Any of you guys catch hell for being strict on diets?

Wifey & I went through this, & I don't eat near clean enough.
I just told her I'm trying to be healthy so I'll be with her longer. Seemed to work.

simple, walk around with a mirror, when someone bashes you for eating clean whip it out show them themselves and say, "when you have a body like yours you dont need to eat clean, i, i like the way i look naked."

i usually try and make a joke out of it by saying "i don't treat my body like an amusement park. my body is my temple" people will laugh and forget it...most times haha.

it's hard when i have brokers buying my trading desk lunch and they decide to get pizza and i skip out...that's when i get the obnoxious comments.

All the time bro. I get alot of pressure from the family. Also when i'm out with the boys at the bars or restaurants on the weekends.

....people seem to get offeneded when you turn down a shot.

THe worst is when i'm taking a new chick out to dinner though. I've gotten the "that's all you're going to have is a chicken salad", then they seem more self-concious and try and order something healthy.

.....Whatever though, the diet game is a mental game. People that give you shit don't understand the lifestyle, and what it takes to stay diced.

i get knocked more for reading flex or something at work, coworkers see guys in thongs and i get plenty of crap. diet wise, i think everyone is used to me sitting down with a yam and chicken breast while there pounding down mac and cheese or take out..

shrug, that's life

My family has always been supportive of my chosen lifestyle. My father will keep an eye out for deals on protein powder when he's out shopping. My friends still give me crap once in a while out of fun, especially at parties. I'm always hugging the vegi tray.

The worst I usually hear is from co-workers. When you look at the source of the 'ribbing' it's pretty easy to ignore. I've grown so used to hearing 'Damn you're skinny. You need to eat more.' that half of the time I don't even acknowledge that someone is speaking to me. Nine times out of ten it's coming from some cow while they are stuffing their face with a party size bag of Ruffles. It is annoying, but don't let it discourage you. If anything, take it as a compliment. You're obviously doing something right.

I don't get together with family much, so I think having a rare cheat day won't hurt anyone. I don't make it a habit, though.
