I have to admit that I felt a little self conscious at 355 wearing a cycling jersey and cycling shorts struggling to get up a couple different hills today. But then I remembered I could care less about what strangers think of me. Seriously though, I've been self conscious about my weight my entire life. It doesn't help anything or anyone to worry about what other people think. I'm actually impressed when I see a Clyde out there run I g or riding. It means they've made a decision to better them self and aren't vegging out on the couch at home.
