Don't you hate when ...

[lemur]

I hate being a 14 year old around the know it all shits in my school. I get so much shit for not taking candy and chocolate when the teacher hands it out or eating healthy between classes and stuff. I also get flak for skipping the parties where everyone is just getting shitfaced. oh well, it pays off so much more than they can all imagine.

They won't understand, so don't even waste your breath man

I respect your efforts. Your friends obviously do not understand your goals and interests and thats a shame. For one, they are probably immature and uneducated when it comes to building strength and developing a physique. I think that they might be a little jealous about your determination, drive, and the gains you've made. You are obviously a goal setter as your buddies simply do not have the discipline. Just forget about what they say and keep training hard. . .you know your interests so continue to pursue them. My buddies always have been supportive and I have always offered to help them start a program. Of course, none of them have the discipline to pursue a good diet and a strenuous program. There are very few of us ironheads and we should stick together and forget everyone else who disrespects us.

I tell people it's a hobby like anything else. I try to get my brother to lift, but he doesn't want to. I can't believe someone wouldn't want to lift. Getting stronger is the best past time I can think of and I can't believe everyone doesn't do it.
Not to be an SOB, but excess protein can lead to kidney stones.

I feel you man. All my friends tell me I have issues and need professional help because I rather go to the gym then sit around and smoke pot with them. If you ask me thats biggest waste of time I can think of.

i lift for ME...

I get that all the time at work about eating, meanwhile everyone at work is overweight and tired by 12:00 - me - I'm full of energy and for my age look better than anyone else who is younger than me - there isn't one person that believes how old I am - and I am constantly on the go - once in a while someone will come up to me and tell me about what they ate the day before and how proud I would be of them. They call me a fanatic. I work out religously and read these boards like its my bible. People say I don't eat - meanwhile I eat all day, more than most people, but I don't eat all the junk - just clean food - go figure
