My First Day of Weights is Kind of Scary

I’m still in NYC, and I’ve decided to start lifting weights, in a hotel gym filled with super fit people. Some I know. Why you might ask? I have no freaking idea LOL. I had a friend who said “see you at the gym”, and said “well, might as well try”. I had no idea what I was doing, I felt like everyone was looking at me. BUT, I did it anyway.

I think this is my biggest fear, what people might say behind my back. “What is she doing in the gym”, “look how big she is, she doesn’t belong here”. I make up these stories in my head about what I THINK, people are saying about me.

One of my super fit friends said to me, everyone is at the gym for their own reason, they are all in their own little bubble, trying to fix what they want to change about themselves. She said you might look at another woman and say; “I wish I had her body”, and she is probably looking at another woman saying the exact same thing. Just do YOU.
