how do you deal with fat friends and family or thin friends and family who just HATE you for being a health freak? They act like i'm anorexic but I eat like 2500-3000 cals a day since i do intense strength and cardio...

just because I dont go to mcd's with them when we go out to the movies and I buy sushi instead or just buy a bottle of water at the movies instead of 5 chocolate bars and soda and nachos.. or when my dad orders pizza i just make like a stir fry of veggies/tofu/eggs...

they get so furious and RAGE on me.. how do yo uguys deal with it? Im getting FED UP of th extreme hate from all the humans that i like... Is our society this FUCKED that im the only person out of hundreds I know that hate healthy eating and exercise? are they all this naive?

I'm in the same boat, in Europe by the way (Thanks amerikkkana)

Basically they try to undermine my routine THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME. I used to hate it and rage, now I feed off that feeling of being "enlightened" and use their hatred to fuel my motivation even more

tl;dr resistance only makes my penis harder.

Move out. Getting my apartment was the only way I could deal with it. It was either that or get sabotaged at every turn.

I'm on the Rugby and Soccer teams so aside from games and practice I run an hour 4 times a week on my own time and swim for an hour two times a week.

Along with cycling to everywhere I go and the usual upper and lower body strength training.. I'd list all the muscles but that's just fucking gay, you know which i do... upper for Rugby and lower for soccer/rugby.

I play at the college level. I don't need to cut I need te fucking calories so I don't pass out during games or my runs.

Think about your fat parents and friends. There are so many fat Americans, and every morning your fat acquaintainces see their fat selves in the mirror. Therefore, you look abnormal to them. You...

Ahhh... why am I even bothering? You know the reason why. They're jealous.

See picture Europeans.


Anyways, my parents always tell me to eat more. And they constantly berate me for being healthy, like it's a bad thing.

The key is to COMPLETELY ignore them, or just make fun of them for being fat... a lot.

there is an entire division of health/wellness umbrella that deals with the psychology of attaining a healthful way of living.

an entire part that is devoted to 'how to deal with others who attempt to poison or destroy my brothers' on their way to health.

in general, it represents a reflective complex these people (ur hater parents) have with themselves. you are showing them that healthy can be done, which is making them face a realization that their excuses are not valid.

your presence rubs your parent's fatness in their faces

I know how you feel. I was a former fatty. Now I'm in great shape - I do cardio and weights, watch my macros, track calories etc. But, ironically, my family are worried about me, and tell me I should eat more and fear I could be anorexic.

They may have a point about me being slightly OCD about my diet - I do wish I could stop thinking about how many calories are in everything. Yet they are all overweight, and I would much prefer to be the shape I am than they are.

Sometimes I end up lecturing at them about their terrible diets. But then we just argue, and I end up feeling bad because (a) I don't want to make them feel bad about being fat, that's just shitty, they're my family and I love them; and (b) it's their business what they eat.

I have no answers I'm afraid, but you're not alone is all.

it rocks at a subconscious level. you only need to do two things. you need them to respect your choices. and secondly you need to show them quiet resignedness. what i mean to say is you need to shut the fuck up. stop saying lots of words to talk about your healthiness to them. What's the point? They obviously do not want to listen to those words.

remember school classes on a subject you didn't understand? Your eyes glazed over, all you want to do is get out, away, your brain turns off and screens out the white noise? that's what you are being like to them.

Now the proper way to respond to an offer to go to McDonald's is "no. {silence}". the silence is vital, at this time you will politely WAIT for them to respond. And I mean politely, no fidgeting, no detracting interruptions or sounds, nothing to fuck up their minds grinding to realize you do not want to go to McDonald's. This may take several seconds. Reapply this as needed.

In these cases I would strongly advise to use as few words as possible, the opposite of what you seem to of been doing. Just say .. "I'd rather not". and minimize the explanation why. Block entire paragraphs or entire sentences you would have said formally. bite your God damn tongue. now if they're interested why, then, that is your opportunity to open up a little. If they actually give a damn to your responses, you maybe you can open up some more.

is any of this making sense? Or does it just sound like I'm making shit up out of my ass? less is more. you can't expect a Volkswagen to become a race car right away.

Fucking fat people preventing me from escaping their ranks.

Current but shrinking fatass. Most my friends call me a pussy for not eating a bucket of fried chicken. Fuck them. I make fun of them for getting fatter and fatter by the day.

I'm still a fatass but I've lost 50 pounds. I lost 50 pounds by working my butt off at a gym and managing my diet. Every time someone asks if I want some disgusting processed shit, it makes me rage.

tl;dr I feel OPs pain.

I keep getting told by older family members, "That health stuff is doing nothing good for you."

They keep snarling at me like I'm a weirdo.

All I'm doing is eating stuff like eggs and lean chicken breasts. Basic knowledge of what their food contains eludes them.

I keep getting offered refined food like chocolate and candy, like they haven't noticed. I'M TRYING TO KEEP OFF THAT, STOP TEMPTING ME.

Man that felt good to vent. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that feels like public enemy number one for trying to live a healthy life.

I used to be a fatty...

I used to wonder why fit people used to seem agitated by me.

Now I understand completely. I don't care about people eating horrible shit in front of me. It's when they hound me to join in, and taunt me for eating right and exercising.

Indeed OP... WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? It's not just America, it's the entire developed world.
