    I catch shit from almost everyone of my family and friends.... The thing that pisses me off the most about it is that I was very obese at 42%BF and now I never go above 10% and they flip me shit for the way I eat! Makes no sense imo...

    I went through the same damn thing. The most aggravating part is they were on your ass when you were obese now they look at you like you're crazy because your diet is strict. It will never make sense to me lol

    It's because you make them uncomfortable.

    When you were fat, you made them conscious of the possibility of that happening to them.

    Now you're lean, you make them feel more conscious about their fatness.

    What they really want, is for you to be just like them.

    Good point Nark... Problem is I'm not like them and lead a totally different lifestyle at this point, so conflict is inevitable... We may disagree, but family is family and I try to not pressure them into fitness/nutrition, so I just expect the same respect from them...

    most of my friends understand since ive been eating like this longer than ive known them or they do it themselves but some people in my family just dont get it. I try not to get too frustrated when trying to explain..

    Whenever I get my shipments and get in the elevator at my building pulling a dollie with 4-5 boxes from BB i get sooo many comments that make no sense its not even funny.

    Dont you guys wish you could just rip your shirt off and hit a nice lat spread to explain sometimes? I think it would make things much easier.

    Yeah that is how I see it as wel. Females are a lot worse with not understanding and making smart ass comments. They feel like shit because they see how strict our diet is and 9 times out of 10 their diet is horrific.
