Family likes I've lost weight, but throws it in my face sometimes (sorta serious)

VariantInterval · 06-12-2007, 02:24 PM

My whole immediate family is pretty fat. I used to be a lot heavier but I started lifting and dieting and I've lost some weight and gained muscle. They make comments about me being "muscley" or "muscle man" (I'm far from it), but when they're frustrated with their own weight loss, they get mad at me fore being able to eat a lot more than them and still lose weight, and now, whenever i get angry, they say I have "roid rage", and that bugs me to no end. I've never taken roids in my life and none of your bb members would think it if you so body shots of me. I've been away at school for most of the year and I've noticed that i've become a more personable guy but also a take-less-**** and firm kindof guy as well, so now when I'm less tolerant of the grief and bull**** someone in my family might give me, they make comments like "get off the juice man." Heh, WTF? I love my family but this is some bs!?

Next time they give you a hard time tell them they have something on their chin. When they go to wipe it off say, "No no, the other one."

kingleonidis · 06-12-2007, 02:34 PM

make fat mama jokes, about your own mama, that should get them

Iraq Attaq · 06-12-2007, 02:34 PM

Or just yell, "Last one around Mom (or other family member) is a rotten egg"!!!

Don't worry about it bro, they're just channeling their own frustrations of not being able to lose weight towards you. Next time they are giving you shyte, I'd offer to help them lose weight if they are interested.

Regarding your increased confidence/etc, it's probably somewhat due to an increase in test levels and decrease in estrogen levels due to losing fat and gaining muscle. Also, I'm sure you feel better about yourself now that you've taken some initiative and improved yourself.

Anyway, stay with it!

supernovice · 06-12-2007, 04:14 PM

Bro, I'm in the same exact boat as you. I come from a VERY heavy fam & was heavy all my life up until about 4 yrs ago. Now that I've done something about it I get the "what are you on?!" questions & "take some more drugs!" The truth is its jealousy, Bro. My mom is the worst about it, she gets so angry at how much I eat & still am leaner than her then after dinner asks the fam if they wanna go out for a BLIZZARD!!! Just use that newly attained confidence & when they make more comments about you, soak it up, bc it should be interpreted more as a compliment.

Tyler09 · 06-12-2007, 04:28 PM

Dude, lay off the green...

My eyes were red from swimming!!!! I cannot tell you the number of times I have used that one...

VariantInterval · 06-12-2007, 04:48 PM

LOL, does this call for spoon pics of me doing laps!? (not happening)

Jr.Bong · 06-20-2007, 09:13 AM

My family used to do something similar to me. But instead they just said I had roid rage when honestly I was just fed up with the BS they were feeding me often, and the BS people feed me in general. They tried to use the roid-rage argument to say that my Whey Protein was secretly laced with high quality steroids and that I should stop taking it. -_-

Well, props to you for doing swimming when coming from a fat family, because my shame would get the best of me. >_>

And... swimming blazed your eyes? Yeah ok sure. <_<

in what situation though? I don't know if I could be that mean to someone.

bravo03 · 06-20-2007, 09:19 AM

tell them straight up that you don't like that name calling or just don't give fuel to the fire , keep brushing it off and ignorning it

dchapski · 06-20-2007, 09:23 AM

my mother makes aggravating comments too...
then asks to go out for chinese food
my response is: "ummm....no."

wakingmalice · 06-20-2007, 09:28 AM

chinese food is good for you.

the chicken and noodles and non friend things atleast.

Archangel_Lost · 06-20-2007, 09:46 AM

When I'm bulking, my family complains that I"m trying to get too big. When I'm cutting, my family complains that I'm trying to lose to much weight. I just ignore them, now. Blech.

krogtaar · 06-20-2007, 10:04 AM

wow strong pothead (yes red eyes)

cabocoleman · 06-20-2007, 10:09 AM

Big bro....start bringing in the hot ladies and they'll really be hatin' on you. Don't mind them, they're hatin you because they see something they wish they could be. Keep it up what you're doing and let them continue admiring your success.

larry_au · 06-20-2007, 10:13 AM

Nice progress man, very well done.

Don't let this sort of thing bother you too much, family is family. Unfortunately most people seem to get jealous of other peoples' success. Keep up the transformation though dude

captainhorseboy · 06-20-2007, 10:26 AM

everytime you get even more mad at them it encourages them. dont feed the trolls, it applies in real life too

Well, it's jealousy. They insult you because of your gains and they hate themselves for it.

BEQ one · 06-20-2007, 10:42 AM

They Mad?
