Don't you dare feel embarrassed about your weight

This morning I went to the gym for the first time since my injury and I was a little nervous because you know everyone says "gyms are mostly full of fit people" and it's not true. People of all shapes go to the gym. People don't go to the gym because they're fat - they go to the gym to get in shape. It's not even like people don't go to the gym because they're fat and they're afraid other people will gawk at them or something - everyone in the gym is there for the same reason and they're all so focused on their own things they don't really pay attention to anyone else. And if you do happen to catch someone's eye they're just not thinking anything bad about you - they're just acknowledging your presence.
