in Introduce Yourself
I've been here a few months but have not participated in the forums due to my social anxiety. I had lost 40 lbs a while back but quit smoking 5 years ago and gained it all back and added even more. My anxiety was always a problem at the gym and got worse as I gained weight. I have now found a 24-hour girls-only gym that I feel far more comfortable with and am actually making some progress. I would love to make some friends in this process.

    As someone who has anxiety problems and ocd, I know its hard. There have times Ive stop coming to the gym, not because Im scared to be seen, but because I just get anxity over anything! But now a days Im feeling better and working out and its great! Glad to see you didnt let it stop you!! Keep it up!

    (And remember ....... no one's perfect ..... even those that think they are LOL)

    Friend me if you'd like ...... the more, the merrier :drinker:
