Everybody told me not to be peer pressured to do drugs, which happened 0 times, but nobody prepared me for the peer pressure to go to a weightlifting meet

I fear it’s too late to run away now and never touch a barbell again

My goal was to have a valid snatch and a valid C&J. The amount I lift is ridiculous. I can’t stress how much i Am Not Any Good at this, how little i lift compared to how much i weigh. So like, my goal was to go there and show myself that i may not be any good, but at least i know what i’m doing

Two valid lifts both for snatch and C&J was good

I spent the last week crying but at least all that lead to a mediocre result instead of no result

Which seems a very sad thing to say, but it’s really not

Sometimes it’s ok to just do the thing

Me watching gundam zeta:

CW usual body issues shit

so an unintended consequence of me going to that WL meet was that I had to step on a scale and now I can say goodbye to going through the next week unbothered by anything that goes through my mouth

I feel disgusting as usual. I spent the last 15 years of my life trying to lose weight and collecting failures
