OK...I've been going to the gym in the morning and lifting, then hiding in the cardio room in the evening. But I have changed my mind. I'm going to the gym tonight for the first time in 2 years and I'm going to lift in the weight area during the busy time.

I've been avoiding the weight area in the evening because my ex-husband along with his girlfriend that he cheated with are there in the evening. I'm going tonight and I'm going to be there in front of them. I am no longer going to hide in the cardio room. I have nothing to be ashamed of...they are the ones that should be ashamed, so why have I been hiding and avoiding???

I'm going to be strong and "TAKE IT BACK".

Wish me luck, I'm so nervous.

    Thanks, I've lost 60 pounds since the divorce so I'm feeling pretty good.

    So here's the update:
    I went into the gym and went into the free weight area, I know they are there because I saw my ex's truck in the parking lot. Thank goodness a couple of girlfriends were there too, so they worked out with me and I just ignored those two ****ing cheaters. I know that they were watching me, I could feel it, but I just ignored it and went about my business like they were invisible.

    Afterwards, one of my friend's husband came up to me and said he was watching me the whole time and was proud of me. He said he and his friends would have had my back if they would have approached me.

    I feel proud that I did it, and feel so much better about myself. It was a very hard thing to do, but I'm not hiding anymore.

    Thanks to all my friends here at MFP for all your support, you guys help me to be stronger. I just love all of you. :heart: Thank you.
