The gym is a scary place for many people.
Even scarier: The women’s change room. Bodies of all shapes and sizes.
I am the first to admit, I have a hard time ‘baring it all’ in the change room. I have developed quite the technique with regards to changing without showing any skin.
You may recall my first Operation Beautiful note where I stopped feeling self conscious about my sweat. Ever since then, I’ve also stopped feeling self conscious about my body.
After losing 100lbs, I can tell you… I do not have a trim/toned body. I have a saggy, wrinkly body. But you know what? I worked HARD to lose each and everyone of those pounds. Why not be proud of that?
I am no longer ashamed of my body. I don’t feel the need to hide behind the curtain anymore.
I thought I’d remind all the beautiful women at my gym of the same thing.
