I got sent home from the gym because of my ‘inappropriate' leggings – I'm just existing in my God given thick body
LEGGING IT OUT People argued she might as well have been naked A WOMAN has sparked controversy after revealing she was sent home from the gym over her "inappropriate" outfit. Erica took to Instagram to share a video of herself working up a sweat as she worked on her legs. 2 2 However, she did so while wearing a pair of grey leggings and a matching gym top - both of which clung to her figure. Over the top of the clip, she wrote: "She doesn't know it yet but the gym is going to send her home because her outfit was inappropriate." In the caption, Erica added: "Simply for existing in my God given body". She concluded with the hashtags "#bodypositivity #gymgirl". However, people in the comments were divided as to whether Erica's ensemble was actually inappropriate or not. "Small or big, I don't understand wearing clothes that make you look more naked than being naked," one wrote. "Those thin leggings that go up the crack are so gross!" another raged. " Gym clothes that look painted on are gross on anyone," a third commented. "It was inappropriate. Because she was not wearing underwear. And the leggings were far too thin," someone else said. "Yeah. It was inappropriate." I tried the Tinder for fitness - I met my perfect match & learnt to do chin-ups in 8 weeks "Girl be for f**king real. "It looks painted on lmaoooo my God!" "God didn't give you that body…. You made it !!" another insisted. "And those are see through pants duh." "It's inappropriate for ANYONE!" someone else said. "What outfit? She's naked," another wrote. What is body shaming? BODY shaming is described as "humiliating someone by making inappropriate or derogatory comments about their body size or shape". In addition, "commenting on a person's clothing, body hair, eating habits, make-up skills or attractiveness" could be constituted as body shaming too, PsychCentral explained. While body shaming has become more of an issue in recent years, a study conducted by Glamour magazine in 2000 found that a staggering 97 per cent of women surveyed admitted to having an "I hate my body" moment. And those who shame people about their figures can include doctors and medical professionals too. A 2019 report found that more than 3 in 5 adults encounter "weight bias" from their doctors - particularly those who are obese. And body shaming someone can have massive effects on their mental health, and could potentially lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, eating disorders and self-harm. If you have been body shamed and are struggling to deal with the effects, you can call the Samaritans on 116 123 for confidential, emotional support. "All these women perplexed and claiming normal gym clothes," someone else added. "NO she is wearing those pants that go up the buttock cheeks making it look like you're NAKED. "I'd those were a little more skin colour, I'd think she's naked. Why do those women who wear them think they are flattering?? "No matter what shape or size, let's stop normalising these shorts, pants and wearing nothing but bras to the gym." However, others insisted Erica's ensemble was more than suitable for the gym - and no worse than anything anyone else wears. "She's wearing gym clothes though…what is she supposed to wear?" one questioned. "She's wearing what literally all of us wear to the gym. "I would ban any man with no decent sense of control!" "Girl I'm so sorry these comments do not pass the vibe check," another added. "This is an average gym outfit I see everywhere around me 4x a week at the gym." "She's wearing a normal gym outfit i'm so confused as to why people are acting like it's inappropriate??? "Why do women need to wear baggy sweatpants and a baggy tee to work out…. "This is a perfectly normal, modest outfit for the gym."

‘Do you overshare here often?' Why revealing too much on a first date could be a red flag
Name: Floodlighting. Age: The term – said to be coined by the author and psychologist Brené Brown – is new. The toxic dating practice it describes may have been going on for longer. Floodlighting? Let me guess, is it taking a first date to the evening football match at Anfield, although you know they are an Everton supporter? Er, no. OK, I give up. It's about oversharing personal information very early on in a relationship, or even before it has begun. Like what? A floodlighter might talk about difficult previous relationships, childhood trauma or their parents' divorce, for example, to someone they have just met. Isn't that just being a bit vulnerable? Well, yes, but it's about utilising that vulnerability, deliberately or subconsciously. 'It involves sharing a lot of personal details all at once – to test the waters, speed up intimacy or see if the other person can 'handle' these parts of you,' Jessica Alderson, the co-founder of the dating app So Syncd, told Glamour magazine. So it's emotionally manipulative – the opposite of being vulnerable? That's what the actor and podcaster Becca Tobin says. 'It presents as somebody who's very open and very vulnerable. When they overshare a lot right up front … they're floodlighting you, flashing these lights into your face. Essentially, it's their armour to make you think they're very open.' Gosh, dating these days is so complicated, with all these catfish and ghosts and who knows what else flying around the place. I don't know if I can even remember what 'hoodfishing' is. More of a 2024 thing. Hoodfishing means lying about where you are from in order to get a credibility boost. That's it. 'Why aye, man, I'm fae Newcastle – you're interested now, aren't ya, pet?' Hmm, maybe. Then there's 'throning'. Scrolling dating apps on the loo? Dating only people who will raise your social status. Ah, a fancy way to describe gold-digging. Rich and cool aren't the same thing. If you say so. Anyway, floodlighting seems worse – deceptive and calculating. That's what Alderson says: 'It can lead to the person on the receiving end feeling overwhelmed and even suffocated.' What's next? Has waterproofing been turned into a dating term yet? Don't think so. Yet. It was so much easier in the old days. Oh, here we go, grandad. I know, if you liked someone, you asked them for a dance, had a few pints, didn't say much, then got married ... Do say: 'I'd love to hear all about it. Next time. Maybe.' Don't say: 'I know we've only just met, but there's a couple of things I need to tell you.'
