Im taking a bit of poetic license with the letter GI really wanted to write about something that happened last nightAnd using G for Girl was the only way I could do that AnywayOn to the post
As you know My Mam was diagnosed with osteoporosis recently In her hips and spine The doctor told her That weight bearing exercises would helpSo we have been on the look out for suitable courses and classesWe found a Pilates class about half an hour from our houseMy Mam rang the lady And she sounded very good So we put our names downThe first class was last night So we donned our work out clothes And headed out
We arrived at the leisure center just before 8pmAnd waited in reception for the previous class to finish It was very busy Lots of people in and out But one particular girl caught my eye She was wearing gray leggings And a gray topAll her clothes were very tight The first thing I noticed Was that she was extremely thinHer hair was white blonde And she was so pale she was almost translucent I didn't want to stare at her my eye kept being drawn to herAfter a few minutes waitIt was time for the classWe walked upstairs To the room where it was being held Grey Girl as I will call her also went up to the roomThe instructor greeted us She had wild curly hair And looked so fit and tonedLike her muscles were rock hard It turned out that is was just us three in the class There were three large mirrors on the wallAnd I kept taking sneaky glances at Grey GirlThe teacher asked us if we do any other exercise I told her about the swimming And Grey Girl said that she walks and runs But that she has two small children And didn't always get to do itShe sounded confident Sure of herself But I couldn't help but wonder if she had an eating disorder Grey Girl said that she had done Pilates before But it was years agoThis also made me wonder As it sounded like she used to exercise But had to stopAnd now she was just starting againI don't knowMaybe I am way off the markBut I've always been able to recognize a fellow sufferer Then of courseI felt like a right heffer beside her I compared our thighs in the mirror_UWhere our bones were visibleIn factI was totally distracted by her during the whole class
I guess I was triggered by this girl This morning I asked my Mam if she noticed anything about Grey Girl She said that she had noticed how thin she wasInitially I felt jealous of the girlAs sick as that soundsI wanted to be that thin tooBut My mother said we looked very similar It's going to be hard if she is in the class every weekMaybe I am wrongMaybe I am presuming without all of the factsI hope I'm wrong I really do
