It's my life not yours

Oh, just seeing it quoted reminds me, the thing about people looking at you at the gym like you're a freak. Sometimes when a really fit looking girl comes into the gym I give her a glance (though I try to be really discrete and not stare) and remind myself that eventually I can look like that, and that's why I'm there. lol. There's probably a healthy dose of envy in the look too, to be honest.

You have a good point. I am thin with what I call 15-20 lbs of fluff (more like 5-10 now) and I do look thinner with my workout clothes on (they're a pair of dark pants and a dark top...very slimming ). I'm already signed up for Curves for 12 months so I am going to stick it out. what you said also makes me think that maybe the "dirty" looks from the older women is actually a little bit of envy. Not so much envy for what I look like, but maybe they never had other women in their lives that told them you need to work at it when you're younger and keep at it, because it gets harder when you're older.
