When I was working out it helped with my depression to an extent. I soon realized the issue wasn’t with my weight though because no matter how small I got I still saw this big girl in the mirror. I definitely miss the dopamine rush and discipline though.

got sentenced to a year in jail. I'd work out until I'd crash out and sleep, every...single... day... its kept me in shape for the rest of my life. learned alot of lessons at 18yrs old in jail. actually gave me some structure.

My girl took a picture of my dad, my brother and I one day. I was turning into him. Weight, habits, temperment……I couldn’t let me do that to myself or the people around me.

Sobriety. It helps with insomnia. Plus I was just in horrible shape.

Spent my whole life being told I look just like my grandfather whom I never got to meet. Heard a story about him picking up the back end of a car in a fight and realized I’m in that same gene pool.

I started lifting again in earnest a couple years ago. I'm in my late 40s, and the number of years I have left where I can get stronger is counting down. I want to see how strong I can get with the time I have left. If it makes me look good for my wife then great, but I care more about being strong then looking strong

I can’t sit still. If I stay still, I think. And then thinking leads to spiraling. So I stay busy. I’m aware it’s not a good coping mechanism. But 4 years free from cigarettes. 2 years free from alcohol. Working out and staying busy are pretty good.

I've always liked working out since I was young but I'm an alcoholic that quit 11 and a half years ago and lifting helped me a ton!

SAd as a kid. So I don’t feel safe in my own body. I don’t feel like I own my body. Working out and moving my body helps me feel like I control it again.

Staying at home was too depressing after I was rejected by the first person I ever truly loved. The gym gives me something to do until I can go home and go to bed.
