    Yeah, but then I think to myself "who want's to look pretty at the gym anyway, I am here to work out not to impress people"

    That was when I went to the gym anyways!

    I work out alone....I don't really pay attention if people are looking at me or me looking at them. I'm there for a purpose....basically, go in and sweat! As long as I have my music with me.....it's ON!


    Exactly what I do!

    This made me laugh! Just this morning I was headed to the gym thinking about how I might not be so irritable about it if I wasn't looking like such a hideous beast. So yeah, I'm a fellow gym beastie. I also don't understand those girls in full make-up with their long hair down. I have to have mine pinned back completely, otherwise it would drive me nuts.

    as far as what other people think of me at the gym: my only goal is to be such a hot sweatie mess when I leave that I know I didn't waste my time there. I think the majority of people at my gym would think that's a pretty awesome way to leave the gym, and well if they don't then maybe they are there for the wrong reasons and I feel sad for them.

    Never go to the gym without my mascara on! Otherwise I just feel eye-bald. Don't bother with anything else though..
    I often see a few women with their hair down, which I don't understand one bit, my hair is either in a plait or tied back well out of my face.

    But we're there to just do our thing not look our best! And we're gonna sweat.. we are human after all!

    This has been my weakness for aaaaages. I tell myself not to worry about my appearance but I just can't help it.

    I'm always self-conscious at the gym. I'm self-conscious all the time. Whether I'm drunk and glammed up or sweating it out.
    It's a self-esteem thing I'm working on, haha.

    However. Being self-conscious is fine as long as it doesn't affect your workout!
    Last year I was so self-conscious that as soon as I started to sweat, I would finish up and leave.
    Now I just carry on anyway. Look sweaty and yucky with my lack of make up now and I'll be able to look even better later on after it all pays off! :)

    I typically go after work so I already have some on. On weekends not really, maybe just mascara/liner as someone might want to take my pulse to check for signs of life if I don't.

    However, take notice of those all dolled-up; they're either not really trying very hard as they're there to find a mate...sad really as guys see thru this and if they're not the type of guy that does, then they're not worth your time....orrrrrr they just don't have the confidence to let go of the Maybelline for a lil while and focus on their physical health and well-being.

    What you should do is focus on YOU! Focus on the task at hand and that in itself will shine thru like no dolled-up face could ever do! Someone truly worth getting to know, whether it be as a friend or otherwise, will see what matters to you and that will come across as the healthy kind of confidence that we should ALL have!.

    Keep your chin up ladies! We're worth it!
