Hello I started on this site back in October. Failed miserably. I tried working out after isolating myself from the rest of the world. I was going through serious self-image issues at the time and found it difficult to go to the gym. So many things were going on in my life that made things difficult for me to function as a normal adult. I was out of work and very down about my situation. My SO was very hard on me about my situation and found it even more difficult to function. The last thing on my mind was working out.

I caught a break and my friend’s mother helped me out by letting me work for their family’s liquor store. It was nice to have some money in my pocket. Then, from there my employment agency got me a temp job for 30 days. With high anxiety of going back to a life of no work, I was determined to find work and I was very lucky. I found a permanent job and that’s what’s been going on with me. My confidence level is up, I feel I have some sort of value because I’m contributing to society.

With that, my new job is very close to a brand new 24hr Fitness SuperSport and I go to the gym during lunchtime and take classes. I love their Pilates, Yoga & Spin classes. Then this past week my SO and I started doing P90X. We have before and after pics.

During all that time, I was maintaining my weight and slightly going up a pound or two.

So far, I feel great. My body feels tighter and slimmer. I feel a lot more confident with my image. But as far as self-worth, not so good. Now I just have to improve emotionally.
