Does this annoy anyone else? I hate going to someone's house for dinner and all they want to talk about is why I only want to eat the steak or chicken and why I don't like to cover my potato with sour cream and cheese. Or how can I eat tuna fish and rice without Mayonaisse and how come I have to eat every 2 hours and blah and how can I eat steak everyday and blah, blah, blah. Or when your eating with a group of people or family and your girlfriend or mother has to tell the group about every last food that you don't like to eat. Why can't people let me eat in peace?...    | ||

Amen, my brotha!.....ESPECIALLY when those people are so out of shape and fucking clueless! And the worst part is, THEY DON'T LISTEN TO A WORD YOU HAVE TO SAY! I mean, why bother questioning something, if you really DON'T CARE ABOUT what that other person has to say?!......so unless, these people truly want to learn something, I just ignore them or tell 'em I'm allergic or something like that. ------------------ [This message has been edited by bikinimom (edited January 16, 2001).] | ||

How about your own wife and children? They give me shit all the time. I even do the shopping so that I know what were eating. I'm going to instill healthy eating habits in them even if it kills them. I carry a cooler full of my food to work, and people look at me like I fell out of a tree or something. And yes, they are usually fat mouth breathers. ------------------ | ||

Zebo, my brother - I don't force my hubby to eat healthy. He is grown and has been around me long enough to realize what is good for him. When he is ready to diet, I help him...otherwise I hold on to the love handles and enjoy the ride!  The kiddies on the other hand, don't have a choice. I back up the food choices I make for them with facts ie "Candy, etc is NOT food - it is a TREAT to be eaten only AFTER you have had your fill of GOOD FOOD that your body NEEDS! It will rot your teeth, give you a stomach ache, will not help you grow healthy and strong, and will spoil your appetite for food that WILL help you grow!" Then they understand RIGHT QUICK! And don't worry about those big-mushy-butted-slobs.....hot ladies with hard bodies find those little cooler OOOOOOOoohhhhhhh soooo sexy! ------------------ | ||

i am total agreement on this surprisingly serious thread coming from Stick Dog. Fortunately the only place I get shit for my eating habits is at work. I eat a chicken breast sub every single day at work and basically every day I get called subway guy or some retarded shit like that. and heaven forbid i go put down a protein shake, that seems to just destroy people. all "what is that powder you're putting in?" "is that one of those slim fast powders" "why do you do that are you trying to lose weight" "why do you drink so much water" "do you want to go to taco bell today for lunch" no shit for brains it is protein for growth now leave me alone and finish snacking on your cookies and your bucket of lard, biznatch. i will kill you. ------------------ | ||

Thanks Bmom.... The other thing that gets to me is the grandparents. While we are fortunate that both my wife's and my parents live in the same city as we do, they are the ones who give them all the snacks, cookies, candy, cokes and crap! Now they expect it. Also, being from a southern family ( fried everything) doesn't help. ------------------ | ||

The only grief I get is about the smell of tuna when I open them at work. ------------------ | ||

Try opening a bowl of 6 cold scrambled eggs at work and see the reaction. | ||

quote: hehehe..I like that one.. I'm used to being picked at for everything I ate...in my younger years 13-20 I was a vegetarian (peso/lacto- I ate a shit load of seafood, and dairy...no chicken red meat)...I used to get harrassed for not eating that...now I'm a straight carnivore and eat bloody rare steaks...so immagine the harrasment I get now... My mom was usually the worst...especially when I'm traing for a race or triathalon, or when I was teaching aerobics...she used to say I was to low body fat and thin, then I'd tell her what I lifted and she say I was too muscular, and I was going to hurt myself...but then I started to rip apart her eating habits...Her "3 day diets"..that annoyed her so... now we both shut up...and we are both happier I love people lecturing me on eating habits...I just ask them "oh so what do you feel is heathly diet...and how does that effect you body's metabolic needs?......usually they start talking and I ask them all sort of questions that they can't answer till they shut up | ||

I fuckin knew either you or TD would say something like that! I knew it... My wife is as fresh as a spring rain home boy. Hey Do you have dread locks? I saw a white kid on the Univ. of Del. campus with dreads out the ying-yang yesterday, they looked pretty cool. ------------------ | ||

hehe I hear ya.... Eggs and tuna at work, generally gets me shit. Or, all you ever eat is chicken and steaks. And, when I have protein shake, people are like "how can you put that crap in your body?" Did you guys know that protein was crap? This 400 lb. Nutrition expert at work thinks so. See? You learn something everyday. ------------------ | ||

