    I have suffered all my life from this:

    "Scopophobia, scoptophobia, or ophthalmophobia is an anxiety disorder characterized by a morbid fear of being seen or stared at by others. Scopophobia can also be associated with a pathological fear of drawing attention to oneself."

    I have wanted to go out and walk around my nice neighborhood for years now, but no matter how much I try to psych myself up to do it, I just can't go out the door.

    Today I finally conquered that fear and went for a 40 minute walk around my neighborhood!!

    It was really nice and not too scary at all. Except for when I saw people. :#:) I live in a beautiful neighborhood, and you see so much more walking rather than driving.

    This is a bigger accomplishment for me than losing weight. But I do have to say that it is the weight loss that helped me do this. I feel so much less "ugly" and ashamed of myself than I did 42 pounds ago, so I don't feel as much of the fear of people looking at me and saying "there goes a great big fat pig" as I once did.

    I am really happy with myself this morning. I know that tomorrow and the next day and the day after I will still have to go through my self-talk routine to get out the door again, but I really hope that repetition will eventually help eventually ease this fear. I don't want to be a prisoner in my house any longer. This is a huge first step. :)


    Great victory

    Today I had a really really bad day. So on the way home I headed to the gym. Smashed out a great workout!
    My nsv? This time last year I would have gone to woolies on the way home and bought a block of chocolate and a packet of Tim Tam's

    That is a real victory! It's those tough times when we make the healthy decisions that show us how strong we are

    Thank you :smile:

    Yesterday i walked past the sweet shop instead of walking in and getting a quarter (100g)of dew drops, i could have probably fit them in my calorie goal but just thought to myself nope they'll only make you feel sick afterward as sweets do now.

    I ran/jogged today!!!!! The park where I walk is 261 metres long. And previously I could run only 90 metres. Today, I completed the whole round by jogging. It also helped that it was raining in the afternoon so it was not too sunny or hot. I Tasted runner's high and I am a happy blubbering idiot :D next goal-> run non stop for an hour and then maybe Mumbai marathon! !! YAY!!!

    I've gotten up at 5am to jog almost every day this past week. Last night I considered taking a rest day, but I woke up at 5 without my alarm, so I went anyway. I thought I would feel like, sore or stiff or tired by now, but the more I run the better I feel - I think maybe because my form is improving through practice?

    Anyway, I'm typically more of a 'sleep in until 11:30, stay inside all day' sort of person, so I'm proud of myself.

    Got a comment yesterday about my pretty biceps. Didn't realize they actually showed yet :blush:

    Bought a pair of size 8 (CAN) pants recently. Already at my goal size, what? So awesome :smiley:

    I realized I was always hungry and since I didn't have enough snacks in my lunchbox I would turn to the candy bar machine. So last night I made myself a batch of homemade protein bars. We shall see how those work out!

    Great work!!!


    I am currently working on running. Was doing it for about five weeks, but my knees were hating me. Took a week off, going to start slower this time with C25K.
    NSV- did I just say I took a week off of running? Why yes! This if-I'm-running-you-better-run-because-there's-a-bear girl is now a running-because-I-like-it girl!!

    Slickdeal on Relaxed Fit Dockers pants, right after I was able to fit into Classic Fit 34s :angry: So whatever, I order Relaxed Fit 32s. They fit! And they feel good!

    Yesterday I went to happy hour with my co-managers and fit that into my calories. But on the way home I was obsessed with the idea of a DQ blizzard. Not a large one, just a mini, but still 420 calories of frozen cookie dough bliss. (It doesn't help that I pass a DQ on my way home.) By the time I drove by, I had talked myself out of it since it would pretty much be entirely over my limit and I knew I wouldn't feel like exercising it off later.

    The Reeses peanut butter cups my boss just bought me are in the fridge and not my belly. They will go into my belly tomorrow when I have planned them in :)

    I'm wearing my FitBit one notch tighter as of this morning. Small victory, but it's cool to see loss even in my wrists. :)

    This is by far the best NSV I've ever read on these boards, I hope you continue getting outside and know that deep down you are stronger than your phobia! You got this, I believe in you! ⭐️

    Today's pants have a gap at the back of the waist..this has never occurred before. I always had a flat butt and a huge gut, now the butt is shaping and the gut is shrinking. Awesome!

    Thank you so much, and thank you to the others who commented on my post. I didn't go yesterday because it rained all day, but I went again this morning, and I had to psych myself up all over again to do it, but I did it. Onward I go! :)

    As someone with bipolar your post resonated with me. My fiance used to have to prep talk when I started c25k and each week i went up a level so the fact that you done it by yourself is awesome. You've got this girl! feel free to friend me

    tried on a pair of size 28 Gap jeans (size 7) and they fit perfectly. Added bonus...my daughter works there so I got them for 50% off using her employee discount!
