So... Yeah, I (20F) had been going to the gym for about two months now, and so far it's been good. I genuinely enjoy going to the gym because it means that I get to get out my house during week days and take my mind out of college stuff, my sister comes with me from time to time which is nice as I get to spend time with her alone.

Going had made me feel good, it's been a nice change and a good adition to my routine and it also had made me feel better physically as i see my body getting better. I know that big changes won't come just yet but I'm getting more tonned and friends and bf had told me that I look better... and that's part of my problem.

I have a history of self-image issues and maybe EDs (But since I don't have a proper diagnosis let's just say that my relationship with food it's pretty unhealthy).

I've always been skinny and I try to keep my body that way. I don't really eat much on a normal basis and when I do eat more than I usually do I tend to skip a meal or two to compensate. The thing is that since I started going to the gym, this behavior has intensified as when I come back I'm more hungry, therefore I eat more so I skip more meals/eat way less.

I'm scared of gaining weight because of eating more, but since I'm doing exercise and eating less I feel more tired during the day, sleep bad and I'm more fixated in my body image than I've ever been.

Just wanted to share this somewhere because it's getting annoying and I'm getting tired.

I like going to the gym but I think it's not good for my mental health
