[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me (I'm not op) I'm inspired that you took that step to do something new outside of your comfort zone. I'm inspired that you are still at it even though it is more difficult for you to run a mile than it is for me. I'm inspired that you want to make a positive change in your life.

That's what inspires me.[/quote]

Here's the problem I have with this -- not everyone showing up at the gym to make a positive change in their life and work at running a mile even though it's hard is fat, there are thin people at the gym in the same position, and not everyone who is fat is a gym newbie, some are fat despite working out regularly for years.. If you really just want to give kudos to people who are making positive changes and showing up even though it's hard, do it for everyone instead of singling out the people who are overweight and making all kinds of assumptions about everyone.[/quote]

I think what OP is trying to say is, that although it's hard for you to walk in the gym (as you may feel self conscious) it's great that you took that first step!  It's hard to do things you're not used to, so just showing up is really important![/quote]
