Friday Mini Rant
>> Friday, January 18, 2013
Sometimes I
hate the gym. No, it is not what you think. Sometimes I hate the
people at the gym. The people that WORK
at the gym. Here is why. Yesterday, I am minding my business getting
my cardio in. I had already done 30
minutes on the Stepmill (that mother is a biotch) and I was at minute 10 on the
elliptical enjoying Four Weddings on TLC (I don’t have TLC at home so I try and
watch it at the gym it I can). When
these two “trainers” approach me.
Trainer 1:
Hi
Me
(startled): Hey…
T1: This is
Dominique, he is new here and is going to start training people.
Me: Hey…
T1: Since I know that you are super nice and here often I
decided to come over and say hello.
Me (In my
head): Oh lucky me….
T1: So you come here a lot eh? (Canadians do say
eh)
Me: Yeah, I try to come every day, you know try
and get off that extra weight
T1: Well you have lost weight since you have been
here, what 15 pounds?
Me: No I
haven’t actually I put on about 20...
T1: No, no you haven’t
Me: Yes I
have
PAUSE
Now this
where I get mad, how are YOU telling ME how much weight I have or haven’t lost,
mind your effin business. That is one
thing that I hate about this journey, people always try and size up my weight
lose. Things like, wow I never realized how big you were or do you really weigh that much? Are questions that erk me. I have gained 10-15 pounds in the
last year. Please do NOT try and tell me
that I haven’t. You are not my clothes
that I have to put on everyday, thank you very much.
That is the
end of my rant.
Thank you
for reading and have a great weekend!

The guy was probably trying to compliment you and downplaying the weight you lost thinking it was a compliment.
I can see how it's annoying though especially when you are in there for a private workout. I hate too many bodies in the gym too. It used to intimidate me to no end!
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hmmm...I am with you on that. May I share my gym employee story?
So I am checking in at the gym and I gave the guy at the desk my debit card instead of my gym membership card. The guy at the desk says, this isn't your membership card, but how about we put some personal training sessions on this debit card!
I was just standing their stunned!
I love "Four Weddings" on TLC too and just can't get enough of it. Congratulations on your weight loss and it is really inspiring that you are sharing your story with others.
