Dear Miss Sports Bra & Tight Yoga Pants,

I understand that you have worked very hard to get to your six-pack abs, and killer butt.  I must give you credit for that. Of course, you’re young, and I would guess that you haven’t had children. If you were my age, with three kids, and had rocking abs, I’d give you a lot more credit! However, as great as your abs are, other patrons of the gym would appreciate you wearing more than just a sports bra and tight yoga pants when you work out. 

By patrons, I mean women like me who are literally sweating their butt off while running on the elliptical wearing an old Colts tee shirt and faded track pants, who have had kids, and have the battle scars to prove it. We can’t help it that we have stretch marks bigger than your waist, or that our girls aren’t perky. We are the majority of the women at the gym, and we are trying very hard to get back into the jeans that haven’t fit in over two years.  When you come in wearing next to nothing, and then coincidentally, “Fat Bottom Girls” plays, it’s just a little too much. It makes us want to choke you, go home and eat a pint of Ben & Jerry’s!

Yes, you have great abs. Yes, you have a great butt. Yes, your sports bra is cute. But, it’s still called a bra, and therefore, a shirt should be worn as well.

Signed,
The Hot Sweaty Mess on Elliptical #7
