...starts with a single step. I think that’s how it goes. A good friend reminded me of that yesterday. Over the last couple of months I have managed to steadily lose 37 pounds, which in itself I am really pleased with, but I still have a long way to go. So yesterday I found myself, with the help of said friend, taking the tour at a local gym. I was nervous, I expected to feel lost and out of place. But I didn’t. The woman who showed us around was fantastic. She was very reassuring and completely understanding of all of my fears and uncertainties. Within minutes she put me at ease and reinforced the feeling that this will be a good thing. No. It will be great. I know there are other ‘big girls’ like me who would love to be able to take the first step that I have just taken, and all I can say to them is fight the fear and go for it. I’m already glad that I have!
