Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I was a scrawny kid until i started doing some exercising. I remember my guitar teacher making me do push-ups for any mistakes I made during the lesson, and then I started doing them by myself. Not long after, i started having an appetite in the morning, and suddenly, breakfast started to be a thing for me. The appetite amplified even more when I started with the gym.
All in all, try to find a sport you like and just exercise a little. Im sure you will feel a spike in your appetite very, very fast
Do you think cardio is a good place to start, or should I start with weight training instead? I must admit that I'm very sedentary, which is definitely part of the problem. I was thinking cardio might be good for my leg strength, since I broke it a few years back. Someone above mentioned strength training for bone health, though.
Both are great, but take it slow and easy at first. If you want to start running, try walking first and slowly build up from there
The key is consistency, and baby steps. Be kind to yourself
Cardio is a great place to start! Just do whatever feels easier for you at the moment, the goal is is to get a foot in the door regarding exercise. If you want leg strength then gym beats everything else, but try to see what's easier/more fun at first 👊
