Fat people in the gym

The lesson to be learnt from all of the above is that some people enjoy the encouragement/comments and some people don't.

I try to take any comments I receive as positively as possible because in the end, we can't control our surroundings but we can control our reactions.

Why did you do this

I don't get why you would cheer someone of a larger size on for some sort of exercise or even being in the gym. They're there for their reason. I would be pissed off if someone said to me good on you for getting into a gym. Phrase me for my form, my fitness but not because I'm bigger and I'm in a gym. And I've actually told a trainer his comment was wank. He didnt mean it like that he says...um ok use more words.

But regardless of size if you don't rack your weights when you're finished or you dont wipe down your station after use i will say something to you.

I like people big or small, fat or thin who commit and you see it in them.

I realize this is an old string, but I was just thinking about this at the gym this morning. I started going to the gym in my building a couple weeks ago and I am the only fat person that have seen there. I was wondering what people think when they see me there. Do they roll their eyes behind my back? Do they think I’m invading their space? I’m not going to stop going in any case, I was just wondering.
I’m glad I found this string. It definitely makes me feel more encouraged
