    helens78: [Top panel: Cartoon woman lifting her arms and making a sad face.  Caption: I just started working out.  I used to be pretty strong, but now I’m really weak.  People are excited for me.  “You’re going to lose so much weight!” Bottom panel: Cartoon woman triumphantly lifting unconscious bear four times her size over her head.  Caption: SCREW WEIGHT LOSS - I want to be able to BENCHPRESS A BEAR.] I usually say Jeep, but that bottom panel is 100% my attitude toward exercise.  ^_^  Fun fact: I was a super heavyweight lifter in high school. Super heavyweight: not the greatest adjective to apply to a 17 year old girl, jsyk. I regularly came last, because 1) I never got good at bench press 2) I was about ten pounds over the line between heavyweight and super heavyweight, so I REGULARLY lifted against girls who outweighed me by 100+ pounds. But, y’know. It was still an experience. And I was the very first female super heavyweight competitive lifter from my high school, and in the first female lifting competition in my state. And yeah. It felt a lot like this.
