I HIIT it today!

[FattyBoomBoomFatty]

I am massive. Really fat. Size 26. Even anonymously I can't bear to type my weight.

And today I did a HIIT class. I did it even though I could hear my fat overhanging belly slapping against my body during the shuttle runs. And I did sit ups and planks and push ups. All of it even though everyone else was faster and stronger and better than me.

And I got told I was doing great and I think she (instructor) meant it. And I also plucked up the courage beforehand to talk to a stranger who was lovely and offered to be my partner in the class and was also encouraging me throughout.

So I feel really proud of myself and not a little bit emotional and I wanted to share it with you (am a regular poster under a nc for this).

to everyone who knows these feelings.

WOW congratulations! I don't dare to go to classes, but what you write is very inspiring!

Well done you! I can’t even do 1 press-up and I’m 10 stone something and a wimp.

Just to be clear - the press ups were on my knees, the sit ups were hardly up, my 'fast' shuttles were slower than the others 'recovery jog' and the planks were mostly an insult to the term.

But still...
