I am so incredibly depressed over this... I've been exercising at the gym maybe 4 times a week and eating healthier than I was before, and I have lost weight - I'm down from a size 16 to a size 10. But the problem is, not only am I getting very, very bored with the gym, but the discomfort and fear that I feel every time I go there hasn't changed at all. I know that people of all ages, shapes, and sizes go to the gym, and all for different reasons; I see it when I go there. I know in my head that of course fit people are not all mean... they aren't all bullies like the kids who picked on me in school. I can't reconcile that with my heart though. I feel terrible about this, and I've been struggling with it for a very long time. I just started working on it with my therapist, and I think she'll be able to help me quite a bit. What's more, I feel like this is holding me back in some way -- I don't know who the **** I am, and I'm scared of becoming a skinny *****. Of course I want to be healthy, but I don't want to be a horrible person. Again... I realize it's very unfair to make a blanket judgment on everyone who's at a certain fitness level, but in a way, I also feel like that's what they do to me. What can I do to deal with this??? Anyone?
