Scared to death!

Well maybe not quite THAT scared but I really am nervous.. what are people gonna think when they see an obese me wobbling and jogging down the street.. I'm scared of ridicule.

I really AM going to do this but perhaps I need to get a map and sort out somewhere I can run unnoticed!

Am I the only one with these worries?

Good luck to all

    You shouldn't worry about what other people think! It's about you and getting healthy :)

    Anytime I see somebody running outside, no matter what they look like, I always think "Wow, that's awesome. I should be doing that!"

    Forget about what people may think. You should feel proud for taking intiative to get healthy and build strength.

    To be honest, I hate to run and my friends sometimes make fun by imitating how I run on the road by hardly moving the legs forward to run. Whatever they say is true and tries to correct my mistakes. I take their fun part light but want to break the ice to show I can also run like them at some point. Likewise some day the people in your place WILL look at you proudly to see what difference you have made to yourself.

    I do the same thing! I always think, "Way to go!"

    Amen!! People are going to think, assume, judge...etc, no matter what you think you look like while running. You are taking the first step to a healthier you and that is all that should matter during those few moments while you out there!
