What Not to Wear to the Gym

Now I am certainly not one to judge people at the gym. Heaven knows I have a gooey belly stomache that sticks out, thunder plump thighs, and Relief Society extra arms that flap in the air conditioning. But I am appropriately aware and ashamed of these things, at least enough to hide them as best as possible. I just flat out refuse to wear a sports bra and pink shorty-shorts to the gym.

There are those at the gym that do feel differently. Today, for example, I found out there are men who not only have hairy shoulders, but display them in public. (OK, so the guy's shoulders were not as hairy as this, but you get my drift…) I also see many, too many, stomaches that I should not see. And I know I shouldn't. Because mine is the same way. Just...keep a little mystery, that's all I'm asking.

dude, at least they were at the gym. i see too much exposed flabby flesh at the mall. people these days! they're just not ashamed enough of their bodies. :) i'm serious, though. teenage girls go around with fat rolls hanging out and think nothing of it. i would have sooner died at that age. (i mean, now, too!)

That is what gets me, the teenagers. First of all, why are there so many overweight kids? I don't remember that in high school. Second of all, low cut jeans and high cut shirts expose way too much skin. And a lot of times, even when the girls are skinny, these clothing items cut them at a very unattractive place. I have no desire to be in high school again, at least not in this day and age. I am an old fart! And Kristi, I remember some real outfits at the gym. Like underwear for shorts in spin class. Yuck. I don't want to sit behind that.

Funny picture, he looks like he is in a sweater. What is up with all the overweight teenagers? You are right Holly about even the skinny girls don't look quite right in their "fashions". So, I'm not the only one that hand picks my seating arrangement at the spinning class? Or how about the fake boobs at the gym...Yeah, we see them!

Oh, this morning I flipped a breast pad out of my gym bag (for all to see) and I thought of you :)

Living in Dallas in the hot summers, (as I am sure you do in Austin) you get to see A LOT of skin. I am just as shocked by too much skin, as way too tight clothes on way too big people. Sometimes tight clothing can show just as much. Oh, and some people just need to wear padded bras, if you know what I mean.

breast pad - nice heather. and i agree kristi, people aren't ashamed of themselves enough.

I think people dress their kids slutty from a young age. I can't believe OLD NAVY's scimpy bikini's for little girls, it really makes me sick. I've noticed even girls in the ward never really look covered up.

Oh boy that is one hairy beast with a #3 on his back.

You find the most hilarious pictures! Devin found something on Amazon the other day called the man groomer. Basically it's a big long razor to shave the rug some guys have on their back. ick.

That hairy back guy is totally the worst thing I've seen in a while. But maybe I haven't been to the gym lately!

Mel said...
