    Always eating......

    I am really liking this forum reading it so far but I am looking for some advice.

    I eat probably 5-6 times a day (small meals) in a keto lifestyle. I have lost nearly 70 lbs doing this (lost tremendous bodyfat) and I am currently bulking up a bit wieghttraining (see avatar)

    But to get to the point I am getting sick and tired of hearing coworkers saying crap like "Damn your eating again" "Your always eating" "How much more can you eat today" When in reality I am eating extremely clean! I avoid processed foods and I stick to my greens and protiens and I occasionally have the diet soda. Yet these same people I sit and watch them stuff thier face with donuts, candy, and chips on break. Maybe I am self conscience because I used to be so fat or still think I have a good percentage of bodyfat to loose.

    I do not know what the answer is but I train hard, I eat right, and I am looking for a good way to handle this type of behavious without blowing up and cursing someone out with the stink of donut on thier breath! (I have also noticed if you work out or someone finds out that you work out they watch your diet better then they do thier own)

    HELP IM GOING INSANE!

    just ignore them if you can, after all, theyre the ones who are unhealthy in the end. youre doing the right thing by exercising and eating right, i get crap off people sometimes too about lifting, its irritating as hell but you just gotta take the high road.

    after all, if they have to bug you, how secure could they be about their own diets/physiques? chances are theyre the kind of people that sit around dreaming of having the perfect body while simultaneously cramming a few chocolate muffins down their gullets in front of the tv.

    youre better, so let them know if you have to

    I can relate I used to be 280 @ 5'4. But maybe you need a break. I was feeling the same way a month ago so I took a break from the gym and measuring food. Its fucking tedious. I took a month break ate only when I was hungry and what I wanted. Not saying I ate shit either. I ate within reason. Did gain a pound. Now I'm back as of today and I feel refreshed and ready for another round.

    There are a lot of rant threads just like this about the same issue. People not into the 5-7 meals a day and so on will not understand. I don't get mad anymore. My boss says something ever single day, never fails when he comes into my office and I'm eating. When I bulk it's even worse. Just learn to ignore it is the best thing you can do Good work with your weight loss. Keep Truckin

    Yeah I have considered over Chirstmas taking a couple days off and enjoying myself when I am with family...I am so phobic about gaining wieght back it might be hard to unwind too much. Good advice I am betting it wont do too much damage and might help me relax some.

    I was about 170 at my heaviest but completely soft. I didn't work out at all. Now lastnight I get on the scale and I'm touching 170 but it's a different 170 than before. Thanks for the props

    My parents were exactly the when I started to eat properly my Dad immediately said ," You'll get fat." and my Mum said ," I aint gonna wash it all up." Where I used to work it was very hard to eat every 3 hours because there was just soo much work to do. Anyways where I work now, it's alot easier to find the time to eat and my parents now understand what i am trying to do and even my mum has started doin it.

If you feel down, tell us, we'll pick you up and put back on the right track!! As for everyone else?????

Its not about sticking 2 fingers at the doubters, its about taking that warm feeling you get insidewhen you can cross another goal off the list b/c you achieved it.

    man I HATE that too!

    I was working at a theme park over the summer and my shift was usually 9-6, we got one lunch break at about 12-1ish and that was it! so we are expected to go like 5-6 hours with no food! but hey we got free fizzy drinks on shifts! great! NOT.

    anyway I asked 2 different managers if I could take a quick afternoon break for 10 mins just to munch down a couple of tuna sandwiches, both of em said no, so I was forced to eat on shift which was pretty dodgey as if I'd been caught i'd have got the boot but everyone I worked with was tight (they would steal candy n' shit) so we all had each others backs, but I was still mad that they wouldn't give me a break so I could have a quick bite to eat!

    No one in my country (the UK) understands what its like to eat big... my friend the other day told me he was eating lots... yeah he told me how he was having a cooked lunch instead of a cold 1! 3 cooked meals a day! that is a BIG diet for the average Brit! and my dad is the worst, I was staying at his the other day and at about 5 I asked if I could cook up some chicken (that I'd bought from Uni with me!!) on some toast and a bowl of oats (had to comprimise as I can't cook at my dads house - hes one strict mofucka!) and hes all like.. 'are you sure you'll have enough room for your dinner' lol.... come dinner time i eat ALL my plate, then I eat half of my little sisters plate AND half of my oldest sisters plate! (I literally had double what he had), so that shut him up a bit, hopefully that will be the last time he stresses me because i'm trying to hit my 6 meals a day, its such a hassle!

    peace

    Ya , I get that all the time too ... No worries . By boss is about 50 years old and overweight and hes like , youre always eating. I say , yep I know . Thats it , I dont mind it much. Its funny though , he asked me , why the hell can you be eating soo much and be so thin and Im eating a meal a day and I have a keg. I explained to him a bit , but he was more confused than anything , so I just let it there. He still eats his pizza once or twice a day and smokes like crazy ... I smell a heath attack.

    Dont worry about it , just eat and take it as a compliment . You know that if they are telling you "youre eating again " that you are on the right track Let them eat 2 or 3 times a day and gulp down those donuts .
    When a goal is reached comes satisfaction . You're accomplished as a person when you surpass those goals .

    Believe me, I get the same shit all the time. I just say something like, "Do I look fat? Okay then..." Sometimes it leads me into a diatribe about nutrition. That's always a good way to scare people off. No one wants to hear what it actually takes to lose weight in a healthy way. They'll shutup if you get technical with them.
