I used to love go karting. My partner is really into it and their family goes often for birthdays.
I haven’t joined in for the last 4 or 5 times, choosing to watch from the sidelines. It’s really rubbish as the room is freezing and it’s not a super exciting wait. I told myself and the family that it was because I was trying to save money and I didn’t like racing when it was busy.
However, deep down I knew the real reason. When you arrive at the track, you’re given a race suit. They come in 4 sizes and I used to be an orange - the smallest size. My partner is also orange as he’s the same height as me and slender. But the last time I raced, they gave me a green, the medium size. I don’t know why it upset me so much, but it did to the point that I only took part in one race and then said I was feeling to ill to continue. Something about having the size so obvious to everyone was too much. I hadn’t put on a lot of weight to get to medium, but it was clearly enough for the guy at the desk to notice.
Ive lost almost 20lb now since April and weigh less than my partner so I’m feeling more confident that I might be given a small if I take part next time. I want to lose another 7, but when lockdown is over I can’t wait to go racing again!
Did you stop doing anything, subconsciously or consciously, as a result of putting on weight?
