Since october I've been steadily losing weight but recently have hit a plateau. The last 3 weeks I've only lost 100grams. This was difficult for me but I knew this day was coming. Dieting alone wasnt going to get me to my goal weight.
The issue is I have some serious mental health issues so going to a gym is so anxiety inducing that I've been putting it off for a while now. I'm 36kgs down so I had just been telling myself that dieting would be enough but logically I knew the gym was going to be the next step.
I went in to one of my local gyms and already I was starting to panic because it was busy and was so scared that they were judging me because I'm still a pretty big guy despite what I've lost.
The owner of the gym came out and ushered me into his office because he said I was looking like a deer in headlights. This guy was so warm and reassuring. I explained my situation with my eating disorder (binge eating) and mental health struggles. He then made me a schedule of the quiet times and offered me 3 free personal training sessions because he could see how far I had came with my diet and wanted to help me start my exercise journey on the right foot.
I walked out of there feeling great. I never thought I would be able to set foot in a place like that but I start Monday and am feeling so motivated and even excited.
