It seems that because i like to eat healthy, workout, and am a serious fan of BBing that i am weird in some sorts to the general population.............. . I just wonder how many of you get ridicule and stereotypes thrown your way because of your love of the BBing lifestyle because i know i get my fair share from day to day.

I don't think most of us (getbiggers) get it as bad as the pro's, but like pretty much everyone I've encountered my fair share of bashing and ridicule as to why I do things the way I do. I think family in some cases might be the worst (because they're the closest?) as far as this goes, endless barrage of questions like "why do you waste your money on these powder supplements (protein), why don't you eat normal food?" etc. etc.

I eat that shit up with a spoon. All the ridicule and stereotypes are people's way of saying "I look like shit compared to you". I find most people are cool about it but you will run into the occasional jealous douchebag. What I find funny is when i'm meeting people at a party or something they invariably will say they used to train, they just started dieting or they hurt their shoulder so they can't lift for a while.

I don't give a fvck, does it say FITNESS POLICE on my shirt or something. have another beer and chill.

I get that alot......... It's like dudes feel the need to explain why they aren't your size and shape $:-\$

MikeThaMachine · « **Reply #6 on:** June 10, 2006, 08:12:32 PM »

The best is when you find somone else that's into lifting so you can have a serious conversation but that's rare

OMG, if you guys only knew how often I hear that... and the kind of bullshit these guys come out with is unreal...

"Uhh..yeah, I used to be all into the lifting too, I was uhh..220, ripped and thought about taking it to the next level"\
this coming from a 5"6 125lb'er whose biggest accomplishment in life was playing soccer in college. ROFL

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hears this b.s all the time, and the sad thing is , you can tell when a guy used to be big and jacked, he still has the frame and some shape, most of the guys I hear this from are anorexic.

I used to be big but then I got tired of girls just liking me for my body and not my mind. Now I'm just a chiseled 250.

The only thing i hate is when someone shouts "steroids" from the saftey of a gang of guys or a moving car. [yes people are that pathetic in Englnad].

That must be annoying after a while.

I don't get the 20 questions that often, but obviously friends have called me a "gym junky" and "health freak."

I always enjoy when people tell me "you must be on creatine or something."
We all know that is going to be the death of us.

The haters are just insecure because they don't have heart nor the descipline.The average person would love to have 18 inch arms and a 6 pack. Why is the supplement industry in the 60 billion. Not from the Pro's.....

Keep doing what you love...screw everyone and take no prisoners.

thisiskeith12 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 11, 2006, 08:35:44 AM »

I take a bag full of tupperware with about 3 meals in it every day to work. If people question me I just say "hey, it's not for everybody."

Typically they have no idea what I mean when I say that, which only goes further to show the reality of my declaration.

Yup. and the funny thing to me is the industry just repackages the same shit over and over and people keep buying it. The general public is so ignorant about supplements.

They are ignorant because most of the supplement companies do not properly inform the consumer. The media is also responsible for misinforming. It's just one giant circle.

Shut up Allex

You will find people with low self esteems will ask the why questions, people that wish they could keep a sound diet, a sound training schedule, and look like you! This will come fromfamily mostly cause they have to adjust to it, they may say those things to keep you in balance which is fine every needs to think about expenses and having a life outside of the gym. But for the most part extended family, and friends will pretty much hate on you, sad but true. Take everything with a grain of salt if they offer suggestions consider them if they offer their opinion pass it up

Worst part is, my friends and family. They don't understand. I've explained, but it just does not compute I guess.
I eat multiple times a day, they think I'm odd. Yet, one of my buddies eats once a day, and (a massive meal) he's normal?

I get shit for being consistent with my training. At gatherings they always try to get me to eat shit. And get upset when I turn it down. Yet, most of them are overweight.

I'm weird b/c I bring my food to work (chicken and rice/potatos), but the fat asses that are eating donuts, cinnabon, and hamburgers are normal? What gets me is people that don't know you that come up and ask if I take steroids? WTF??? I had a girl ask me that once and I asked her if she swallowed?
