Ay.
Within the next three days my mother and I are undoubtedly joining a gym to get in shape! Yay! I'm excited as, I do quote the Disney movie 'Cars', "A tornado in a trailer park." but... I'm scared. When I think 'gym' I think of beautiful perfect people in an unshakable world, with perfect people looking down on me for being out-of-shape, and perfect people telling me exactly what to do, and being frustrated and judgemental when I don't do it right. I'm the paranoid type that feels all eyes are always on me, and I'm just scared for some reason... Can anyone help me get over this unfounded fear? Of course there's always the typical, "What's it matter what others think?! you're there for yourself!" But that phrase is easier said than put into action. Help peeze? ![]() ![]() I have the voices of a million encouragements driving me, but the shyness is my problem. |

Aw, don't be afraid. If there were any of these, as you say "perfect people" at your gym, they wouldn't look down on you. If you were out and about with your french fries, then they would! Atleast that's what I'm like. I'd like to see all those slobs on a diet and going to a gym 3 days a week!!
(I am not saying that you are.) Just makes me so angry. Just remember, nobodies perfect. People who look up to me; if they had any idea. MY figure isn't perfect. I suffer from anorexia which branches out to all kinds of issues. I'm so far from perfect. Keep in mind that people who look good are probably mentally screwed up anyway! |
