Next. The money you save, spend on me. Third. Why do I lie so much? Fourth...I bet you have been on FB, looking through my pix, looking for my chubby knees... Five. I mean fifth. Forgot what I was gonna say... and Finally, if you can alternate kegals with sphincter exercises then you are my hero. Maybe I'll just go leave something obnoxious on your wall...

Might be cheaper for you to wear large baggy sweaters instead of buying Larger clothes. Unbutton any buttons you have to, noone will know. Unfortunately it gets a little warm in Fl and up north in the summer. You might stand out wearing your heavy wool knit but who cares, right? Dress like this long enough and you'll probably sweat off the weight without using a gym or working out. Years ago I had a complete gym at my home. I used s stair climbing machine every day for 1/2 hr., for a couple years. I don't remember the particulars, somehow my daughter NEEDED it and got it. The next time I saw it she was putting it to a new use. Her bedroom was pretty tidy. Clothing and lots of other stuff was hanging from the now Storage Rack, catchall. I guess it's new use would serve a different purpose. At that time, she should have stuck with the gym. Loved your article.

As if having a gym membership is a BAD thing simply because you couldn't use it! If you had set a goal, with a deadline, and tuned into the reason WHY you had the gym membership in the first place, then you would have gotten a lot of mileage from that membership. Consider "Getting back on the wagon" and really commiting to yourself with a well established goal. You'll love yourself for it! Kudos again on the humor in your writing. I still enjoyed it as a good read!

I once joined a "club Nautilus" gym. It was in the 1980's and club workouts were the big thing. Well, I was into big things so I took out a lifetime membership. I felt too gawlked at by middle aged men and quit after 2 weeks. Turns out the gyms lifetime wasn't very long either. They went belly up after one year. Not a pretty picture! P.S. I loved your ending! I could just picture the look on your face. Jenny, this article was so on target! I once joined a “club Nautilus” gym. It was in the 1980′s and club workouts were the big thing.

How much money have I thrown down the toilet? An answer I, and my husband, would rather never know! Thanks for finding the humor in the ever-humiliating task of trying to cancel! You are the best.

Now I must be going--off to the gym, NOT! Like I need to pay $30 dollars to make myself feel guilty and lazy--makes no sense. Love the blog--huge fan of sarcasm.
