Guys, but sweat is making me not want to work out in the gym or go outside for a jog. I have some gym equipment and use it everyday, but the butt sweat from cycling with the turbo trainer (my main workout) is driving me nuts.
5'8 153lbs F 22
I'm losing weight, diet is much better than it was but at the moment going to Narcotics Anonymous (getting my 2 month tag next week) every day and staying sober is taking priority over my evening routine for my core, and I am finding myself turn to food a bit more for comfort. I see it that staying clean and working harder on my workout is more important than making sure everything I put in my mouth is healthy. I'm sure I'll correct my diet soon, I just need something to fall back on as an escape when I need to, where as before I would have turned to drink & drugs. I need to do my cycling as it helps me deal with my anger I am feeling lately since I've been clean and actually acknowledging my feelings and mistakes.
The sweat is bad, I've always been a sweaty person (even before I gained the weight) but never like this. I know that some will stop as I lose more weight, but in the mean time I need some help.
It's stressing me out and making me want to skip some workouts, something that really isn't an option if I'm going to succeed in my recovery and fully better my life.
Any advice as to how to stop this or make it less? Any and all advice is welcome.

Maybe try a hot yoga class? Everyone sweats like a pig during hot yoga, and you won't stand out at all. It might also help you feel a bit more centered while you get everything sorted out.
Also,most people at the gym are too busy focusing on their own workouts and working up a sweat themselves to care how sweaty another person is. Anyone who gives a crap that someone else is getting sweaty at the gym needs to reevaluate their workout habits.

I was considering doing some hot yoga, a friend of mine teaches a class, not sure about the price though, but maybe with some more progress in my life I might get some financial support from my family for positive activities like yoga
