Here's the thing - I understand that people work out and sweat. And because of this sweat they feel the need to shower. And, because they happen to be at a gym, that offers showers, they feel it makes sense to disrobe and then clean off. Again, I'm okay with all of this. But, here's what I'm not okay with - the public display of disrobing. OH MY GOSH. People, I don't know if you don't have loved ones if your life, who will speak honestly to you, or if you think sagging body parts are normal, but please, let's do the whole naked thing locked in a bathroom stall, in your car or anywhere, but in the freaking area you have to walk through to get to the bathrooms.
So, I'll be honest, I've been frequenting the locker room at the gym in order to weigh myself and monitor the lack of weight I'm losing after having a baby. (The weight would be coming off except for the fact that I'm hiding another small child in my boobs. I'm not sure the due date, but I'm pretty excited, as is the husband, to be having a set of twins in the next few months.) Anyway, it seems like every time I enter the locker room some creepy woman is just standing there waiting for me to enter...and then it happens. You know what I'm talking about - the awkward eye contact that is made to say from her end, "Yep, I'm naked from the waist up. Pretty cool huh?" And from my end, "I'm making eye contact so I don't have to look down and throw up."
I just don't get it. I know, I know the first grade answer of, "We all have the same parts," but I got to be honest, my parts might be the same but they don't look the same as these National Geographic escapees.
Please creepy women, do me a favor, and let's cover it up.
