I've never been the most fit person. Growing up I hated gym and was always teased for being bigger.

I want to start out saying that my husband loves me more than anything and is as sweet as can be. I mentioned wanting to start working out a little here and there.

So after dinner today he told me to sit in front of him so he could hold my feet to see if I was comfortable doing a sit up/crunch. I made it about 75% of the way up....and then because I carry my weight in my mid section and am big chested I grabbed my ankles once I was almost all the way up.

My husband wanted me to try it the "correct" way but I basically told him I wanted to do it my way until I could do it the right way without causing myself major discomfort and not being able to breathe.

He was upset because he wanted to help. I was stubborn and insisted doing it my way because I'm more comfortable and less embarrassed.

I'm so grateful to have a sweet husband who wants to help me along my journey...but I'm just so embarrassed that I'm in this predicament in the first place. I want his help...I'm just too embarrassed and self conscious to fully accept it...even though I know he loves me no matter what.

I'm literally embarrassed to work out with my own husband's help...😭😭😭😭😭😭
