I thought about giving her a word or two of encouragement, but decided against it because I didn't want to give the impression that I was just trying to make the fat girl feel good. I hope she sticks with it, though.
you were probably thinking if she sticks to working out she'l look a whole lot better.

Just another reason why I don't go to a gym to work out.

Oh no, I've been offended! Someone needs to save me!

If I had been there those two would have gotten a piece of my mind along with being 86'd from the gym.

We are adults, not playground school children. Everyone deserves respect regardless of their weight/looks.

That should NOT be the attitude.

It should be this:
"If that parasite laughs at me, I'll turn that anger on a machine, beat it to death for 6 months, drop 100 pounds and show him who's better"

My workouts are intense. I always think of my enemies, things in the world I am angry with and I break machines.

Yeah, that would only eliminate half of the idiots that mock overweight people...i dont understand why people feel they have to make fun of other people that are trying to improve themselves.

A gym like planet fitness isn't bad. I go to one and the people there are all ages and sizes. I would say there are more unfit than fit people.

You are going to have to come up with a better excuse than that Reed. How dare you allow these bums to influence your decision. I wouldnt care if i were the fattest person alive. If going to the gym is what i wanted to do, you better believe i'm be there every chance i get.

These clowns get out there to socialize. I dont speak to any of them. The muscle heads wear sleeveless shirts to entice the airheads that flock around looking for a quick lay. I walk in there with my ear piece on...and music blaring, do my work out routine and ignore the entire gym...including the staff. It almost seems like making eye contact with some of these nimrods is an invitation for a conversation. The women want to flirt (um..no thanks I'm married)..the men want to tell you about their protein shake or steroid use (no thanks..dont care). I'm only there for one purpose ..and thats to burn some calories and head back home. Cant wait to convert part of my basement into a gym in the summer.
