How to stop feeling judged at the gym?
Advertisements
Hi All, I wanted to lose weight, so I registered for a workshop. The workshop is held in groups, and I noticed that most of the people are fit (six pack kind), leaving me the only bui bui (fat).
So, as the lessons are being taught, my subconscious mind is thinking that I’m being judged….. be it physical appearance or my form.
I know that I think too much but how to get rid of the thoughts/feeling?

- Idk if this helps but I like to think that sure when people see you they may know you’re out of shape but at the same time, they also know that you’re here. That means that you’re putting in effort to change and there’s nothing shameful about that.
- Think about it this way. If someone go gym 4x a week see so many faces, do u think they will rmb them by the end of the month?
When I first started, I skinny af and only dared to do 3-4 exercises before I zao. It’s been 6 yrs and now I still skinny af (ok but less so) but also don’t care.
Anyway some of them prolly think you good for working on yourself. Keep grinding bro/sis and work for yourself, not because of others - I have been working regularly for past 20 over years. And when I see someone who’s out of shape coming to the gym, I always happy for that person because this is a person who’s taking actions to make a positive change.
Don’t worry what others think mate, their perception really isn’t important. It is what goes on in your head that makes all the difference. Keep at it and when you look back, you’ll find that it is quite silly. Gambatte!
