Hi people. I am about to sign up to complete and instructor training program for a popular international company that offers a weight lifting class. I have taken the class and am mostly capable of completing it successfully,but I need to work on some weak areas that I have. The issue really is that I'm not very strong and have eating issues, body image issues, etc. I think if I train hard enough I can achieve this goal, but usually a fit body scares me with sexual fears. I keep extra weight on me for "protection" yet at the same time I am miserable with my body because I could be doing better. Could use your support! Thanks!

I can understand because I think about that too of being too sexy and guys will hit on me or try something. Then I ask myself is it just an excuse? I am not sure. I know I would feel much better about myself if was fit and strong. I like the word strong. That helps, I want to get into shape too. And then when that time comes, would take defense classes or karate to defend myself better. I have eating issues myself and need to exercise more too. Thank you and BIG HUG!

I think strength is what is the major focus to looking good and being happy. Its okay to not have a guy hit on you then to worry that someone will find you attractive and try to take something from you. In addition, it is easier to have the weight as an excuse as to why you don't have what you want . . .its because of the weight.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
