Lacking confidence

[SandC]

Hi.

I find it difficult to feel comfortable around family and friends when socialising. I feel this is mainly due to being so unfit and overweight

I've not lost any weight through running but I have begun to notice my shape changing for the better. And running makes you feel so good! Give this programme a go, it's amazing!

Same here no weight loss but clothes fit better and shape also changing 👍

you have made a start by coming to this site! the second step is down to you, i, like you felt a little self conscious so made the decision to do something about it. Started to watch what i ate (pasties and crisps were my god lol) and started the couch25k, i have lost 2 stones since then and followed the plan. I feel fitter and a lot more confident about myself!

No one on this site is judgemental and are very happy to offer advice.

My advice: GO FOR IT!!!

Hi SandC

I can empathise with your lack of confidence in social situations as I have felt totally incapable of saying the right things or even doing the right things for as long as I remember and I am now 56! I try to push myself to achieve something, like persevering to achieve a 5k run even though I’ve not run since I left school. In fact the run out of the school gates on the last day was probably the fastest I’ve ever done 😝

I am on week 2 although I completed week 2 last week I found it hard so thought I’d master that before moving on. This week I’ve been able to do the same runs with a little more ease and that gives me a feeling of achievement and I am hoping that will start to show through in my ability to socialise a little less self consciously because I am proving to myself that I can achieve. Try to remain positive and believe that the ability to change aspects of our lives we are not comfortable with lies within ourselves ... far easier to continue as we’ve always been isn’t it? As in so much of life the choice is ours.
