How to not feel bad when I don't go the gym or exercise
I am a self confessed exercise addict, when I was in my early years of high school I was really fat and worked hard to lose weight and all through my adult life I have always made sure I exercise. I exercise 7 days a week whether that be going to the gym, going for a run or swimming.
Even when I feel ill I force myself to do something as I fear missing one day will make me gain weight.
Fast forward to the current day and my girlfriend has started a new job which includes her working all day on either a Saturday or a Sunday. Due to our current circumstances, her working all day one weekend day means I can't exercise at all on one of those days. I can however still exercise as normal 6 days a week.
My girlfriend has said I should use that one day as a chance to relax and let my body recover etc and whilst I understand where she is coming from, at the back of my mind I still feel bad and guilty for missing just one day and fear missing that one day will make me put on weight.
How do I get out of this mindset?

It's important to realize that rest is just as vital to your progress. Missing one day won’t reverse your hard work—it can actually help your body recover and grow stronger. As for your girlfriend's advice, she’s right: rest days are essential. If you’re concerned about your weight or fitness progress, try to Buy Mounjaro Online , which might support your health goals.
