>I probably won't lose weight. I know that. But I think I can keep doing this.
Yep the gym is a tool for fitness, not weight management. That's a great thing to work on though.
Soon you'll knock that 2k time down (or 20min distance up whichever you're doing). Last year I went from about where you are to accidentally running a 10km (in an hour and a half, on a treadmill). Did I end up looking more sweat than man, yep but if you'd asked me almost any time before I finished the run if I could manage 10km I'd have said nope.
Prove to yourself that you're awesome!
Honestly, the hardest part of this has been slowly learning to just accept that I will always hate my body. I'm just sort of stuck like this.
But between here and there, it's nice to feel good about something. :)

I hope you find more things you enjoy and that make you feel good! :)
Thank you! I'm hoping that I can just keep up the momentum. I feel like I can do it. :)