EAT TO LIVE...NOT LIVE TO EAT! BM- Ever have another mother think you are crazy because you follow those rules with your kids? I have a close friend who thinks I am nuts because I WILL not allow my daughter to eat at McDonalds four times a week like she allows hers too! I thank GOD everyday that my mom and dad passed on healthy eating habits to me! | ||

Believe it or not, I have been accuse OUTRIGHT of "manipulating" my daughters' food supply to keep them THIN!!!!! HELLO!!!! The worst offendors are none other than my very own bitchsters-in-law!.....SKINNY KIDS RUN ON THEIR SIDE OF THE FAMILY! It's just that it has been so long since they themselves were BELOW the 200# mark on the scale that they had forgotten that! I do NOT deny my children junk. They do have access to EVERYTHING - EXCEPT SODA - I see no point in giving ANYONE SODA! We do on occasion go to McD's, but like you said Cybervixen it AIN'T FOUR TIMES A WEEK! We do keep chips, ice cream, chocolate, cookies, etc in the house (Thanx to my dear hubby, hehe) and they have access to it - AFTER THEY'VE EATEN REAL FOOD! Every now and then, my oldest daughter who will be total runway material (tall and BEAN POLE) will consume FAR TOO MANY TREATS. When I explain to her that what she is doing will not benefit her body, it WILL ROT her teeth, it WILL FILL UP her stomach with empty calories, it WILL KILL her appetite for healthy life-sustaining FOOD - USUALLY it makes an impression. Every now and then she gets that glazed over "I'm-not-listening-to-a-damned-word-u-r-saying" look and I pull out the old family album and show her photographs of her father's family.....ESPECIALLY the photos of her AUNTS. NONE OF MY CHILDREN CAN RECOGNIZE THEIR AUNTS FROM CHILDHOOD OR TEEN/YOUNG ADULT PHOTOS! Both my bitchsters-in-law are so damned heavy now, it is an amazingly STARK CONTRAST to how they looked from childhood untill there young adulthood - BEANPOLES, I'm talking OLIVE OIL here. Then I say, "This is what happens if you develop poor eating habits when you are young and continue them throughout your life. You will never have a strong healthy body (apparent from the sickly skinny photos), and your body will continue to rob itself of its lean mass throughout your adult life and not only will you be weak on the outside (apparent from the way my children know them to be today) - think about your heart, THE MOST IMPORTANT MUSCLE IN YOUR BODY......imagine how weak THAT MUSCLE IS! Is that what you want?" The answer is always a horrified, "NO, MOMMY!" This "visual imagery" always helps when my children learn the lie of the food pyramid in school. I require them to learn the answers that the teachers/textbooks give (so they will not get bad grades) then I tell them THE TRUTH. This was difficult at first because I was the information I furnish them is DIRECTLY in conflict with what they are being "fed" in school. I merely say, "Does your teacher look like Mommy?" "No." "Is your teacher as strong as Mommy?" "No." "Can your teacher run, catch you, pick you up and continue to run while carrying you LIKE MOMMY?".....(Some of these women are SEVERAL years my junior having had NO CHILDREN.) "NO WAY!" "OK, then, who do you believe to be telling you the truth?!" ------------------ [This message has been edited by bikinimom (edited January 17, 2001).] | ||

Thank You pretty lady...Very wise indeed! I agree with you 100%. I refuse to have my child die from the fork(eating all the wrong foods all the time)! THIS is not to say that she is deprived either(she and I happen to love M&M's once in awhile)then of course she did help me with that cheesecake a few weeks ago..arrrgh! Gotta have some fun with food ONCE in awhile! I feel that WE are the minority though. I see so much , like yourself, and it makes me soooo damn sad! I feel sorry for those children with parents who have NO CLUE on what healthy eating is about! The next generation of un-healthy eaters! | ||

Boy... We've covered this before & it's worth repeating. I am the scourge of my own family because of my eating habits. I eat my salads without dressing (OH MY GOD), potatos without butter (OH MY GOD), meats without sauces or gravy (OH MY GOD), drink water by the gallon (OH MY GOD), and take my vitamins regularly. Oh, and did I mention that I pack my own lunch with chicken, fruit, yogurt (OH MY GOD). But I do feel great and I was a fat kid for most of my life. I swore that I would never let that happen to my body again, and I have stuck with it for over 20 years now. If I can do it, anyone can! Lift, eat, and be happy! (and feel young) ------------------ |
