That's right, around campus I'm becoming known as "that guy with the cooler" due to me carrying all my meals with me in a family sized Coleman cooler...hey, I gots to eats! (I'm there 8-5 all week and don't live on campus, so what else am I supposed to do, eat fast food and candy all day? lol, *bleh*)

I mean this campus has like 15,000 people or so, visual recognition is usually quite the feat lol.

Anyone else been ear-marked by their large food quantity or carrying bag?

The security screeners at the airport always laugh at me. I come strolling up with my overnight bag, flight kit and my big-ass coleman cooler packed with food. They always ask if I'm going to be gone for a week. It's usually just one or two days worth of food. It's a pain carrying it around, but it sure beats eating out!

I have a cooler in my car also, ppl are always looking at me when i am pulling out all my tupperwear when im sitting in my car! Screw them. Its your lifestyle not theirs...

Do you keep the food cold with ice packs or do you just throw the meals in there for storage? I get this at my firehouse during my washnights and such. I will ussually bring like 3 meals with me for the 6-8 hours I'm there and they all think I'm weird. As they eat pizza I have cold chicken and veggies.

Take it from me people are always gonna call you something.
As a child when i was fat people called me "Fatty-boom-boom"
Now they call me "Mr. Met-Rx" and or muscle head/ big man.
So its one or the other and personally id rather carry around a pack of food than carry around a pouch of fat like most of them.

my favorite is when a fat person at work will comment about how i'm "constantly eating" and they'd "blow up" if they ate all day long like i do.

guess they would if they kept eating the same stuff they do now.

I love when people say this to me as well, it makes my day. Then they always proceed to try and teach me how to "starve myself" or diet as they like to call it. I just laugh and say uh hu.

LOLOLOLOL

Yea I have had some of those as well. The best one ever though was a man at work who had started to diet. He had double cheese burger, w/ double bacon and cheese. A piece of cheese cake, fries, some ice cream and a soda. I was like hey I though you were on a diet, and he was like yea I am.I was like huh? He said yea I eat this every day at 8 pm and thats all I eat all day. His thoughts were his body eats all the fat during the day and at night he puts more in there to keep him from loosing his muscle, which he apparently had non to begin with. Then he told me to try it some day. I said yea maybe I will.

Where the hell do these people come up with this crap?!?! I just wanted to smack him and every one in his family for making me dumber in those 5 minutes of listening to him.

Deadbolt, get ya boys at the firehouse to chip in for a microwave. They'll have hotter pizza and you wont hafta eat cold chicken.

Posted by: DeadBolt

O we have one heh, I just dont heat it up. Takes time I dont like to waste. Because I am the newest guy there I get messed around with the most so I dont bother, just gives them more of an oportunity to bust my chops. lol. Plus I am use to it when I go to school, in the middle of class I dont have a microwave so I eat all my food cold.

I bring all my goodies, but leave them in a small refrigerator, and generally eat at my desk. Everyday though, I take a small container filled with either peas, green beans, or broccoli downstairs to the lunch room to heat up in the microwave. Within no time at all, I was known as "the veggie man".

Im with you on this one. I got a good deal at this close out store that had the christmas zip lock bags on sale after christmas. I bought 50 boxes of 25 bags for 10 cents a box.

haha

are you part of the flight crew, or just travel a lot?

im gonna be on vaca for about a week, and will need to pack a bigass cooler with food. do you know how security screeners will handle it? i was just gonna wrap it in duct tape so the top doesnt flop open, and have it checked.

Part of the flight crew.

Unfortunately, with the new security measures in place, you won't be able to seal your cooler with duct tape. You can't even lock your suitcases anymore. If they decide to search it, and they can't reach you, they'll just cut it off. Maybe you can show them whats inside then tape the shit out of it. If I were you, I would just carry it as one of your carry-on bags.

Damn straight

Would you believe even working in a freaking gym I'm "that girl"

The other trainers just eat protein bars or energy drinks. Idiots. Then they come to me for advice about their diets. Hmmm.............

Just shows you how much our wonderful PT's know...

Posted by: derekisdman

I'm glad i'm not alone in this! It seems harder if you're just starting out or are a beginner and don't really show any signs of being big or lean, because people think you're doing it for nothing. However when they start to see how you're changing and then you're big and ripped, then you'll suddenly start to see more people around you with coolers!

You throw them out-the good ones? Or the cheap ziploc ones from a grocery store?

Posted by: Jill

It bugs me for some reason when people walk around the gym eating protein bars-sometimes I even see people eating granola bars! They all think they are cool or something.

Ya, it's all muscle weight and not fat.

Hey at least you get noticed now. Go along with the joke and maybe you'll be more popular than ever. How much I eat at work is a running joke. When things are going badly I usually say "isn't it time to eat yet?"

Posted by: Premo55

I don't really do the tupperware thing anymore. I do the even MORE anal thing and plan my entire schedule around my meals sometimes, so I make sure that I work out/eat/prepare food at a time that is in sync with my classes and social life.

Peace.

Posted by: P-funk

I have been labeled as that guy also.....the guy with the cooler and all the meals. Oh well, I like it.

Heading into the gym today, toting the food-box, guy at desk jokingly asks

"Any live organs in that thing?"

I say "Yeah, kidneys." straight-faced.

Girl behind desk asks in serious tone "Really?!" Hah.

Let the good times roll lol.

I've got this insulated collapsable coleman. It rocks
