Wade Wrote:So, I have an anecdote about my day:
My school has a great gym. Really expensive looking, beautiful... a pool, ping pong tables, and inside track, etc. And I, being a student, get to use it for free (well, not completely free. My membership fee is tied into tuition), but I never have in the two years I've been here. I tried once, but I got intimidated by all the muscley frat boys that live there. I've been exercising quite a bit on my own, but I spend so much time on campus, it's a shame I don't use the facilities.
But today I decided to go for it. I'm very self conscious about my weight (haven't worn a t-shirt in public since I was 11) and VERY self conscious about being caught exercising. I, like many people who spent their childhood overweight/obese, have accrued an impressive list of bad memories from high school gym class/locker room. Everyone always says "no one pays attention to anyone else at the gym!" After all, I'm not 15 anymore, so I decided to get over myself and just go.
After struggling through a near panic attack in the locker room while becoming very confused about how to get a damn locker open, I remembered I'm an adult, not a two year old, and decided not to throw a fit and storm out. I stuck it out, asked for help at the front desk, and got a locker. Then I went to the main floor (in a white T-Shirt!!!!) and found a nice secluded area with a treadmill and started my run.
Everything was going pretty smoothly. No one was laughing at me or making fun of me (an irrational fear, I know... I know) and no one was paying any attention to me whatsoever! Fantastic!
But it turned out, that the very hour I chose to be there was the very hour that some high school class decided it would be a good time to take a field trip and tour the gym. I panicked. And of course... the adult leader of the group decided to stop right in front of me and talk to the class about the gym.
So there I was, having avoided the gym or wearing a t-shirt for ten years because of embarrassing adolescent ridicule, on a treadmill in a t-shirt surrounded by fifteen year olds. And you know what????
... It wasn't that big a deal. I actually started laughing at the absurdity of the situation. I think I'll go again tomorrow. 
Mmmmm, mmmmm!!!!
Mr. Wade in tighty whities???? I would be on the treadmill runnin after you!!!!
LOL
I am happy you got over your fears. After all, a gym is where you are supposed to go to LOSE weight...right?
I find it funny that people think you are supposed to be "in perfect shape" BEFORE you start going to a gym!!! LMAO
And its those SAME people who clean their hotel rooms before the maid comes in!!!
LMAO

It's been nice and warm this week. Finally got to wear my short pants, instead of jeans.
I prefer wearing short pants to regular pants/jeans.
Hope it stays warm for a while....need to get my electric bill down to nothing.

I was like that at first.. I used to be really big a few years ago, I think it's
going almost going on 5-6 years now since I lost the weight. I started with biking
first and I was conscious about that too. Like, "People are gonna feel bad for the
bike cause some fat-ass is riding it.." Then I got over it, I rode my bike in the early
AM in around town and I gave hello's to the joggers and said good mornings, lol.
Then my bro got a Golds Gym pass and he brought me to the gym. At first it was
weird. I didn't like sweating in front of people and having to deal with changing
and the like, but again I just got over it and did it. My bro ended not going and
I ended up using his pass till I got one of my own and lost the weight.
Glad you got over it too! After awhile it won't even seem like it's a big deal
anymore.
