I find it hard to motivate myself to go work out sometimes because of other people. I know I should not let other people control what I do but when someone has low self esteem about their body negative remarks affect us. I went to work out tonight on the treadmill and at the beginning of my workout a woman walked up who looked to be a size 2 and said that it was obvious I never worked out and that I should give the machine to someone who does.
I used to be a very active person. While in school I was on the track team, I used to run every day! I loved running and I was in very good shape. Yes, I had problem areas but who doesn't? I was hit by a car as a pedestrian and since then I have been having problems with my weight. When I first started dating David I developed the condition PCOS and in 3 months I gained 100 pounds. Because of the PCOS loosing weight is extremely difficult. My body tends to gain weight (not muscle weight) when I start to work out.
Now after what that womans has said and some other things that have happened at the gyms I find I really don't want to go back. I will go back but it is so discouraging with people are negative about me trying to loose weight. I would NEVER ever be so cruel to someone who was trying to do something to better their health. If only other people were like that.
Short report of my workout. I warmed up on the treadmill at 2.5mph for 5 minutes and then walked for 25 minutes at 5mph with my heart rate going between 169-171 then warmed down for 3 minutes at 2mph.
