Why the gym is awesome

When I first started going to the gym, a few years before I even considered WLS, I was a bit scared and intimidated.  I even go to a little locally owned place where everyone is super friendly, but it was still a bit scary being super morbidly obese and exercising in front of people.  But I persevered and I'm glad that I did. Because now, I've got this group of gym acquaintances who are cheering me on and that's super cool.  :D  

This morning I went to the gym and the boot campers were warming up on the treadmills.  I got on the empty one and the woman next to me said, "You look gorgeous!"  And I said, "Thank you!  I've still got a ways to go, but I'm getting there."  And she said, "You're there, girl!"  

I've been having a rough time of things right now, as I posted the other day, so this TOTALLY made my day.  :D  I had my best run on the treadmill yet since I was so happy :D

Awesome!! I am in a new city so just getting to know the people at my gym- but I love when they all get to you and you look forward to seeing people.

I'm glad today was a good day for you. :)

I miss the gym! Since everything happen with my Dad I can only go on Saturdays!! Do it for those wh can't and I know you do look gorgeous!! ;)

I love going to the gym!! It makes me feel great!! 👍 

im glad going to the gym made you happy. It's always nice to be complimented when you've worked so hard. :)

Super awesome :)

 

I am pretty introverted at the gym.  Although today my yoga instructor told me to go home and take a nap-- that I'd earned it.  I was in his class last night and today and he killed us.
