AIBU ...
Basically I’ve had a really challenging year and changed careers, left my long term partner and the home we had together.
Overall, I’m a lot happier but my new job is more stressful and I’ve comfort eaten with all the different emotions I’ve experienced and losing my routine.
Until these changes, I was an avid gym goer and had lost around 5 stone. I’m not too sure how much I’ve gained but it is noticeable and I’m embarrassed when I see people who haven’t seen me in a while.
I’ve told my mum all of this and explained how as much as I miss the gym, I feel to ashamed to go as I was a ‘success story’ and now I’ll be seen as a failure. I used to go six days at week for nearly three years so I’m not being dramatic, I knew the staff particularly well and did lots of classes.
Mum and I said we would go on a spa day soon and I should let her know my availability - at the time we mentioned two local places. My mum has just texted me to say she’s already booked a voucher to redeem for a spa day at my GYM.
AIBU to really not want to go? Part of me thinks I have to as she’s paid money trying to do something nice but she has totally disregarded everything I said to her over Christmas. I would be on edge all day particularly as I’d be wearing my swim costume.
