I can tell you right now I absolutely do not go to the gym when I'm out of shape. The only gym I go to is when I visit my parents gym because my father is part owner of a gym that is really mostly senior citizens. I only feel comfortable going there because I don't feel like older people are really going to judge me as harshly as some of the super in shape people at a regular gym.

I think that's a good question to ask, especially when talking the nature of addiction (whether that addiction be food or drugs or whatever) and it's relation to self esteem.
