The demotivation of shame

deejaycyphergetfitpod@gmail.com (DeejayKnight and Cypheroftyr) — Mon, 6 Apr 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Deejay: Fuck shame.

Shame keeps you from moving.
I think it comes from “polite society” and low key people not wanting to see you doing better than them so you get that embedded in your subconscious. Gotta “shrink” yourself to not buck the trend.

Fuck that, you’re worth taking up space.

Cypher:

See also FUCK SHAME
There’s no winning when you try to shame someone for doing the things we rail at over weight folks to DO. Then complain when they go to the gym.
It’s a demotivator

Protein was the friends we made along the way

WHY IS EVERYTHING FULL OF PROTEIN??!!

Deejay: WHY IS THERE SO LITTLE PROTEIN IN EVERYTHING!

Having to find ways to make sure I’m eating enough meats & protein is odd.
Need to buy protein powder & start adding it to my oatmeal.
I need to invest in Fairlife milk so I can start eating homemade healthy ice cream while paying myself in the process lol.

Cypher:

This labeling everything with PROTEIN! is getting out of hand though.
Calling things high protein or claiming they are x% of your daily protein feels like a marketing ploy versus actual useful amounts of protein you need
Protein Pop Tarts, discuss.

Shoutout to ChaosBria for the title idea!

Accepting that you're now a gym baddie

Gettin back to the gym. Let’s talk about how we’ve dealt with setting foot back in the iron temple after years away.

Deejay:

Texted to Cypher: “You miss the gym. That’s beyond ‘I’m trying to be a beast’ energy. You’re already there, you just haven’t fully admitted it to yourself yet”
Need to start properly lifting iron again. Thus far, this leg of the journey has been cardio centric.

Cypher:

Texted to Deejay: whoooo am I turning into? See also missing the gym is weird for me.
Been focused on weight lifting and full body + abs class.
Realization that people in the gym are there doing their own thing and are not giving a fuck about what you’re up to

Noting The Difference

deejaycyphergetfitpod@gmail.com (cypheroftyr, DeejayKnight) — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 16:00:00 +0000

Noting the Differences: Once you put in the work and see it for yourself. It gets fuckin weird, let’s talk about it.

Deejay:

The wardrobe change is real. Been popping tags in thrift shops & Ross/TJ Maxx for REAL.
Small body changes I keep finding.
- Seeing what “feel” like sunken cheeks is really just my face without the extra weight.
- The ‘V’ has returned to my waistline, making me feel like a superhero, but also low key telling me how much I’d forgotten myself & let myself go.

Cypher:

Also the wardrobe change here. Going from a 3XL to a L in most clothes has been weird, and EXPENSIVE.
Having a jawline again is WEIRD
Losing a third of my body weight and the noticeable difference in how I feel, the size and shape.
Feeling (some) muscle after constant gym work is… odd.

The first step is the hardest

Who we are, why we’re doing this podcast, and what we’re doing on our journeys

Deejay:

The Catalyst for Change: Single life & being unhappy with the me in the mirror.
The Process: Find a time in the day that would work for regular movement & act on it.
- KEEP DOING THAT SHIT

Cypher:

Medical issues required a radical change of diet and habits. Also medications caused medical weight loss as an unintended side effect.
Found a class that I liked at my local gym plus weight loss meant I could do more exercise
Have now turned into someone who misses going to the gym when I am not there for a few days.
