Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Today I went and signed off on my gym membership. I haven't gone in ages, and my membership ended 3 months ago, but you have to go in and cancel in person or they keep on debiting your account. I have avoided going in because I knew they would ask me why and I knew that I would be ashamed of being the fat woman not working out. Anyway, this IE process, this forum, the books I am reading, etc. have given me some courage so I went in this morning to cancel. As I expected, I was questioned as to why I wasn't attending anymore and why I wanted to cancel. I told the lovely, rail thin and super fit woman that I was " moving in a direction that didn't include a focus on losing weight, and that gym excersize was too inextricably connected with dieting for me to have it do me any good at all " . You should have seen the look on her face. She was very nice and pretended to get it, but it was clear she was completely gobsmacked. Why would a fat woman not want to focus on weight loss? I considered giving in to embarassment, but in the end I decided to ignore the looks (there were a couple of other gym goers within earshot) and walk out with the courage of my convictions. So there!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
