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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
