    Our life style explained

    I didn't write this but I thought I should share it.

    Most people don't understand, but I'm ok with that. For me, training is not a hobby or,a social activity, it's a way of life. Those around me say that I'm obsessed, taking it too far or maybe insane. They can't understand why I won't eat birthday cake, or bring Tupperware of chicken breast to a party or why I go to bed early on the weekends to rest up. But I don't care, their remarks and insults are merely cotton bullets firing at a wall of titanium perseverance known as ME.

    I know that negativity that I hear is fueled by jealousy. Jealous that I am capable of unconditionally committing to something that most people can't stick to for than a couple of weeks. Jealous that I embrace a level of pain, discomfort, and fatigue that others cringe at the idea of suffering a fraction of. Jealous that I have the self discipline to count out carbs, fats, and protein while they are busy counting their chicken nuggets to make sure they got all 10 pieces.

    Ironically, all the comments, nagging and questions that's meant to break me down does the exact opposite. It reminds me just how special and uncommon my allegiance to bodily perfection really is.

    The only one who can slow you down is yourself.

    It just really hits home for me. I'm surrounded by these people my family, coworkers, even some friends. Family especially, I'm the only one who even works out!

    haha, I noticed. "Me" instead of "you". Still good stuff...

    My life stile is similar, some say I'm obsessed, that I have some kind of mental desease, but in fact its a hard life, diet like a fool, workout and juice.
    But I love to get girls, and either you are very good with blablabla, or you are a good dancer, but If you don't have one of these qualities, you have to work on your body and aesthetics.
