@RT_Nomad That’s absolutely impressive. Thanks for sharing.
@Njord i want to be those people too. It’s also part of the reason I am giving up the ego lifts but still grinding hard with more reasonable weight. “light weight babay!”

Definitely. I’ve had similar thoughts but went the trt route with Sermorelin and am considering it a second puberty of sorts. I’ll be 41 in a few weeks but my joints have never felt better after months of Sermorelin. I plan to run it for a few years and then slow down, entering my second half with a refresh from what amounts to the fountain of youth. I’m hoping it will carry me for a while once I do stop and then slow down.
My supplements are primarily generally health based at this point too. Some protein, flameout, superfood, joint supps for the HGH boost to utilize et cetera.

Sad part is he probably gets his diet from his family. Was proably raised that food is food and not that certain types literally kills ya.
When I see beer bellies, I only know that I would rather have a bullet through my brain than belly fat. I filed an advanced directive with my primary care physicians that I do not want any treatment, even if it is lifesaving, if it will cause me to gain body fat. The dignity of refusing to eat the way commercial food programs everyone to eat is more important to me than a long life with ugliness in my own body. I consider a round belly as vicious a disfigurement as amputation of sex organs.
It is not just the belly fat, it is the junk pop culture entertainment industry that goes with it.
This never happened.

The kid is autistic or something, he has said this, so don’t be such a meanie.
Why dont you help him? Stop complaining,
you’re being a whiney nancy. Invite him to the gym, offer him or show him better meal substitutes. You know this guy? What he’s gone through, or going through? Everyone’s wired different, that’s what makes us unique. I don’t know your story, but I don’t judge. I’ll take it as I see it n go from there. .
How exactly do you expect someone bring up this conversation?
“Hey there fellow 350lb individual, you look like you might want to weigh half as much as you do - would you like some help?”
On a serious note, he ended up talking to me about weight loss and all that jazz a few weeks after I made this post. According to him, he only eats when he’s at home and he only eats chicken breast, vegetables, and white rice.
Mind you, I have seen him put down the exact foods listed in my original post on multiple days.
I cannot give the reality check this individual needs to see what their problem is, and confronting a coworker saying “yeah but I see you eating candy and chips in the break room every day” is quite combative, considering I really do not know this person that well.
Nah, give it to him. If he can’t take it, that is his problem.
Always be honest. You don’t have to be a dick, but be honest.

Most all my coworkers had bad eating habits and some were quite overweight. I never ate any of the “vendor” donuts and pastries. But I never commented on their decisions or any of their eating habits. I just commented by my actions.
(Note: I should say that I started work of my career in 1971, where most all the employees would say to me, “Once you quite working out all that muscle will turn to fat.” I mean, what do I know?)

I think I remember @Chris_Shugart telling a story about meeting Bernardi and trying to justify his habits, and got the response “How’s that working out for you?” Ive used that and it’s kind of the meanest nicest things you can say.

A lot of people don’t know how to do this, and are really proud to be a straight-shooter, tell-it-like-it-is person when really they’re just a dick with no idea how to effectively communicate.

I agree. Their concept of honesty is based on how they feel. Not something objective.

That’s because reality gives us reality checks. Unfortunately, for many, that check comes when they are lying in a hospital bed. For some, not even that makes a difference.

That goes both ways. Not to sound sexist, but is there a kind way to tell a woman she’s overweight? You’re an asshole regardless of how you package it.

On this note, people like to quote The Prince and say “Its better to be feared than loved,” but he goes on about how you shouldn’t allow yourself to be hated. It changes the whole meaning.
