TLDR: Friends did not react well and I was surprised by their reactions. Should have shut up and done it with out telling anyone.
I'm very short and had broken the 210lb mark. Which put me in class 3 morbidly obese bmi... I needed to lose roughly between 80 to 100lbs to be in a normal bmi for my height.
Through diet alone I lost about 20lbs. I recently started to be more regular going to the gym. Quickly I realized I have no idea what I'm doing there. I started thinking about getting a personal trainer to help me get an idea of what should do. I don't want to hurt myself because of past injuries or just plain ignorance.
I told my best friends about this their reactions have really hurt and upset me.
First friend was incredibly negative, basically told me I'm wasting my money. I could just watch YouTube or checked pinterest workouts. That spending the money wouldn't make me commit since it would be hard. Followed up by trainers won't make me push myself.... eventually I just stopped talking and changed the subject.
Today my other friend decided to elect themselves to be my trainer and teach me what to do... only they didn't ask about my goals or what I want to work on. Talked over me when I tried to explain why I shy away from some things for now. I know this came from a good place but it was very frustrating for me to not feel heard. I shut down and did what they wanted me to do.
I am sitting on my couch nursing an old injury that flailed up because of what I did. Right now I am mad as hell at myself. I don't think talking to them with will help. One was trying to help and the other has their own personal issues that I know led to the negative reaction. I find myself ranting online to calm down before I call and hire myself a damn personal trainer.
Moral of my story is: I should have just hired the trainer and not talked to my friends about it.
