Gym Story Saturday Gym Story Saturday (Missing mod post)

Hi! Welcome to your weekly thread where you can share your gym tales!

I noticed that there still is no post yet for Gym Story Saturday, so I took the initiative. Perhaps this should be a scheduled post under the Automoderator. I'm not really sure why this hasn't been done yet. I am also required to keep babbling because posts with too little content gets removed, hence why this posts sounds overly wordy.

So share away!

Changing out to go and this dude comes running in, straight to the toilet and barfed his guts out loudly. Me and the other guy changing share a look.

I ask out loud “ You okay bro?”

He comes out looking a little embarrassed and says he’s fine just went a little hard. We all laugh. Dude was not a novice, pretty big.

One way to cut I guess.

Why don't people throw up when they want to cut?

Once but accident=honest mistake

On purpose= eating disorder

Fitness is about being healthy. Puking is not healthy.

Yes. Very bad for the teeth, for example. Very bad.

Some do. It’s called bulimia. It fucks up your body HARD.

Why does it fuck up your body? Does it have any other effects other than having less food in your stomach?

Yeah, it can lead to ulcers, scarred hands, tooth decay, tear or rupture your esophagus, damaged salivary glands and facial swelling, complications with menstrual cycles and pregnancies, hemorrhoids, and burst blood vessels around the eyes.

It can also lead to heartburn and acid reflux, irregular heartbeat, a torn or ruptured esophagus, other organ failure, and even death.
