Do you judge people at the gym?

[lauren grier]

I know the unspoken rule is you know.. don't stare at anyone else and don't judge anyone else.

I can't help looking at people It gets boring when i'm resting between sets.. or staring off into space on a cardio machine.

If you're a dude doing bicep curls in the squat rack behind me, yes.. I'm judging you.

if you're the smelly smelly smelly farting guy on the bike next to me.. yes, i'm judging you.

if you're the girl who's been sitting on the leg machine I need, for an hour and not moving, yes.. I'm judging you and plotting to stab you in the eye.

if you're the girl doing some weird.. hop run thing on the treadmill.. yes, i'm judging you.

and really.. the one i 'judge' the most.. Is this stupidly beautiful in shape girl that is always there at the same time as me. Why does my body not look like yours >< she was doing pull ups today and i was like geez i hate you. go away. you're making me feel bad about myself. you may no longer be at the gym at the same time as me.

it all makes me feel very self conscious.. because while I convince myself when I leave that no one cares that my hair is messy, or that i'm going to make silly faces.. there are probably other 'me's' out there who are noticing and noting and judging
