Now That Was Embarrassing



Recommended Posts

Last night I decided to do the cycling/spinning class at the gym for the first time. It is done in a small room, with 4 bikes on each wall, facing inward. The class wasn't very full (the eating season has begun, the exercise season starts in January!) but somehow I wound up directly across from the 3 guys in the class. There were 3 other women plus the instructor but I had a couple of bikes between me and the nearest person - just kind of worked out that way.

Well, throughout this whole class, I kept having this feeling that one of the guys in particular was looking at me. It is natural since we were more or less across from each other, but everytime I looked up, he looked away which made me very self conscious. I thought one of the others was checking me out too, but it wasn't such a big deal and I started thinking that I was just imagining it all.

I had checked myself out in the full length mirror before leaving the ladies locker room, so I was pretty sure that I was put together okay.... I was wearing a new Champion T shirt that I bought on sale at Target. It was a little tighter then I usually wear (grrr... didn't try it on first but for $6 I figured it was fine).

Okay, I thought it was odd, but oh well.

I got home, went into the bathroom and looked into the mirror ... you guessed it.. major headlights in that too tight shirt.

I was mortified. He was probably looking at me like I was some kind of weirdo.

That room was small and they had the windows open/kept it cool due to the heavy sweating in this spinning class. I am sure it was quite visible and I felt like I wanted to crawl in a hole, but of course it was too late by then! I WAS planning on going back to that class again.... lol

No reason to crawl into a hole. Be proud of you new body and like skinnyness said it probably gave him/them some extra motivation.

Ok, This Post Is No Good Without Pictures ;)

I think if Nipple Hard On is the biggest worry these days.. Well, flaunt those NHO's and have a big smile while you do.

Ahh, yes, the quick eye-avert. Standard male duck blind for lower brain behavior. I have to fight taking the second look all the time, can't help taking the first look and don't feel guilty (as long as it isn't too long. :rolleyes:)

At least he didn't stare on regardless, disrespectful pig style.

Awwwww, come on girlfriend - i don't think he was looking at you like you were some kind of a weirdo - he probably just thought - ohhhhh check those tits out :lol: ;)

Headlights - well those 2 were non-caloric - get it headlights (donuts) - mind still can go there :lol:

that class sounded great - next time wear your old size 3X tee shirt :lol:

its ok to "strut your stuff" ;)

keep it UP :lol:

Okay, time has eased my feelings of embarrasment. Besides, I figure as long as I don't wear the same shirt nobody will even recognize me so I don't need to change gyms or anything. :)

I so feel your pain! My son's swim teacher from last summer was hot as all get out. Mind you, I'm probably old enough to have birthed him, but like my grandma said once, I'm not dead yet, so I can look all I want!

The day of the second lesson my son totally freaked and ran out of the pool to plaster his wet little self to me. I was wearing a white shirt. I can't stand lined or padded bras so I was a one woman wet t-shirt contest. Me and my 40 year old, unaltered mom boobs... talk about a no-win! ;)

Live and learn, right?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
