Stereotyping in Gym
It is never stated in the gym regulations that girls are not allowed to use the machines provided for building muscle.
still, i get weird looks from people, especially guys whenever i use the dumbbell, working out at those huge iron machines.
that kind of look, ‘ huh? what the hell is she doing with those ‘guys thing’ ?’
or guys whispering to each other, laughing at my direction and when i looked at them, they get embarrassed and stopped. how gossipy can guys be!
ms. novee, i did go through the period when i was extra conscious with it too.
however, i don’t know what went wrong ( or went right? ), i do not bother much now.
ms. novee was puzzled at the things that i am conscious about.
i am fine with myself, approaching the dumbbell section
even if there were guys who busied themselves lifting up the gigantic weight( whatever you call them)
i even lift weights in front of the mirror, like how guys admiring their muscles for long hours
but, i am NOT fine with carrying out myself well normally
i am confused with myself and do think i am weird
why?
my confidence level can be so low that it drives ms. bimbo leong crazy and throws her arms in the air ‘ i gave up! ‘
also, it makes ms. novee having the urge to inject her confidence cells into me and asks ms.bimbo leong to donate some of hers.
p/s: this is quite random. however, it is really hard to look at the numerous types of chocolates and potato chips in the supermarket, at the same time trying to refrain myself to take it to the cashier. and someone even suggested me to go on a strict diet for a week, surviving with fruits and vegetables. *sobs* i really can’t do it at all. how disappointing myself can be sometimes.
u got so fat meh? aiyor.
