There are many great things about losing weight. Clothes fitting better, looking better and just generally feeling good about yourself. There's one other benefit, however that no one talks about, the benefit of going around like a stinky homeless person.
Yes, you read that right. When you go to the gym, most of us are not too concerned with what we are wearing, we just need something we can move in. Right now, I'm wearing a pair of sweats that are at least three sizes too big and a "Happy 4th of July" shirt from Old Navy circa 2005. You know what else? I look great. I walk around after the gym, I go to the mall, I go food shopping or get my nails done in my sweats and old t-shirt and I feel great.
Why, you may ask? I feel great because I'm doing something that not only allows me to wear these clothes, it encourages it. When I notice other people wearing similar get-ups, we share a secret smile, yeah we look like hell, the looks says, but we're coming from/going to THE GYM. There are, unfortunately, other people who dress like this and are neither going to the gym nor homeless. These people we just give a shake of our heads and a sad smile, when will they get it? You can only wear this stuff (if you're not homeless) when you're going to THE GYM.
So, when you see me on the street or in the mall with sweaty hair and an outfit that looks like something you may have thrown out years ago, feel free to be jealous. That's what I learned today.

That is cool
ReplyDeleteI need to be looking this way more often.
I have issues to solve and until then I rely on the kindness of bloggers to take me when available.
