Hello! My name is Samantha and I just joined this site a few minutes ago! I've been apart of two separate gyms, the second being Snap which I joined a few days ago... I had my fitness assessment yesterday and was shocked on how out of shape I really was and how much weight I have gained in the recent years. Sitting here typing this my body is aching and sore. I've wanted to be a part of a gym for a long time, and in fact I had joined a different gym last year. I worked out here and there, but didn't feel like I was getting any results.
I have always had a poor image of myself, for as long as I could remember. I would stare at myself in the mirror and cry because I didn't like the person who was looking back at me. My weight, my attitude and over all lifestyle as not only affected me, but as affected my relationship with my boyfriend. It's hard for me to be physical with him because I'm embarrassed and ashamed of how I look even when he constantly reminds me that I'm not fat.
I want to lose weight. I want to be the girl that isn't afraid to wear shorts or a bathing suit in the summer. I want to be the girl who thinks she's beautiful inside and out. I want to feel pretty, healthy and be positive. I've taken the first few steps toward making my lifestyle change, but it's hard. Especially when I sometimes feel like I have no one to talk to. I don't know anyone else who goes to the gym or is going through the same thing as me... So, I'm hoping to find some friends on here that maybe I could talk to. I need a workout buddy, a nutrition buddy... I just need a buddy.
So, yeah. My name is Samantha and I'm here to become a better positive, healthy, beautiful person. I'm glad I found this site because from taking a look at some of the threads, everyone is very supportive and positive about each other. And I'm in desperate need of some positivity.
Hello! Breaking out of my shell...
