Fit People Problems: 9 Things That Happen When Fitness Is Life

Published on May 4, 2016 at 5:25 PM

So fitness and healthy living have taken over your life. Congrats! You'll now understand the day-to-day struggle of being active — things you probably wouldn't have thought of before you started getting fit. Don't worry, though: we're all in this together. These are a few of the things you'll totally relate to now that you're working out on the regular.

You've Got Sports Bra Tan Lines For Days

Or burn lines, if you're especially unfortunate. Good thing it's bikini season! Psych . . .

You're Broke From Spending Your Entire Paycheck at Whole Foods

Eating healthy can be expensive. But it's so good for you! Wait, why is this apple $75?

And at the Gym . . .

Or at CrossFit. Or on your ClassPass. Or on your unlimited studio membership. Or on all those SoulCycle themed rides. AND on all your activewear. This stuff adds up!

Speaking of Food, Yours Usually Gets Cold Because You're Instagramming It

But it's so pretty! The people need to see your layered smoothies and #cleaneats.

You Basically Live Out of Your Gym Bag

You're like a fitness-themed Mary Poppins. Electric toothbrush? Clarisonic? Face wipes? Deodorant spray? A change of clothes (or two)? Check, check, check, check, and check.

But Once You Have More Than One Gym Bag, You Start to Lose Track of Stuff

Wait . . . where is my dry shampoo? Is that in the other bag?! DAMNIT!!

And Then You Stop to Think About the Jewelry You've Lost . . .

RIP, cute midi rings. I thought you were in the gym bag but you're probably in the locker room. Or the showers. Or maybe it was the studio.

Doing Laundry Is a TASK

You need a separate load of laundry (or two) for your 500 pairs of leggings, and you can't ignore them, because they'll start to smell. You've soaked them in your own sweat, after all.

And the Killer of Them All: Doing ANYTHING After Leg Day

Taking the stairs? LOL. Trying to sit down on the toilet? That's cute. But despite the pain and struggle, you know these problems are all par for the course in an active, healthy life.
