/r/gym is one of the worst subreddits out there: "I am embarrassed because sometimes I have to wear makeup to the gym. Are people judging me? F/25/323->132/2 years"

As with all /r/gym top posts then this includes a w*man and has been locked by the jannies.

I work in the beauty industry and go to the gym after I'm off of work. I have to wear a full face of makeup to work due to my profession. I have very sensitive skin and my face washes are prescription. I can not put any other skincare on my face. I can only use it 2x a day or I get dry skin and a rash, it's very harsh. I'm new to working out, I'm still embarrassed to be at the gym anyways because of body dysmorphia. I feel like I look like an idiot going in with full eyeliner/eyelashes etc. and although people say that other people don't look at you at the gym, we all know that isn't true. I've been going 5x a week but I'm really embarrassed and thinking of just going on weekends when I don't work but I want to go more than that. Do people actually care or is it in my head? I don't like record myself or anything, I wear my wedding ring, I keep my head down as much as possible and I do my workouts to the best of my ability. Please help me get over this so I don't stop going. Added photo of my weight loss journey for context as to why I'm so embarrassed/ what kind of makeup I wear. (Disclaimer I got a WLS in the past to become fertile, not all natural.) since this has photos I'm tagging progress just to be safe.

Rule 1 of /r/gym is:

However they never enforce that rule for women or s - see post on r/GYM saved by heroic for a recap of the time when me and @Tardish terrorised Reddit's fitness janny clique.

Anyway this post isn't that exciting, it's the usual shitty /r/mademesmile-style comments like "Happy cake day! This is the correct mindset. 💯" and "Frick the makeup, awesome journey! Hardcore".

I saw one random comment that stood out for excessive girlbossing:

Sis, I wear makeup to the gym 4x a week. Big ol' wing eyeliner et al. You have nothing to be embarrassed, worried or anxious about. I see several other women do it too. I honestly think people are not even thinking about it; they don't care because they're absorbed with their own selves, thoughts, & reasons for being there. If they do care, well those are their own weird feelings to deal with. You just keep minding your own. You're killin' it! 💪👑

Clicked their profile (/u/WolvesOnWeed) on a hunch and found exactly what I expected:
