Hey ladies...well I have a question I'd like some perspective on. As many of you know, I started my freshman year of college two years ago and thus my membership here started as well. Here is my question...throughout that two years, my freshman year I was working out constantly and was in pretty amazing shape. Sophomore year I was still really active in the fall when I had access to the gym full time. Spring of sophomore year I transferred schools and didn't have access to the gym like I wanted. I put on a few pounds..no more than five. Each year it seems to be harder to keep my weight where I want it. I feel not having access to the gym is a huge reason.
James has a 24 hour fitness membership and rarely goes. Really it's a waste of money since he never uses it, despite being able to bring a VIP as much as he wants.
Tonight we're hanging out, I'm snapping photos of my crayfish and he makes the comment that we should take some new shots for the tilted exhibition. I say no I'm not camera ready. Then we watch a movie and I apologize for putting on some weight. He replies "that's ok." Instantly I'm infuriated. I asked how much and he said a little around the middle. Even more angry. This is so hard for me to cope with. I have not been able to work out on my own like I'd like to because a lack of gym membership and school is starting soon. I feel so bothered by this. I feel that just a few will lead to more and more. I already know I need to start doing crunches and push ups again etc. I just can't seem to deal with this change in my life.
When I was in high school my stomach was always flat, no problem...I was also swimming 3 hours a day. Now it seems so hard because my activity level has declined and I'm much more busy. He doesn't seem to care that I'm unhappy with my imagine despite him having the ability to make a difference.
How did you deal with this change from teen to adulthood? I'm at a loss.
