic, depressed, Schizo-affective with bipolar. I’ve been neglecting myself in every way.

    Congrats on deciding you want to live longer. Just don’t get so big and buff that you end up having the same problem

    Bro you reaped what you sowed but there is hope and you should not think about giving up… Turn that sadness you got into motivation to hit the gym. Working out is singly one of the best ways to increase the happy hormones in your body and honestly way better than what any drug could do for you. Most guys in the gym that have been working out forever are usually more than happy to give you tips or help your routine, at least I know I am. I would start by giving yourself small goals to hit in the gym and gradually work your fat us up lol. Good luck.

    the first step is recognizing the problem, the second is doing something about it, look you are on step 2 already!!!
