How is encouraging people to be fit toxic masculinity

Excellent tips- especially how would you speak to your best friend about this? It’s so easy to be overall harsh to ourselves. Thanks for putting this together

My friend is in a wheel chair and mostly unable to use his body.

He contributed to medical technology that saved the lives of hundreds thousands of children

He mentors and coaches at risk youth in his communit.

He visits homeless, and teaches.

He codes amazingly and makes more than most people here.

I've got another buddy whose a gym bro, we ain't friends no more because he sexuslly assaulted one of our female friends.

Getting jacked and looking good doesn't automatically make you anything.

Yeah, my stepmom negotiated those extra two weeks for me. Really gonna help

And you know what’s great? It’s only 48 days. That’s a month and a half. Piece of cake.

Thank you! I just gotta keep my head on straight.

Listen to your body. I don’t know enough about your medical issue but your doctor is the best person to ask.

Forget the push-ups though. Try low impact like swimming, yoga, walking.

OP you got this.

Fix your meds and do your shifts. That’s all you gotta do.

If you are struggling with getting to appointments look up the posts here on tricks and tips to get up and out. You got this/

Thank you so much. Growing pains right now are very real and very difficult to get past. But everyone who I know is supporting me (even the hard asses in my life) gives me a little hope.

You guys are so helpful and kind. I actually just went and got a little notebook that can fit in my pocket so I can do this quite literally everywhere I go.

Sometimes when things seems disastrous, we are catapulted into new seasons of life. Maybe you are in the process of making huge progress in your life, despite how painful growth can feel. Rooting for you.

I’ve used an idea similar to this. It also lets me get all the clutter I stress about internally onto a paper so I can “free up” that space to not ruminate. Make a checklist of EVERYTHING you need to do, even “Call to make an appointment” because the simple task of checking it off will make you feel like you’re accomplishing things. Good luck!

Your brain recognizes the you of today as different from that the you of tomorrow.

It always assumes the tomorrow you feels no pain and has unlimited willpower.

The brains weird.

Toxic masculinity much

I know !!! I was there, I took a year off to come back strong !

Accurate, I know this is their way of supporting me right now but holy fuck I’m scared

Sometimes a kick in the ass is a step forward.

Holy shit, thank you so much. I’m going to start using this today. Thank you!

Wasn’t he gay?

For work, I write down everything I want to do each day and then check off the things I actually did. Keeping tasks bite-sized, like an hour or less, increases the chance atask can be completed. Finally, when its time for your parents to decide your fate, you can share the notebook, so that even if you didn't reach all of their demands, you can demonstrate you now are at least organized and moving in the right direction.

That dedicated their whole life to simply fitness. For most people, that simply isn't feasible considering our goals.
