I Did It!!!
 

So i have a weird hang up. i dont like walking near traffic because i dont want anybody looking at me. i know how weird is that!

but tonight i did it. i went for a 5km walk, around town!

WOOOOO!! :carrot::cheer2::hug:

YAY !!!!!!

I know EXACTLY how you feel ! I walk with my Hubbs 2 miles every day and I hate, hate, hate walking next to traffic, so I will avoid it by all costs. We cut through the desert ;)


Congrats :)

That moment put you several steps closer to your goal
Way to go!!:flow1:

:woohoo:
Totally understand! But you did it and it's a big leap to a new healthy you.

It's not weird at all, I feel the same, but I force myself to go... I feel also the same if I haven't been to the gym in a while...

:bravo: on pushing through your hangup and going for a walk!!!

thank you everyone! i am going to do it again on my next night off, and try walking during my day job at lunch!

Oh I have often felt the same way, especially at the track when there's little old ladies whizzing by me. It's so embarrassing and I can't help but think that the people behind me are looking at my squishy butt and my jiggly thighs.

But you know what helps? I'm trying to think of myself as an inspiration to others. Maybe somebody who's heavier than me can look and say "hey, she ain't thin and if she can do it then maybe I can." Or maybe even somebody who's skinny and not exercising might say "well if SHE's out here busting her butt then maybe I should too." I know it's self indulgent to think of myself as an inspiration but hey, it gets me out the door.
