yobusta · 07-31-2005, 08:25 AM

Any body have this problem. i have started lifting and cosuming more calories and my mom keeps asking me why i am eating so much. and i tell her and she just dont get it. i workout 3 days of the week and one of those days of the week i was into my workout and my mom wanted me to take her to walmart. i said no because i was into my workout. she got all mad. i dont know how i am going to get her to understand.

Yah my parents were glad I stopped drinking pop and eating candy. They were a little weirded out when I started shaving my armpits and chest tho.

thats just the way some parents are, wait till shes into something like a tv show and ask her to take u somewhere and then when she says no im into the tv show get all pissed....maybe then she will realize

RiYaN YaTeS · 07-31-2005, 08:37 AM

Do you guys find that your more aggressive since youve started Bodybuilding?! If I dont get to lift my weights or eat my meals I get very grump and at work especially when the lads comment on the amount of food i eat it makes me aggressive... Is this becuase of a chemical I may be consuming as ive heard that having a large intake of protein can make you aggressive?!

My mum and dad always telling me Ive become far mroe aggressive, and my gurlfriend and palz are all telling me Ive got a bit more aggressive?!

Any of you get the same?!

martydaman · 07-31-2005, 08:40 AM

Id say my parents are fine with my new diet. Ive noticed things like my mum buying more milk and cottage cheese even though i never asked her too. Im an ecto so i guess they want me to eat more... lol

Dude help out your mom. Just take a 5min break. Wow no biggie. Those groceries are going to be consumed by you so at least you can do is help her bring them in.

You may be becoming more aggresive, or it may be something else.

If your friends are like mine, they like aggrivating each other from time to time. Seeing as you're no doubt stronger and seen as with a new persona, they will consider you more aggresive since you are not a weaker target.

My friends are cool though, don't get any ideas.

yeah I'm the same mate.
I just took a step back, assessed the situation and laughed at myself for being moody and irritable when I realised I'm moodin out over missing 2 gym workouts (bad week for it). Some guy (top man as well which makes me feel worse) started on my small protein rich flapjack and I bantered along but felt the heat rising. It really got to me when I said it tasted good and he said 'yeah sure it does' and started pullin faces of disgust. I know its well childish but I almost snapped and that to me is ridiculous. Well at least I know the prevention - workout!

yobusta · 07-31-2005, 09:46 AM

haha nah me and my mom are cool, was just a misunderstanding thats all.

FLEXALOT · 07-31-2005, 10:08 AM

my parents totally support me and there so nice about my obsession.its a great feeling

kronik85 · 07-31-2005, 10:10 AM

um, help ur mom out if she needs it? just because ur workout is interrupted doesn't mean it's wasted. and even if you dont get to workout when u want, workout later.

yea my mom complained a bit when i started my bulking binge, but whatever. just eat eat eat.

RiYaN YaTeS · 07-31-2005, 10:11 AM

I'm cool with my mum and dad and all them its just i seem to be more aggressive and wound up easier, My gurlfriend came out with a comment that I eat too much and am gaining fat... (because i'm bulking) Ive told her over and over again but she acts as if I'm a fat bastard compared to Thin people but when I am cut with a 6pac and nice pecs she sucks up to me, Its a bit stressing u kno wot a mean?!

Maybe I just need to look the situation aswell...

Cheers anyway

Welshy87 · 07-31-2005, 11:31 AM

I´ve become far less aggressive since starting to work out. I used to have serious anger problem and would fly off the handle all the time, but since i started training i just take out all my aggression in the gym and have none left for the outside world.

camron104 · 07-31-2005, 12:14 PM

Yeah my parents get on me for it but I lift for myself not for them. Just keep tryin your best. I managed to smuggle some creatine into the house without them noticing. You'll eventually get big and they will stop caring.

Big B · 07-31-2005, 12:35 PM

Ive become alot more agressive since I started lifting. My friends notice it, my family notices it, especially when u knock a few holes in a wall because someone pissed u off. I just like lose it when someone says Im not doing a real sport and my sacrifices arnt the same. People like that deserved to get there asses kicked for talking about stuff they dont know.

Plus its great knowing if someone does piss you off, u can pick them up and hurl them over the nearest fence, or through a door.

o2Ly · 07-31-2005, 12:35 PM

talk to her nicely, and explain her what are your schedules... she's only worried at you..

enik · 07-31-2005, 12:37 PM

OMG WHY THE HELL DO U WANA BUY WHEY? U DONT NEED IT AND ITS UNATURAL!!!- my mom.

o2Ly · 07-31-2005, 12:41 PM

then collect your money, and you buy your own whey... lol i think shes very angry right there..

ETHSFootBall · 07-31-2005, 02:11 PM

I have the same problem..I always ask my mom to go out shopping and buy a lot of healthy food..and she yells at me for spending so much money on food and that its to hard for her to keep up with my eating...I really hate it.

health food actually costs a lot more than junk food and unless your mom is stupid, she will know this

RiYaN YaTeS · 08-02-2005, 01:42 PM

I just buy my own food now, I work for money so why not use my money on something i enjoy, The problem is the expenses I pay out tho, sometimes I cant afford it!!

In My Eyes · 08-02-2005, 02:57 PM

Maybe some of you should work on getting jobs, and bring home your own cottage cheese (fat free of course

),chicken,eggs etc.. It isn't your parent's fault you choose to eat like a freak... So help out once in a while.
. Maybe it's just because I go to college and appreciate all that my parents have done for me, but the utter lack of respect people around here have for their parents makes me sick to my stomach...

Thats just the classic teen though. Blame parents for just about anythin. When in actuall fact if they wanted (and tried) it hard enough they could find away to get money for there own food (supplements gym membership whatever). Get a weekend job or somethin STOP BLAMING YOUR PARENTS FOR NOT GIVING YOU MONEY!. When you could easily (if you are SERIOUS ABOUT BODYBUILDING) find away to earn the money yourself. I'am sure your parents are workin hard enough and enough hours for you NOT TO turn round and tell them they need to earn more.For your hobbies and passtimes. IT'S YOUR LIFESTYLE AND IT ALL SHOULD BE YOUR RESPONSABILITES.

I would slap you if you were my kid. You cant take time from your workout to take your mom somewhere?

Slaloo · 08-02-2005, 04:02 PM

Yea you guys should definatly help our your moms, my mom is happier now cause i can carry more groceries than i could before and i can also open her jam jars lol. The only negative thing shes ever said is "the ladies arent going to like those stretch marks"
