To be honest, I would prefer running outside if I could... I get way more endorphins after an outdoor run than I do on the same run or workout indoors, but I really like the gym personally. It's a place sort of outside time where I go just for one thing, so it makes it really easy to concentrate on just that one…

How so?

I'm a little in love with you right now.

While I agree with how ridiculous this is, I'd feel a lot better about our mocking it if it weren't for that article yesterday claiming Beyonce got a nose job based on about the same evidence...

Haha I did too.

Haha it's like you're in my head!

This. It's really the conditioning that gets to me. I think I can explain it away if say, I can convince myself it would be too hard for my kid or that it doesn't make sense to. But it's still supposed to be this unselfish decision - and especially as a woman there's this idea that I should already somehow be…

Amen. It took me a while and what helped was realizing why I looked at others at the gym - I look because I like their outfit, because I wish I had arms like they do, because I'm jealous of how hard they're going at it. Unless you're freaking talking on your cellphone the whole workout (or whatever you call it... I…

Ugh as you get older/have money security though, I feel like the decision gets harder. If I was 18 and got knocked up, that's a no brainer. No money, no partner, no prospects, etc, of course it makes sense not to have it.

My tricks as someone who went from thinking exercise was stupid and pointless to someone who is compelled to be at the gym 6-7 days a week now

Or people who have multiple health problems or issues. Or people who like to walk. Don't hate on walking for exercise, Smuggy McGee.

I think what they do is amazing - you can drop something in your mailbox and magically in a few days it will reappear across the country for less than 50 cents. It's ridiculous.

Haha so I force myself to live in a dream world where I see that old man as a nice guy idly chatting about the weather this morning rather than some old perv hitting on me and trying to get in my pants?

" If I have to hear one more bitch complain about how hard it is to be so skinny, I am going to eat her."

I chuckled aloud at your last sentence.

Damn, say what you will, but she is looking fantastic.

Ha! I was just chatting about the headphone thing in another thread. Seriously, probably about 75% of the time I have headphones on I'm not actually listening to music... I'm just wearing them so people don't talk to me.

I think there are possibly huge differences based on where you live - I live in New Orleans, where it's par for the course to at the very least smile and nod, or say Morning or Hello to someone as you walk by them on the street. It's not uncommon at all to chat more. It takes me a few days of being in another city…

Dodai, you have a future in coat fetish porn writing.

Okay - in these scenarios, is "talking to a woman" equivalent to "hitting on a woman"? Are we assuming there is a sexual or attraction component?
