Title: my job is ruining my bodybuilding
Post by: marty31672 on January 23, 2010, 05:25:38 PM
its mainly women were i work and they are always bringing in food for the most minor occasions.
the food doesnt taste good, its very unhealthy, and it just sits there drying out in the break room all day. not to mention the brakeroom is right next to the toilets like right down the hall from the 2 toilets

at first i declined too eat or would make up an excuse to run an errand or something but now the women are giving me a hard time for not eating there disgusting food. they dont really understand a fitness or bodybuilding lifestyle. and now even my wife is complaining that i'm gaining wait.

my mid-year review was lower than usual and that effects my raise and i think the main problem is my coworkers and boss think i'm stuck up or something so i really dont have any choice but to eat the dryed out cake and 2 day old brownies sitting uncovered in the brakeroom. see the job requires alot of teamwork and interaction with my coworkers and it really effects my work when they are mad at me

anyone else have this problem or have any advise?

I would suggest taking in a vegetable platter and teaching them some healthier eating habits in a non confrontational way.  You have to understand that food is comfort for some.   I had the same problem with people I once works over smoking.  Because I was the only one who did not smoke and I would stay inside.  They all assumed that I thought I was better than them.

Well, the toughest thing for a dedicated BB is to go to your regular job with regular fat, ugly people on a day to day basis. That's even tougher than the training, dieting or injecting drugs.

Set priorities. Do what you love doing (working out, eat healthy, get bigger, leaner better year in year out) and FUCK EVERYONE who doesn't understand your lifestyle and doesn't get you closer to your goals (including friends and family), or give up, and take the easy road by doing what everybody else is doing. Then you'll be accepted and have a much more convenient life, but you'll have to look in the mirror everyday asking yourself: "Who are you?"

Your choice, good luck. (I took the tough road, most working colleagues think that I'm and egoistic, narcissistic, sociopathic asshole, and I'm totally aware of that; So what? ;))

That could be true. I thought that Bluto posted mainly on the X,Y,Z and Entertainment boards. I kinda wondered where he went to, i mean he had like 40k posts and then just stopped posting.  ??? ::)

Protein powder pancakes, Green Beans, D-bol, Chicken with hot sauce, Oatmeal, anadrol.

yes its horrible the lack of sleep/recovery is the worst, having to get up at fucking 630am every day is ruining me, then theres the whole 'what am i going to bring to eat during the day' problem and then it inevitably turns to nearby fast food/cheap crap and then dont get home till 6pm and have no energy, then when im siting there hungry people bring you cake and shit and you inevitably gobble it up and continue to sit on your ass.

FUCK WORK

sorry to hear that but I know its horrible. I work 60 hours a week and commute 1 hr each way to work. It sucks but you have to do it if you want this to be your lifestyle/hobby.

Nobody forces us to do it. Right now with this economy unfortunately a steady job takes precedence imo

If your bodybuilding is being ruined, it's got nothing to do with your job. Plenty of people who train work around people who don't. Unless the cake is jumping into your mouth, you DO have a choice as to whether or not you eat it.

And, not to be harsh, but for some strange reason, I don't think your low reviews have anything to do with your unwillingness to dine on snack food.

As for advice,

1) Concentrate on your JOB, first and foremost. You think you're having trouble now, try buying chicken, pasta, and protein powder, while you're unemployed.

2) If you're getting fat, no one brownie is the cause of that. Your diet needs some work. Unless you're getting ripped for a contest, the occasional piece of cake isn't going to do any damage.

3) If your co-workers don't understand a fitness lifestyle, so what!! They're still people and, if they're your co-workers, learn to get along with them as best you can. It ain't your employer's job to cater to your fitness/bodybuilding aspirations.

I don't know if this is just an "insider" joke, or what? But, if NW83 isn't Bluto, something is fucking wrong. Cause both have identical posting/writing styles.

Same drama bullshit, that has nothing to do with men in thongs.
