fed up with this.....

[LiftHardOrDontLiftAtAll]

crap from everyone. Nobody I know excepts my lifestyle. I go to the gym almost everday and the inevitable question I always get is why? Why do you workout? Why do you eat 6 meals a day? Because I have to. Because I want to. I have tried to get many people friends and family in on it but they don't stick with it. Too much work. They always perceive what I do as torture. I have been training for 6 years and have come all this way without any support no training partner no nothing. Just wondering how many of you get critisized for living, eating, and breathing this sport

Yeah, my biggest gripe with that is one, my parents asking why I spend so much money on supplements and why I'm so picky when they go grocery shopping for me. Also, when you tell people you go to the gym everyday, they assume you should be bigger than you are, like they know the amount of dedication it takes just to be where I am now...

When i'm at work and i pull out my food and people walk past looking at me, i respond by smilig and showing them what is in my mouth at the time.

I don't care what people think. At the end of the day i'm doing what I enjoy.

I'm a freak and I'm proud.

Who cares what they think.

It's your body and its your right to do what you want to it.

You don't harass them for being flabby unfit morons, so they should leave you alone.

Iknow how you feel. My dad always talks about how much I spend on groceries. I am 17 and don't even look like I workout yet but I am trying. I know i will be pretty large one day. I woulnd't worry what others think, they look like shit.

 

[The Dude]

Simple answer for that: Because I like to, I enjoy it. It's better than sitting on the couch, grazing, and zoning out to reruns of Mama's Family.

The next time your family hassles you, ask them if they'd prefer you to take up an interest in crack and gun-running?
