Going to the gym...

Now I am a thin person.. some would say extremely thin but I disagree. Just thin.. and I accept that.

I recently started going to the gym and when I told people this, they immediately asked me one of two things:
  1. Why on earth would you want to go to the gym?? You'll disappear!
  2. To lose weight or to gain weight?

Now to people of the first category.. Hello? Going to the gym is not equivalent to wanting to lose weight! You can go there for general fitness too ya know! Exercise leads to a bigger appetite.

As for the others, is there really a need to ask such a question? Do I look demented to you? Do you really think even for a moment that I would consider spending an hour or so everyday to lose weight? I don't need a gym for that! I can do that with completely no effort on my part whatsoever..

So, of course, I tell these same people that I'm going to lose weight (with a completely straight face, mind you) and they totally fall for it. And at this point they become people of category 1. Its ridiculous.
