A little backstory-- I'm 25F 4'11 and now 110 pounds. I used to be a gym freak in college from 18-23 where I would go every single day, sometimes twice a day and at the time got down to 90 lbs (which in hindsight was too small). During this time was a dark period of my life where I was insecure, constantly anxious, and dealing with untreated depression. But, I was just entering the nutrition profession and was really into healthy eating and working out. I had a gym in the bottom floor of my building which helped a lot in helping me stick with a consistent routine. Also my roommates would go with me which always helps.
I'm in a great place in my life, but I have let myself go. I want to get down to 100 pounds again and just be toned, because I've gone up three jean sizes and I'm so petite that a five pound weight gain makes me look like a balloon. I'm a nutritionist so I understand the eating part of it, but I can't seem to get past anxiety and almost a fear and dread of working out. I don't have a gym close by and I have to drive and I hate seeing all the girls my age who look so amazing there in their cute gym clothes. I could workout here in my house but I can't seem to get motivated or bring myself to do it. The thought fills me with dread...I hate being out of breath and the muscle burn and the thought of not being able to compete a workout 100% because I am a perfectionist and can't stand half-assing something so it's stressful to have to be perfect in my workout.
Does anyone else have this? What can I do to get past it? I need to get past this mental block because I do feel good once that endorphin rush kicks in after a killer workout.
