why are people so judgemental? its usually the girls who make catty comments. this one chick at my gym is like my size (but she has no boobs/ass so she thinks she's skinny) and she keeps making fun of me. like whispering and stuff. i try to ignore her but its gettin really annoying.
people have confidence issues. i swear.
everyone....be nice at the gym.

i'm sure women at the gym have plenty of catty things they'd like to say to me but they're too afraid because they know i could kick their arses.

jask i'm sure you look great so blow off the whispering and take it out on the weights - you'll be amazed at how much more you can lift:)

jask, the only reason another girl would make fun of you is if she sees you as a threat - she probably realises you look better than her. Ignore her, hit the weights and make her feel even more stupid when you rise above her level.
And if that fails, get howdie over to sort her out :)

Great post PL...absolutely right. Its alot easier said than done to just ignore it though. I've been the victim of letting little comments get to me in the past. Jask, its okay to let it bother you, but don't play into it and don't show this person it bothers you. The more you practice that, the more you'll begin to not let it bother you. You're probably dealing with an irrational person anyway.

ya i know....its that whole "zen" technique. just say "its cool, whatever" to any comment she makes. then she'll just leave me alone.

it turns out that my hunny knew her (they went to high school together). and she asked him out but he didnt wanna go out with her or something like that. so now she's just taking it out on me. how immature can you get?

but she's not worth my time/effort. i'll just ignore her. i look better than her already and i got a hot guy. she needs to grow up and loose the attitude.

serenity now, sanity later. haha

that chick is also saying that i'm anorexic (since i've dropped a whole 2-3 pounds since i started going to the gym like a month ago). she needs her head examined.

i could always just go to another location. i'm in between these 2 fitness world locations so i can go to either one easily. but that would be like letting her win. i aint gonna take it (no i said i aint gonna take it, i'm not gonna take it ANYMORE!) haha

when are women going to learn that acting like jealous psycho hose beasts is not attractive? just wondering...

you'd be crazy to switch locations, don't give her the satisfaction. ft members don't give in - EVER!

lose 3 more pounds, she will go insane!

Maybe you should get a miniskirt and do bicycle crunches in front of the studio mirror? (this is in reference to another post, not a slight directed at you).

Lift heavy, wear headphones and ignore the shit out of her - it will give you a better workout and drive her nuts.

Damnit when will you people leave me alone about those bicycle crunches. My mini was not that short. :angry::angry::angry:

ha hahah ahha...That's good stuff Tim. Not many people would remember that. I don't even know how I know about it. And the mini WAS that short. If there was a mini at all, it was too short. I like the idea about a mirror being there though. Motivation in it's purest form

charlie, you're not fooling any of us, only yourself. the mini WAS that short and i have the video footage to prove it - and DNA samples. put that in your etouffe and chomp on it with your cupcakes.

...i think i saw that lady yesterday, but like i said before, the part of her i'd recognize is not her face...
