The journey has begun. Today I joined a gym and bought some clothes to train in. I want to slim down and prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes. I thought I’d start a thread for my journey and start posting about the journey. Hopefully it will see an improvement in my mental health too due to all those feel good chemicals.
So, this is Day 1... I’m nervous but excited at the same time.

hi @Bunniekins and @Meowmy
it is with a very heavy heart that I write to you this morning. I have to go back to my volunteer job today with the agressive male bully. I've had 6 weeks off and could not be in a worse place right now as I am feeling very triggered after being bullied here on some other threads. I don't know how I'm going to muster the strength to perform professionally today, it's very hard.

Hey there @BryanaCamp 
I really hope things go okay today for you, well done on being involved in volunteer work. I am sorry that you feel the way you do after last night, all members should feel safe within this community. Will be checking in via e-mail later today.

@BryanaCamp I am so sorry that you have to go back to that volunteering job with that bully. He sounded truly awful. I wish he could be kept away from you or better still asked to leave as he does sound dreadful. I am also sorry that you have the feeling that you have been bullied on other threads. That really is something to talk to the moderators about. No one should feel bullied or intimidated in the forum. This is meant to be a safe place for everyone. You are a good person who has shown me nothing but kindness since you have been here. I don't understand why anyone would bully you here.
