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.

No worries at all @TAB It's tricky sometimes hey, totally empathise there 
You can definitely chat worries too 🙂 The space is for all emotions. For me, I always remind myself within the online community to focus on the feeling, not the specifics (sometimes easier said than done!). Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
