I always get intimidated to start working out. It makes me so nervous to start working out. I feel like people are going to be like, “Oh cute, the fat girl is working out. She’s probably going to go to McDonald’s afterwards. Doesn’t she know she’s not worthy to be here?”
I feel like everyone is staring at me. I feel like everyone is judging me. I feel like I should run and hide in my house and never leave. Though what is that going to solve? Nothing. So I put my shoes on and I go. It takes me about a week to feel comfortable working out.
Then comes the soreness. That amazing feeling of soreness in my muscles proving that I did something. I made an effort to make my body better. That soreness reminds me every time I sit down to eat to make a healthier choice. It’s a feeling I start to crave. A feeling I start to look forward to that validates my effort.
