[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who has gone to the gym 5 days a week for yrs and yrs I have 2 pieces of advice.

1. [b]Don't worry about how you look. Everyone looks like crap at the gym but no one notices bc they are only worried about themselves.[/b]  Seriously even when I smile and nod at ppl it's just me being polite I am never mentally judging them or evaluating them.

2. You may not want to go to the gym...like ever. I would say I only want to go about 20 percent of the time. The other 80 I truly have to make myself. It's just a non negotiable and I treat it as such. It's something that takes alot of self discipline but it does come over time.[/quote]

This.  Believe me, if anyone at the gym looks at you and thinks anything other than "awesome! good for her, getting into shape," then that person is a class-A asshole and you shouldn't give a rat's ass what they think.  I see people of all shapes and sizes at my gym and I just applaud them all (in my head) for getting out there.  It's not easy but it's worth it.  And shit, if you're getting $100/month then you can afford a swank gym that will make you want to go!  :-)    My one piece of advice is to also start thinking about your eating habits.  Be very mindful of not treating yourself to high-fat/high-calorie treats every day that you work out, thinking that you've earned it.  The truth is that we rarely burn as many calories as are in a dessert or cheeseburger.  So clean up your eating too, otherwise you may get discouraged if you're not seeing major changes just from going to the gym.  [/quote]
