It's been 3.5 weeks since my HT, and I can firmly say that the whole not exercising thing is killing me. I'm not 100% sure why, because there have certainly been times that I chose not to exercise for that duration, but I suppose I had other outlets.
How did you others cope with it? No exercising and no dating is driving me insane. I met a pretty cool girl at a party last night while wearing a hat, but didn't ask for her number. I just feel like it's messed up to expect anyone to start dating a dude during this ugly ass phase of the HT process--like it's disrespectful to the girl (unless you have some extreme, amazing connection). Today I feel like I'm going insane, I just want to scream or go kayaking or do SOMETHING extreme because of the cooped up feeling I've got. For the first few weeks I was coping by just eating absolute junk food constantly (cookie dough, ice cream treats), but that's worn old and lost all appeal to me now. I also started drinking on a nightly basis, which is not normal for me.
Unfortunately, for other reasons, I'll have to go at least TWO MORE WEEKS before getting any physical exercise. The thought of which is absolutely daunting.
