The pants are tight and I have an azz even at my weight, LOL, and I worry men think I'm trying to get them to look at me. UGH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950272 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 15:22:28 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 950272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I was going to say exactly what @Danizaur: said... I used to be really self-conscious too, but once I realized that everyone else is too focused on themselves to focus on me I got over it. Good luck on your 5K!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950133 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 14:13:36 +0000 artsyfartsy 950133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone is self conscious to a point. I assure you more people are worried about how THEY look and aren't focused on others, even if it doesn't seem that way. </p> <p>And if they are, then they're petty b-words who need a life, and who cares what those kind of people think anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950127 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 14:11:59 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 950127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So most of my life I was a very tiny girl (I'm pretty average now)...but any time I see someone exercising (big or small, but especially those who are bigger), I am always cheering that person on and am generally inspired by them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950115 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 14:04:52 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 950115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Sugar.Biscuit: you are out there kicking ass, training for a 5k! I don't care what someone is wearing or how much they weigh, if they are running/exercising all I think is "damn! Get it girl." Because I'd never run - not even if I was being chased by a bear! Okay, that's an exaggeration, but I'm always in awe of runners :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950093 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:55:00 +0000 MrsBrewer 950093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: that sounds like fun though! Truthfully, I don't even own shorts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950092 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:54:40 +0000 MrsBrewer 950092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: for real! I'm addicted to that Extreme weight loss show on abc! I get soooo encouraged! Although DH is a huge motivator too. He's a big guy....6'4 and about 300 lbs. and he works his ass out there with me. Although he's so athletic just by nature, but he's pushing me the entire time to keep going! Having a motivator helps! I bet your trainer is amazing at that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950089 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:52:18 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 950089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: You'll get there. At one point I had lost 150 pounds. It took me 4 years. Just keep moving. I get courage by watching woman bigger than me working their butts off. If they can do it I can do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950080 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:49:21 +0000 MrsBrewer 950080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: aww you're too sweet! That's exactly what DH keeps on telling me too! Most of the time like when I'm out there I don't care I'm just concentrating on staying alive! LOL! DH keeps saying too, at least we're out there exercising, and not sitting on our butts</p> <p>I just keep thinking about the 60 lbs that I want to lose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950075 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:47:10 +0000 loveisstrange 950075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, youre not alone. Im starting a pole fitness class and I have to wear shorts or the ling running/yoga short, bare from knee down.</p> <p>I never wear shorts. :/ i certainly dont want to start now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950072 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:46:06 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 950072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who gives a shit. You are rocking it cause you are using it! My trainer did a great job of redirecting me to the task at hand, getting fit. I'm 240...there is no hiding the bulge but I'm not training to impress anyone else, I'm doing it for me. Chin up and good luck with your 5k! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/body-image-self-conscious#post-950036 Sun, 21 Jul 2013 13:28:27 +0000 MrsBrewer 950036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a very self conscious person. Right now DH and I are training for our first 5k. We have been going on a nightly walk/jog. We bought all brand new workout clothes, we are sooo motivated to get in shape! We're both really excited about it!</p> <p>I always just feel so self conscious in workout clothes though. Especially the shirts. I know they're supposed to be a little tight to grab the sweat away from you and everything. I think I just need to suck it up and ignore it. I'm just always thinking what other people are thinking or saying when they see me....it's petty i know. </p> <p>Please tell me I'm not the only one?? </p>
