Awkward.....

We’ve all felt it.  We’ve all done it.  The stare.

You know when you’re walking through the mall or at the grocery store and you just happen to be wearing the jeans that give you a bit of a muffin top?  Don’t be ashamed, everyone has them in the right pants. 

Doesn’t it feel like everyone is looking right at it and thinking, “Look at 

that girl and her fat rolls”…..

It’s hard not to feel that way a lot of the time.  Especially when we go to the gym.  

Going to the gym can put us in a very vulnerable state.  We are in tight clothes, 

sweating, panting, and our hair looks….. different. 

Meanwhile, whenever you look around, it seems like everyone is looking right at you and judging you, your body and your form.  After a while, it can feel like the anxiety surrounding going to the gym is stronger than your interest in going. 

This is one of the top reasons why people stop going to the gym after they start a regimen.  But it can be conquered with one simple thought.

Here’s the thing.  These people don’t matter, don’t know you and you are fine. 

You are there for one reason, to get healthy.  You need to get in there, put in those ear buds, blast some Meghan Trainor and buckle down.  The only person whose thoughts can bring you down is you.  We spend so much time worrying about other people and their opinions when the only ones that really matter are our own.  We use these thoughts as excuses and then the cycle continues until you are so self-conscious that you can’t do anything. 

Stop the cycle, stop worrying about little miss perky booty or the guy with the biceps bigger than your head.  Worry about you, and only you.
