I'm 54, profoundly overweight and haven't worked out in over a year. I'm taking my first step to stop hiding and turn my life around. I'm heading to the YMCA to swim laps. I don't know why I feel so scared.

    You're stepping way outside your comfort zone -- wearing a bathing suit, not the clothing we profoundly overweight people wear as armor -- and probably feeling vulnerable. I won't say "don't be scared" because that never helps, but you're brave and stronger than you know for even thinking about it. Go forth and face your dragon! And let us know how it went when you come home.
