So last March I started hitting the gym hard. I had trainer Dan by my side giving me praise and also telling me to quite my whining.  I had very low self esteem and for this young kid to tell me I'm doing a great job was too much for me.  Who does he think he is giving me praise when I can't even jump up on a box that is 12" high!!  I wanted to cry because of the terror I was feeling inside.  I pushed passed my anxiety and jumped on that stupid box!!!!  Hurdle one, jump on box, check!  Now we just have 99 more hurdles to jump over...
