Fat ones, skinny ones, long ones, short ones. Gym rats that is! Yes, I rejoined a gym a few days ago! As I mentioned in previous posts, I put on a LOT of weight due emotional eating over deaths over the last 4 years of people very close to me, including my best friend, Gloria and my mom. Bone surgery on my foot last year in July didn't help matters as I was unable to even go for a walk for months and months.
It is ironic how being fat can keep you from going to the gym. I didn't want anyone to see in my sweat pants that stretched too tightly over my flabby ass, my belly protruding over the waist band. I know all of you other "curvy, buxom" women can relate too that. Skinny ladies running on the tread mill in tight form fitting jog bras and lycra shorts makes you hyper aware of each bulge around your waist, each dimple on your butt and thighs. I am still aware of the fact that I have a lot of weight to lose, I am happy to be back at the gym! Since losing 12 lbs over the past month, my sweat pants are actually a bit baggy!
I head to the Caribbean in 25 days. Although I won't be strutting my stuff in a bikini around the pool, I am excited about my progress and will continue down this path. Eventually I will change the name of my blog to Chronicles of a Former Fat Girl.
