Hi all, I'm 26F 5'4" CW:182 GW:140, and here is my problem:

I'm very self conscious about the way I smell, and smelling bad is one of my absolute worst fears. I want to start going to the gym again to lose weight, since I don't have the machines at home. My problems are that I'm self conscious about sweating (which is one of the reasons why I stopped going) and that I'm currently on my period. I'm freaking out that people will smell and judge me, or worse, people will give me those "looks" because I smell horrible.

How can I combat this? I have very heavy periods, so I change my pad every hour or so anyway, but I'm deeply uncomfortable with the thought of smelling at the gym that I don't even want to go.
