Got up at 5.30am today and at 5.55am went outside to meet Rupert and we went for a run before going back to the gym to do some weights and then ran back to my place

Well, starting to make some personal conversation is the right direction to go in. It'll make him feel more comfortable with you and vice versa. I can understand how you feel, though.
I want to show what he looks like and I've been trying for an hour to post the four pictures I have but it's not doing it!! Argh!
Part of the problem with making personal conversation with him is that I already don't feel comfortable enough in the gym because I feel like I don't belong there...but I do like making personal conversation with him. I think he noticed I was alot more open when we were outside than when we're in the gym.
I sssooooo wanna jump him!!!! And the treadmill is sssoooo much easier than running outside! I don't think it's that he's judging me on the exercising - I think more on the fact that after almost 5 months, I haven't got much to show for it...someone give me some damn good motivation please!!! He knows that after the neuro visit in Liverpool that I somewhat crashed. And he has been praising me for what I have achieved, like being able to run for longer than I could 5 months ago. And I continue to amaze him with my rowing ability - he was genuinely suprised a couple of weeks ago when I was able to pace myself a lot faster than he had predicted: I finished the distance in about a minute faster than he'd expected.
What the hell do you mean you haven't got much to show for it?! You just outlined what you have to show for it: the running longer, the rowing, the fact that you keep exceeding your trainer's expectations!
Dude, I'd be damn proud if I were you. I bet you're in much better shape, much stronger, than you were five months ago. Any changes are probably going to be more gradual than you're going to notice when you start exercising like this.
I would definitely not give up. Exercising is gooood (says the lazy-ass who has not moved from her chair in weeks -- hush).
But I have nothing to physically show for it! I keep glancing at myself in the mirror and I REALLY hate what I see! My hips and waist are still enormous and my only saving grace is my height. My ass is even bigger! I agree my buffalo wings are slowly waning, but it's still not a pretty sight, like with my round face. I look like an orge.

Don't worry about looking like a pig when you're exercising, yo! You're exercising! If he's judging you on that, then he's a friggin' ass anyway.
And also, it's not harder to run outside, it's just much easier on the treadmill. ;)
