Fatass or Genius?

Off Topic

I get shit all the time from girls who go:
“Don’t take protein it’s bad for you I heard people die from them.”

Me: “Where did you hear that”

Them: “Everyone just know…”

I live in a flat with 11 other people, 8 of which are girls. None of them eat breakfast. They will eat cereal for lunch and a sald for dinner. They are all skinny fat and do cardio in the gym. When I suggested a light weight training program they looked at me like I had grown a second head. I forgot that if you are a girl and you touch a weight you turn into Ronnie Coleman.

Dont EVEN get me started on the girl who thought my protein shakes were steroids

That’s what pissed me off. I’ve been told that I have an eating disorder and that I’m setting a “bad example” for my children due to my “diet”, but I don’t fucking diet. I just refrain from eating foods that are absolute shit. I’ve started replying to those comments with “fuck off fatty”. I’m done being nice about it. Why the hell would I be nice to someone who tells me I MUST EAT OREOS to be a good parent? They’re rude so they only deserve rudeness in return.

This makes me think of whenever I tell someone my weight (250’s) they always freak out and tell me I am morbidly obese and will die tomorrow.

My parents are the worst, I love my family, but when I stayed with them for a few days around Christmas time, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. They kept telling me how I need to stop drinking protein shakes and how I need to do some cardio and eat less calories. My parents say “Don’t you have enough muscle? Can’t you just maintain now?” Meanwhile, my older brother is skinny fat, smokes and drinks everyday but they don’t say a fucking word to him.

I routinely bring different meats from home to school, such as home-smoked ham. All the good and big football players and all the wrestlers agree with my choices for lunch. However, everyone else pretty much thinks I am crazy while they eat 3 month old pizza and fake fries from the lunch room. They also say my food “smells bad” as if having real food with real smells is bad.[/quote]

HAHA same. I bring a box of about a pound of mince meat and some brown rice with some taco sauce to make it taste less bland (not optimal, but I’m 18 and living at home), and 5 seconds after I have opened the box there’s always someone on the other side of the classroing going “WTF is that smell”

This has got to be one of the best threads relating to how people act towards us. One of my jobs I work as an EMT and almost everyone here has the worst eating habits in the world, is 300 pounds, or skinny fat. Ironically they all tell me my diet is bad as they sip down Burger King or whatever else they shove in thier mouths.

That’s more or less what I got out of the article as well.

People are just fucking retarded, blind (inentionally) and [blissfully] ignorant. It’s their way of coping with life as undisciplined, lazy individuals. If they admitted their lifestyles were unhealthy, it would be an admission of weakness.

So it’s easier to pretend what they are doing is healthy, and in their best interest. And anybody opposing or threatening that perception must be crazy, obssessed, narcissistic, shallow, stupid, etc etc.

Oh the tragedy. At least it makes all of us look that much more sexy. [/quote]

This is exactly the answer. Healthy is a threat to people so they attack it as if it was something bad. I’ve basically had to teach/train my girlfriend to eat healthy since we’ve been together. My girlfriend’s mother is a BC grad and works at Lahey Clinic, which is a really good hospital in my area. I guess because she works there, the extremely obese and extremely lazy bitch thinks she knows everything, and eveything she thinks/believes is true, no ifs ands or buts. The lady is soo far off when it comes to eating healthy it’s pathetic. My 16 year old sister knows more about how to properly treat your body then this lady.(I’m dead serious). So basically I got this disaster(my girlfriends eating habbits) dropped on my lap. Now they werent that bad. I can’t exactly shit all over her, but before recently, I would never ever label her as knowlegable regarding health. So since we’re been going out I feel as though Ive done a fair job of not only explaining how to change your eating habbits, but why. Iv’e been very up front, I’ve never talked out of my ass(well that she can tell) and if she asks me something that I don’t know. I usually refer right to this site, and have her read it as well as explain it in my opinion. She’s been doing very well for the past 6 months or so regarding her diet. But the thing is becasue shes doing so well shes tried to implement these changes around her house…even going as far to take her little brothers grocery shopping to show them what/how to buy proper food. Not just make a mad dash for the fucking TV dinner section. BUT to this fucking day, the lady just shits all over it and then attacks my family and I. Even going as far as attacking our intelligence, because we’re “uneducated” in her minds…she says that becasue my mother didn’t go to BC, and I haven’t completed college yet…(buuuut she doesn’t know that I found her w2 from last year and my “undeducated mother” makes 13k a year more then she does and is 9 years younger).

