I (19f) have been depressed for quite a while now, and i have a lot of things on my plate. And i realised a good while ago that i gained a lot of weight and I felt like I completely lost myself. And to get some sort of routine into my life besides from just working part time, studying and dealing with stuff. I started going to the gym about 8 months ago I guess and I try to stick to it just to get some activity in. I wanted to lose weight and feel like myself. Some days I have no motivation at all and im too tired. And some days I push myself to go and its worked, ive lost around 7-8 kgs (15 to 17 lbs for you non-metric users) so far and im pretty happy about it. I used to do weights and everything in the starting and I tried to keep at it but I then I picked up extra shifts at work, and things at home only went from bad to worse so I kind of lost interest in stuff and I just started doing incline walking. Anything to just keep moving and not gain back the weight, ive only just started feeling like myself again. But now, one of my friends, a guy from college, a nice guy, really. He recently joined the same gym that I go to and we run into eachother occasionally and every time he says "oh what are you doing? Walking again?" He jokes about me coming to the gym just to walk and I get it i guess but come on, its so annoying. He also keeps saying that its not even a work out and that Im wasting my gym membership. Jokingly ofcourse. And then starts going on about how its a discipline thing and that I need to have some of that and that its irresponsible that i come to the gym only to walk??? What is this guy saying bro what?? I usually just laugh it off and try my best to avoid him. Im just trying my best man. And sometimes I just go to the gym to get my mind off of things and also when I do occasionally pick up weights or do machines, he comes up to me and starts with the "you can go heavier" like i get that you're coming from a good place but can you not?? In the middle of my set, as well. Guys am I wrong?? Pls lmk
