I hate being 'the fat one'
One of my best friend (size 8) said 'oh I'm
So fat ' and I said if you're fat what the hell am I ? And she said 'oh you're just Courtney'
This was years ago, I know she didn't mean offence but it has stuck with me
I have been asked on many occasions when I'm due ?! One lady even said to me at work 'how long do you have left?' And I just said oh I finish at 3pm and she said 'no i meant the baby'...... Now surely if I was pregnant I would've said how many months I had left ' I lost my *kitten* and told her it was people like her that's the reason girls are sticking their heads down toilets and not eating!!!
Also , I am the fattest person at my gym. I love my gym and I've never had any weird looks or judgment but I just want to
Look like a gym bunny and feel like I belong there because I'm fit not fat
I think of all these things when I'm sweating my *kitten* off and out of breath I think ' my work out today will be my warm up soon!!!!

I think really bad things about myself and then remind myself that I'm working towards looking better.
I imagine running into exes, or old friend with my current bw and then my gw.
A guy at Bevmo asked if I was pregnant once and that killed me so I think about that.
Sometimes I just think about how soon these exercises wont kill me and I'll be able to plank and show off to people.
I think about the clothes I'll get to wear.
I also think about just feeling better and once I lose weight I'll be able to walk around without all the soreness in my feet.0 -

ETA I think I missed the point of this thread.
That was totally what happened to me the last time I ran on a medieval torture boredom device treadmill. My pace seriously suffered because I was holding in a fart and someone was right beside me.
I regularly use food/booze as a motivator. "You can go get a burrito after this!" is what I told myself while running today.
Oh wait, I have no shame about that though. Running makes me hungry as a bear. That burrito was delicious.
I download movies on my phone or tablet and watch a movie on the treadmill so I don't pay attention to the boring running haha

I'm with you on both of these. My other half's sister is a tiny red head and she attracts and laps up attention no end. It would be nice to not be on the outside looking in for a change.
When I started running training in March I was doing 3 minute jog/walk intervals. Now I'm either doing jog/sprint intervals or continuous 40 minute jogs

My mind goes back to high school track, where my coach would sit in the back of his pickup while his wife drove for pace as he tore pages out of a Playboy to motivate us to run faster.
...or any of the memories of having barrages of profanity coming from the dive motivators...
Pretty much my entire workout is me laughing to myself and those around me staring at me and ensuring their mobiles are in hand to dial 911.0 -
I was having a last minute get together with friends, and when I have people over I like to make sure that they have snacks. I was out longer than expected and running late and didn't have time to make anything so I decided to stop at the store and just get some tostito's and salsa to serve. While in the chip isle this older guy comes in and under his breath but loud enough for me to hear says "They're always in the chip isle". And then again at the register he commented about how women always want junk food and of coarse the store owner was a friend and he shut the guy up in a nice way.... Here's the kicker!!! The guy looked like he was 200 lbs heavier than me, his pants didn't even fit over his behind, exposing shredded underwear.... and it wasn't a fashion statement... He got bigger but his pants didn't. GRRRRRRR I can't imagine ever saying anything mean and degrading to anyone. For the life of me I can't figure out why someone would feel the need to do that. Oh well.... I'm getting healthier, he's probably got a pacer. Oh and he smelled of stale booze and cigarettes...so nice!!! That motivates me a bit, but it p*$$es me off too.0

Long story:
When I was in elementary school, I participated in a gifted program that required me to go to a different school one day a week. Well, that one day happened to coincide with me missing one of the twice-weekly gym classes, and the gym teacher took it as a personal offense. So on the one gym class a week that I WAS there, he'd torture me. And his nickname for me was "Rainbow" (the name of the gifted program). So he was constantly, "Come on, Rainbow, move it! Faster! Up that rope!" Blah blah blah.
I hated that man. Still do.
But now, when my running is slowing, and I'm eyeing that hill like I'd rather just stop at the McD's at the bottom of it, I hear his voice saying "Move your *kitten*, Rainbow!" And I think "Eff you, Mr. Crank!" And I run.0 -
Oh yeah and while working out I think of all the things I should have said.0

I think about how much of a babe my boyfriend will think I am at the beach (*something like, "damn, babe, your *kitten* looks slammin'" as i run onto the white sand, baywatch style* lmao) if I just keep running for a couple minutes more/pull through a few more reps/say no to sweet stuff.0

I ran into an ex about three years ago when I was at my heaviest. I hadn't seen him in many, many years. Until then I had always been slim, and was very slim when we were seeing each other. I was mortified that he saw me looking so heavy. I never want anyone else I know and might randomly bump into to go away thinking "it's a shame she gained all that weight."0

My dad looked at me at my brothers wedding and went "wow, you're gettin' a little more chubby, hey."0
-
I swear at myself...a lot. I also think about how my dad (deceased) would want me to keep going. Sometimes those things work. 0

I personally lift up my shirt and stare at my stomach from different angles for a few minutes. After feeling bad about myself, I remember the people who make fun of me about my weight and their faces when they see me next at my (hopefully) gw. I also think of how great it will be to not have to suck in to put new pants on or not have to order online because a store doesn't carry my size.0

"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die....(long silence while I get interested in the today show) jolt back into the moment..."O i feel pretty good"m a few minutes later "I'm gonna die, I;m gonna die" (long silence...) and so on.0

For some reason when I am on the treadmill, I think of what I will have for dinner. HIIT workouts I keep telling myself I am 50% done or whatever or tell myself I can make it 2 more rounds, all while cussing my trainer out in my head for coming up with the awful workout. If I am swimming, I think of absolutely nothing most of the time.0

I use to be hot and skinny but gaining weight after my two children now I am more motivated than ever before to be a milf. I know its vain but it's what keeps me working out so hard and eating right.0
-
I keep a printed, full page copy of my "before" picture in my workout sheets. When I start "not feeling it.", I flip to that page, then get back to work.0
-
I keep a picture of myself when I was thin in my wallet for inspiration. And what inspires me alot are haters...those who have been jealous about me losing weight. I think to myself, "Just keep bringing it, hater!"0
-
I lie to myself. I tell myself that at a certain lamp post or part of a song or step number I can stop running, and then I keep dragging it out for my entire run. Or I'll say "sing all the way through Yankee Doodle, count to ten, then you can stop running." And then... I don't.0

"I can have a beer at the end of this."

there is already a no judgment thread, we don't need another one…
to answer your question OP ..I focus on the lift that I am about to do and that is all. I actually enjoy lifting so I don't need to trick myself into doing it.
It may benefit you to find something you enjoy so that you don't have to pretend to like it…just my thoughts.
If you don't like the thread, don't post on it. Just my thoughts

It drives her crazy every time I start getting close to her size (I'm a chronic yo yo dieter). I want to finally be smaller than her. I'd never tell her that, or rub it in. It just gives me hope to believe someday I could give her my hands me down size 10's.
ME. TOO!!!!

I love my exercise routine. Love it. Although lunges are my mortal enemy lol. Still, imagining myself slimmer while suffering through the lunges helps

I've had a lot of ups and downs with my weight and when I start feeling discouraged about how much weight I've lost I go to the store and look at one pound packages of ground beef. It makes me feel better. So far I've lost ten pounds, but ten pounds of hamburger is a lot! I guess it could also work the opposite way. If I gained ten pounds I could just imagine stuffing ten packs of meat up under my shirt and maybe then I would maybe hit the gym a little harder. I understand that this sounds crazy.0

It doesn't sound crazy. I think about that when I go bowling. Do I really want two of my bowling balls attached to me again? 0 -
