A New Environment: The Gym

Now, up to that point, I was just exercising at home with the bike and walking.  I had done no weight training of any kind or even gone to a gym.  By the time a friend of mine gave me two month pass to the one he went to, I had already lost 130 pounds on my own naturally.  He told me that he wanted to give me something for coming so far on my own.  I owe him a lot because I'd have never known how nice the atmosphere at a gym could be.  I had found a new place where I could exercise and learn new ways to workout.  Who could have asked for a better gift?

Through all this time, my family was not supportive at all.  Ever since my mom had passed away, I kind of felt I was ambushed at time.  I had no one to speak up for me except me.  The name calling was not helpful either.  They'd also do things to me that still haunts me.  I was emotionally, mentally and physically tortured for doing something to better my well being.  It wasn't right but it did happen.  They may deny it but I've got the scars on my mind and heart from it.
