I've been blown away by the amount of support that I've been receiving at the gym.
For the past 2 or 3 months, I've been dropping at lot of weight. I should be out of the obese zone after 10 more lbs. In the beginning, I hated the amount of attention that I was receiving and the positive comments that I was hearing. I actually had to reflect on people's new attitudes towards me to feel comfortable with them. One guy came up to me and asked me about my progress, then he shared that he had lost 35lbs.
My drastic weight loss influenced people to copy my routine, which sometimes prevented me from being able to use the "good" machines. Due to COVID there are only 3 treadmills that have the incline up to 30, the rest go up to 15.
Fast forward to the past 2 weeks, some people who are on those machines have been getting off for me. One guy was like " I know how hard it is to lose weight and I see how hard you're always working."
Another guy just said nothing and allowed me to take the machine. Yesterday he saw me with a friend. I told my friend to take the "good" machine and that I would be back in 15 to 30 minutes. But before I could even turn around the guy got off for me like it was nothing. Like it was naturally the right thing to do. We both have been the fat guys at the gym for over 9 years and I just started talking to him recently.
For me it was nice feel warmth from other gym goers. People don't usually look out for me/ go out of there way for me, so it was great to experience that for a change. It felt like the good energy that I have been putting out there has finally come back to me.