I’ve even gotten into semi arguments with her regarding certain foods and health related issues. But the fat bitch just throws her damn degree and job at me as if I should bow down and listen to her because of them.

I don’t know if anyone remembers this a while back but I posted in one of the nutrition theads…This is also the lady that told me that the MB shakes I was drinking were bad for me and could cause me to have a heart attach…and oh she knew what she was talking about becasue 1 of the doctors from lahey clinic said it. Mind you this ladies basically killing her 2 boys because she feeds them shit ie: KFC,McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza up the ass, and TV dinners. Oh she cooks don’t get me wrong…about 3 meals a week.

Anyways to a point people always fear what they don’t know. Even going as far as attacking it as if I was doing something wrong becasue I refuse to eat fast food…oh yeah I’m a Health FREAK in her opinion

Haha right…I bet they think there’s something wrong with you because you refuse to have your kids Bday party at Mcdonalds because you refuse to feed your kids poison. My parents used to/sometimes still do get shit on because of their health decisions with themselves and us kids. But they never really attacked anyone. Sometimes my mom would pull me asside and say something like “see that obese lady that just criticized me?..well in 5 years she’s either goin to have a heart attack or diebetes. Don’t be like that”

Hmphffhh. I did a lecture recently at my gym and brought up the subject of eggs aren’t bad for you, yada yada yada.

This 70 yr old woman came up to me and said, I liked your lecture except the cholestrol bologna about eggs. I got defensive, but quickly changed the subject, because I realized 3 decades of doctors and nutritionists saying eggs are bad for us won’t be changed over night by a young punk like myself.

Some people get it, others don’t.

the manager here at Gold’s asks me for nutrition advice.

My mom wasn’t too fond of my diet being so high in eggs and red meat. Hell, she was reluctant to let me order 100 pounds of grass fed beef. A few weeks ago I went to the doctor’s for a blood test. Results came back and the doctor said everything was perfect. I don’t have the numbers with me but I can dig them up. He said my cholesterol, blood pressure, sugar levels, etc. were all excellent. He said I was basically in perfect condition.

After that I just basically rubbed it in my mom’s face a little so she stopped questioning my eating habits and actually supports me now, which is cool. The doctor even told me that whatever my eating habits are, I should continue them. He didn’t ask me what I ate though but I wonder that if I had told him would he have just changed his mind and attributed my good health all to genetics.

On break at my gym and I see this mother buying her 3 maybe 4 year old daughter an Oreo ice cream sandwich thing. I wanted to say something but held my tongue. Then this guy I respect from the weight room comes out, turns out he is the dad and sits there talking to his kid and wife while this kid is ingesting garbage.

It just bugged me and made me think of you guys. Then again I felt like a fag cause I was eating a Greek Salad from the college.

Peta has published a shi-“study” on how we only need 10% protein intake a day of calories and most of it should be carbs. Aww come on!

I went strict vegetarian for almost 3 years and in the beginning almost vegan (I say almost because I was finding it hard to eliminate dairy from my diet and checking every food item in the supermarket for “dairy”/“animal” content). I did it for health (read = did it to get skinny)…went from 96 kgs to about 71kgs in about 3 months with cardio 4/5 days a week. Felt great from a self esteem point of you but also “not strong” (read = weak as…). Honestly I read every supporting arguement for why “meat was bad” and the “eating macrobiotic/be vegan/juicing diet” remedies, but found these were in the most part stop-gap solutions. Only you know your body’s limits and I agree being consistent is better than trying new “fads”, so if you wanna go vegan it better be for life. Liking/eating meat is not bad, I mean there is a difference between a hamburger and lean steak - this meat-bashing goes for a bit of trip now and again.
