[quote=Anonymous]I just began a new job and my boss told me he will put $100 a month towards any gym membership. I am grateful, but ... REALLY fat. I was out of work a long, long time, and while I've been overweight my whole life, during the out-of-work period basically sat on my couch and ate all day. I'm 250 now. So while I'm very grateful to my boss for this offer of gym membership, I am also a little overwhelmed. Right now I walk about a mile per day.

I found a gym that looks good, that I think I'd like to join, but can not imagine what I would possibly do when I walk in. I am guessing I should wait to join the gym until my health insurance kicks in, in case I injure myself. But after that ... how do I even BECOME the "fat girl at the gym"? Do I need to hire a trainer? Once? A bunch of times in a row? Once a month? Are they going to be like The Biggest Loser and scream at me in front of everyone until I throw up?

I know that if I'm working out, my mindset will switch to eating more healthily (because of not wanting to derail all my hard work with So. Many. Carbs). I am just overwhelmed at walking into a gym. Do I go stand on a treadmill sandwiched between two people will good bodies? A friend of mine suggested I work out with a kettle ball. Does that sound like a good idea? Can somebody please arrange to clear the gym so nobody is there to stare at all my parts jiggling? Also, is there privacy to take showers? Or, can I just go home and shower at home instead, in the privacy of my own bathroom?

Please hold my hand and tell me how to do this.[/quote]
