My family does not get it, HELP!!!

excellent excellent thread. One of the bests I have seen in quite a while here. Ghede's posts is right on, with me havig experienced pretty mucht the same issues and phases, (including the odd "you are using up too much time at the gym, you are never here" comment).

I love the phrase "I am absolutely addicted to the person I am becoming", it truly represents the feeling and the motivation factor behind the whole deal. Truth is, cutting or bulking, the motivation should be self-fueled and self-sustained. Anything else will sooner or later fail.

I don't have any great advice in the life department. I do want to congratulate you on changing your lifestyle. I feel so much better, and carry myself with more confidence, when I know I am in good shape. I am sure you feel the same way. I know the lifestyle is not for everyone. I try to share my love for fitness but not many have the dedication to stick with it.

Many people have questioned why I am so into fitness. I try to explain that I am trying to be the best person I can be mentally and physically. I wish you the best of luck in balancing family and personal life.
