Dear Felix,

i think there is a pair of dumbbell weights in my house… although it’s not heavy i guess i can try to use it for my exercise.

You can start with smaller weights (the ones you have at home), but if they are too light, buy another, heavier pair.

As for your teeth, you can inquire how long the teeth straightening process will last, i.e. how long you would have to wear braces. Also, if you’d be able to do it, considering your swallowing problem. Braces wouldn’t be a physical obstacle, people can eat normally with them as far as I know, but maybe psychologically for you it may be a problem.

Does it mean i shouldn’t analyze too much on it? Like i should just take it easy?

Yes, definitely, try to take it easy and live in the moment, without jumping in your mind all over the place, creating all those scenarios and potential obstacles in your head. Try to focus on the here and now, and what you can do today to improve yourself.
