Self-Conscious when working out

I felt silly at the gym too...but then I realized, you know what? What looks worse, me working on my health and body or me going into the plus size section and not being able to find anything that fits?
I don't care if I look silly when I am working out.0 -
The next time you start to feel self-conscious about doing your workout just try and picture me, a 50 year old trucker with a beer gut, doing jumping jacks in the middle of a truck stop parking lot. That should make you feel much better :laugh:
Damn, that's dedication.

I love thisDo you remember when you were a little kid, and you had absolutely NO DOUBT that you were awesome and amazing?? You didn't care what anyone thought. You ran and jumped and climbed and twirled because it felt good, and you never gave a thought to how you looked or sounded to others. When I work out, I try to channel that "little kid awesome." it's not a conceited kind of feeling, but it's just a way to claim your space in this world and do what you need to do...for YOU. So just jump baby!!!0

When I first started going to the gym, I felt so out of place. All of these in shape guys/girls around me and I was the fat one. Now whenever I see an overweight person trying to make a change, it sort of inspires me. It makes me remember how I felt back then.
Just keep pushing yourself and try not to worry about those around you. 95% of the people around you are not even paying attention, and that 5% might be inspired by you.0
