Girl with the Pony Tail on the Treadmill:
A REALLY fat woman showed up at the Gym today.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
REALLY fat. Like fat-on-fat.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
She got on the treadmill two over from me, and I wondered if it could even take her weight. I hate when people break the equipment.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
I have to admit: I felt revulsion at first. She was sweating like crazy thirty seconds after starting a slow walk.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
But then I thought: at least she's trying to do SOMETHING about it.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
Maybe she'll actually stick with it, and over the next year I'll watch her slowly get smaller and smaller. That could be kinda cool.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
For a moment I thought about talking to her. Just saying "Hi", you know?
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
Then I thought: what if she talks to me, and KEEPS talking to me? Like all of a sudden I'm her 'gym-buddy'.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
I don't want a 'gym-buddy'. I like keeping to myself at the gym. Just me and the treadmill.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
And I would probably become her Inspiration.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
I don't WANT to be anyone's Inspiration.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
I don't want to motivate anyone. I don't want to offer "You go, girl" encouragement when all I want to do is run off that damn Starbucks Mocha I shouldn't have had.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
And then -- no doubt -- she would tell me about 'bad days' where she stayed home from the gym the previous day and ate ice cream and shit.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
NOT my problem.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
Run more and eat less ice cream.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
I was fat when I was a little girl.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
And now I have an ass men obsess over. I made that happen. Me.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
I still remember being a fat little girl, though. It sucked.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
But I remember REALLY liking ice cream.
(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)
I am Laslo.
