If you’re able to you should try working out. It increases your appetite. I went from ~18 bmi to ~23 after I started weight lifting and look a lot healthier now. It also took care of a lot of the random aches and pains I had.
Yeah I really need to. I spent a year trying to keep some working out routine. It’s so easy to slip and forget about it.
I usually wake up and like wtf I had this healthy routine everything was nice but then some activity/project/idea absorbed me 24/7 for few days and it just evaporated like it never existed. Whether it was learning German, blender or drawing or suddenly writing scifi or warhammer painting or music making or playing guitar or physics learning etc… it is always few days of being utterly lost in that thing
There’s no constant things ever for me but just a repeated cycle of relearning the same thing again and again. I keep enormous collection of tabs on my… developments but forget to come back to them too. I hope they stay somewhere in my subconsciousness
I found having to actually go to the gym was a huge hurdle for me so I bought a 200lb set of adjustable dumbbells and a foldable weight bench for at home. It’s nice because if I get lost in something and forget to work out until later I can still do something on the spot. If I had room I’d buy a full weight set but I’d need a house for that. If you don’t want to spend money or don’t have space there’s also a lot of bodyweight stuff you can do at home.
I started off with a routine I got online. I thought it was off the fitness Reddit but I can’t find it now. This one is fairly close to what I do when I’m just maintaining- https://old.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/2e79y4/dumbbell_ppl_proposed_alternative_to_dumbbell/. As I’ve progressed I’ve adjusted different things to mix things up or to focus on particular muscles. You can find a lot of videos on youtube that show you how to do different exercises, but make sure to get more than one opinion on things before you take just one persons word for something. There is a lot of bad info floating around out there.
The dumbell set was from the brand Yes4all I got off Amazon, at the time they were a good price but I couldn’t say now after Covid made everything more expensive. Also pick up some gloves. Your hands will thank you.

Doesn’t matter if you forgot to work out for a bit. The trick is to just start again when you realise you’ve stopped.
I need to pin that comment somewhere and remember it, thanks
Try taking up climbing, if you can meet friends that way, you’ll have them to keep you accountable. Also it’s way more fun than being at a normal gym.

Could you provide more info? Any specific workout routine?

I reasonate with this. Giving up smoking also helped my appetite.
Apparently Lemmy uses ~ as a markup symbol, so by sure to escape it by putting a slash in front like this ~!
Fucking hell I can’t get it to format right…

Something goes wonky if you have two in one paragraph…
That’s strange what is it doing? My comment looks normal to me.
~Strikethrough~
StrikethroughYeah but a pair of single tildes makes for subscript for some reason.
Huh, TIL. That doesn’t appear to be implemented in the mobile app I use.
