I was looking in the mirror when I was practicing some strikes when I noticed:

"Gee, this gi makes me look fat."

Which kind of upset me as that though I am no skinny mini, I am certainly not fat. Hell, I've been warned more than once to not "muscle people to get them to do what you want" in class.

So I was looking at some of the girls who look so tiny in their gi. Some are wearing I guess karate gis. Some are just really tiny girls. (We have a lot of women in our dojo).

I then realized that I'm just the biggest chick in the dojo at the moment. =/

I guess its time to up the cardio because I hate thinking "gee, this gi makes me look fat" Which has finally replaced, "oh wow, there go my pants again!"

And like apples more than chocolate cake! =/

But my gi does make me look bigger than I am.

(p.s. I've been doing a lot of reading on here but I know where I train, we end up dripping in sweat by the time its over. I could ring my gi top out like a towel after practice. I don't understand the people who say that Aikido doesn't give you a work out.)
