Comments for Triumphs & Trials http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/cshawzye The Ups and Downs of my Fresh Start Sat, 22 Nov 2008 03:05:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 Comment on Fears by beachmomma http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/cshawzye/2008/07/09/fears/#comment-6 beachmomma Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:23:19 +0000 http://3fatchicks.com/diet-blogs/cshawzye/2008/07/09/fears/#comment-6 Congratulations on your fresh start! And for recognizing your fears. I remember when I first joined a gym. Luckily we had a womens only section or I might not have made it very long. But, before I knew it, I was out in the main gym on that torture device they call an arc trainer and I found that I was going longer than most people. It built up my confidence. After I quit going to the gym when the weather got nice, I started going to the park. This was hard for me because you never know who you are going to see. I started walking. Just walking. then I graduated to walking and jogging. I still have days where I don't want to go, sometimes a week. but you have to be kind to yourself. Remember to congratulate yourself for what you are doing and give yourself that pep talk that you would give your best friend!

Everything you just wrote I have felt as well. Being uncomfortable at the gym because people are watching and I'm doing it wrong so who knows what they are saying, that has kept me from going, up until now. They were all there at one time, they all didn't know how to do the machines or how to do the manuevers, they've all been in your shoes before. A few suggestions would be to find an all woman's gym, if you can a 24 hour gym then you can go whenever you want or can. Find a friend that will go with you that your comfortable with. Look at some other people's posts around here, perhaps some will inspire you. Just remember that yes it is a daily struggle so don't look at ahead at the next day or your overall goal it will appear too overwhelming. Just look at today. Don't give up! You are not alone!!!
