How do I get past this?
I just got a personal trainer so I can get back into shape, learn how to use the equipment, and maintain proper form. Today was my second session, and I left the gym hating myself even more than I already did.
Everyone in there was in fantastic shape. Beautiful people. Meanwhile, I’m fat as hell struggling to do basic workouts. I’ve never felt more embarrassed in my life. I saw how I look in the big gym mirror and almost puked because of how bad I look compared to everyone else. I feel like I don’t belong in there because I’m so far below everyone else.
How do I get past this? The gym is supposed to be good for mental health, but it seems to be making mine worse.
Thanks for reading, sorry for the long post.
