Dealing With My Insecurity Issues.
Hello everyone,
rn
Wow!!! Yesterday I feel like my insecurity level was being tested. Usually I try to go the track and walk for about an hour. I got out a little late that day, and about 15 minutes into walking I started seeing these high school kids come down to the track. I said to myself

Well I see some major incentive now. Now that the boss saw you at the track, you have to keep working out! You should be proud of yourself though. We can’t let what people think get in the way of our goals. You did good by staying on that track. Good luck with the rest of your weight loss!
Blue, way to go on your terrific day! I feel the same way sometimes when people pass me by. The uncool thing today was that when I did pass a group of young boys, one of the little twerps did whisper “Mooooooo”. I do not think it was about how big I am. I think that one of the boys just wanted to seem cool. BLAH. I still do not feel good because I recall the nastiness when I was in high school and I still feel like I look that way. But I did not take it so badly. I just told myself that I was cute…lol I did not say anything because I seem to not know how. Now, if I was with someone and strangers said something about my friend, I could easily defend them. But why could I not defend myself ? Well, atleast I told myself in my head I was cute. We are constantly improving and that is terrific. Thanks for sharing your fears. I am still amazed at how we all have so much in common. Keep up your efforts :)
Blue-you inspire me every day. Not only did you exercise a lot today, you also overcame the negative self-talk so many of us struggle with each and every day. THANK YOU for sharing your story! You make me want to exercise right now. Keep it up! You can do it! We are here with you!
Hey, Blue it’s your new buddy! Girl I know how you feel. I thought I would feel better after losing a few pounds, but I don’t. Looking at the high schoolers brings me back to when I was in high school , fine as could be but didn’t know it. I want to jog myself but I get to worrying about how bad I look jiggling all over the place. I am proud to hear that you didn’t let onlookers stop you. I hope to reach that point, with a buddy like you as my inspiration I WILL.
i am proud of you…those negative thoughts stop me too but if you sotp caring what people think and focus on whats more important…YOURSELF….you will get to where you want to go. The feelings of insecurity..are just feelings, that doesnt mean you have to listen to them. So you feel uncomfortable, just sit with them and plug away with your work out. I try to remember this…I dont know how religious you are. But no one\’s thoughts matter except Gods. God is not up there laughing going…wow your jiggly. So if someone here on earth is thinking that…so what? You are doing something good for you. And the only JUDGEMENT you should be worried about is God\’s. Remember that next time you go walking or jogging. I have a really hard time going back to the gym because they rememeber me as skinny but they will now see me chubby…i dont even wanna know their thoughts. But im going to ignore their thoughts. I have my reasons for gaining my weight and God knows. And God isnt judging me by my weight. And I shouldnt care what people in that gym are thinking. All it does is cause me slower weight loss and a waste of extra time and worry.
You\’re beautiful and you can do it.
sorry that was long
Good for you Blue…i dont know if i would have had the guts to do the same as you. but good for you . Meghann
