I am a 34 y/o female and in a new relationship (~3 months). I am 5’5 and somehow managed to balloon up to 168. I’ve gotten a nutritionist and committed to spending the next eight weeks getting back to a “comfortable weight” (130s - 140s) but as I was riding my Peloton today I looked out of the window and had to admit to myself: I am SO ashamed of myself and my body right now. I am sharing this here as it feels like there is no one else I can confess this to and I am sure there are folks here who can relate. I am not depressed, self-loathing, etc. but sheesh, I’M EMBARRASSED for letting myself get this out of shape. There is no other way to frame it. I cannot be the only person who feels like this in spite of being on a positive road to health / self-correction. At any rate, I had to get that off of my chest and also to let anyone else out there who feels shame know: you are absolutely not alone. Also, shame comes in all weights, heights and shapes and is also highly personal / internal. Also disclaimer: My personal shame and embarrassment has everything to do with how I feel about my own health and body and I pass not judgment on anyone else’s. There are people who look - and feel - fantastic who are both much larger and much smaller than I am.
