RE:

I constantly get asked if I'm a personal trainer/aerobics instructor. However, the best one yet was at a party in February, some young kid came up to me and said "are you in the Army, because you're really BUILT!"

:p

RE:

I don't care for the "Do you workout?" question. I always want to say "No, I am like this from sitting on my ass eating all day"...but I don't. Actually, I get the "Are you a PT?" question more often, that one I do not mind. I get asked what gym I go to (no gym membership...just Cathe).

I LOVE the Army comment!

RE:

Well ladies six years ago I was told I have a body like China the wrestler, but now I look like China retired! I think she is isn't she?
Anyway, I have been really skinny since then and now I am fighting to lose 10 pounds. D*mn! I wish I looked like a personal trainer. I am working really hard at it now.


Okay I am finished with my sad story.(I still have legs like China though!)

RE:

I was out one night w/ DH and this guy comes up to me and says "you are fit". I just said thanks, but in my head I was like YEEAAAHHH!!!

People I know see me walking all the time and when I see someone who I haven't in a while they'll say "how did you do it" "do you just walk"? And I laugh and look at them and say no "I do Cathe" and when I tell them what's involved they realize it wasn't a quick fix.

The best is being out somewhere and catching people looking at me because they "know" I work out! That is a great feeling.

How do they imagine walking would give you a toned upper body? Do they think you walk on your hands? LOL!

RE:

I hate that. It's such a stupid comment (just like "you're thin, you can eat ))(insert high calorie junk food here)) and not worry about it" Duh, I WOULDN'T BE thin if I ate stuff like that!

I think some people just like to believe that it's all about genetics and 'the way you are' instead of effort and 'what you do.' It takes away personal responsibility for getting and staying fit and healthy.

I have been working out and eating well for about 4 years now...been with DH longer. DH's family is naturally thin. No need to exercise merely for weight's sake. Maybe everyone assumes I am the same way? "Guilt" by association perhaps? :p

IMO everyone would look like Carole if there was no effort involved! I can't believe someone actually said that to you, Carole! LOL :7 :7 :7

I will have people comment about how I can eat more junk cause I don't have to worry...HELLO!? YES, I most certainly DO have to worry! The more junk I eat the more my hard work goes to waste...Sure I can "work it off" but doing that all of the time is like getting no where...3 steps forward and 2 steps back! No thanks!

a funny thing is i eat waaaaayyyyy more then ppl that comment to me like that. so they assume i have a high metabolism naturally but the reality is i have muscle and it needs to be fed. sometimes they want the food more then i do LOL. but just imagine a little hard work and i can still eat alot. healthy choices MOST of the time of course :)
