And quite frankly I'm scared. PT is one thing I fear. It's like your own private season of Biggest Loser. You've seen the show; you know how it is. That is how it is. It's awful. It's horrible. It's sweaty and undignified. There will be tears I'm sure.
So why am I doing it? Because nothing else is working. After decades of dieting, I've lost that spark. That desire to keep going. Nothing else has worked to bring back that spark quite like personal training.
I'm sure my blahness has a lot to do with the fact that I still haven't gone to see a shrink/therapist/counselor/whatever. That really is my bad. It's just so daunting to confess your soul to a complete stranger.
With that said, if any of you have experience in Cognitive Process Therapy, give me a shout. I'd much rather confess my soul to my internet peeps! :)

I'm thinking that you may just want to let go of 'years of dieting' :) that doesn't sound fun at all!
good luck with the training. I hope it doesn't kill you.
Good luck with the personal trainer -I'm always way too intimidated by them to give it a shot!
Have fun with the PT! Murder artists they are.
Good on ya lady. Hard decision but I'm guessing you feel better for just making it.

I love my personal trainer! Well, not literally but professionally, I really do. Looking back over the long years of trying get and stay slim and fit, the ONLY thing I have ever stuck to has been going to a personal trainer. All the other forms of exercise: running, swimming, cycling, aerobics, squash, tennis, golf and probably more besides have all faded in and out....the most consistency I have ever achived has been with a trainer. 2 years with one guy who then moved and then 2.5 years with the lovely Huw who I now see twice a week.
Find a good one and make it a non-negotiable and it will be worth the pain (and the cash!).
Good luck chuck!
