When People Stare

When I first started to go at the gym, I was extremely self conscious about my body.  First off because I was over 350lbs but because some people just look at you funny when you are attempting to do exercises on the machines, when you are that heavy. Thank goodness that at my gym there was a more private room where you could train in, where there wasn't as many "starers." But the one thing that I learned very fast is that you should not worry about those staring at you. Why? Because you are at the gym becoming a better version of yourself. You are there making a change. So why let those stares bother you? Those stares will turn into envy when you start to see results! But what you will also find at the gym is a lot of people who are also there to motivate you! I have created many friendships at the gym. People like people who have dedication, and will not stop until they get what they want, and when they get what they want they still keep going. Some stares are people cheering you on. A smile that some stranger gives you can help you through a fast paced workout. People who you don't know complementing you on your progress. Let me tell you what! That is an amazing feeling! So don't let those haters get you down! The only person you have to prove what you got is yourself. So let them stare, well you do your thing! BEAST MODE!
