Why does society reward people with FOOD? Life of a bodybuilder....

[gforce88]

My boss just sent an email out to everyone saying that she is taking us all out for a nice meal to say thanks for all our hard work next Friday at noon. I'm not going. I hate these kind of "events". I follow Palumbo's keto diet and I am allowed ONE cheat meal per week and I choose to eat this cheat meal with my wife - it is a chance for us to hang out, have drinks and have fun together -- which we don't often get to do because of our schedules. Why should I be expected to waste my f'n cheat meal on my boring coworkers at some chitty restaurant where I don't even get to enjoy my food? FUK. Now I have to deal with all these idiots asking me why I won't go and why I won't eat the food there - I AM NOT GETTING INTO THIS SHYT WITH THEM AGAIN. Is it really any of their business. They always respond the same way...."You can cheat this once...." I'm about to roid rage on a bitch.

I just told my boss I wasn't going, when she asked why I said, "I don't want to".

I'm leaving it at that. Fuk it.

lol

i think nobody in the misc cares though

[matthall2011]

Know that feel..every time I come home from uni my parents want to take me out to dinner at red lobster or some sh!t. Felt like an ass for saying no the first few times but now zero fcks are given

[gforce88]

It's theraputic. I was venting.

[GrndmasGetMeHrd]

You sure told her OP.

[PhysiquePhreak]

agreed man. Makes it harder to take girls out as well.

I'm always like "Let's go out to dinner....in 4 weeks after my competition"

feels badman

[TurkeyMan1992]

Brb skipping out on free meals because im a "bawdybuilda"
Brb 2 cheat meals = died gains

Yeah, it sucks because unless you compete people just think you're an idiot or have some kind of eating disorder. This is my life and my hobby - it's what I do outside of work. Most don't understand it because they are all content to be and remain average. I feel like most of them want to suck you down with them...into their flabby, loose skinned abyss.

[gforce88]

You sure told her OP.

I wasn't trying to "tell her" or "get her" I just want her to drop it.

[MyRiddum]

i get it all the time at my work... out of 100 and some, im almost the only dude who watches what he eats..
then again im not on keto and ill just eat a damn donut sometimes...

but i feel ya man.. just tell them youre competing and thats all.. lol

[CBitez]

Know that feel brah. When I hangout with my friends sometimes I'll be carrying around my tupperware with chicken and rice. They complain that I wont eat chitty mcdonalds. wtf

[TheMisery]

first world problems up in here

[BiggerWeighter]

i agree 100%...like wtf is the point of giving children candy when getting a question right in class? (extra points would encourage better work ethic, grades, etc)

however, u could have been more polite and explained that it interfered with ur diet.

you wouldn't understand

It's not easy being keto, but the rewards outweigh all. I do sometimes have to attend 'eating' events, but I mostly order meat and vegetables (hold everything else). It is doable. And if people ask questions, I just say that I have a gluten allergy. This shuts them up right away, as people 'feel' for allergies. If I tell them I'm on keto, I then have to pepper the you know what.

Who says you have to eat? If anything, you should just go in order to be more of an appealing employee. Of course, people will probably ask why you're not getting anything, but you could simply reply with "oh, I'm not hungry, but thanks." Going into major detail as to why you don't eat certain foods with people who can't relate is just pointless.

[mauledbyabear]

you did right. was your boss pushy about it? most people appreciate that sort of thing, i wouldn't so i'd not go either

[gforce88]

At least they know you're competing...I don't have an excuse. Cause I am a vain son of a bitch? Okay, fine. I am going to the Olympia in September and want to look good.

[Bothang]

email back saying "whose up for paintball insted?"

[Rockman]

You are a ******* OP. Srs. Just go to the meal. You don't look that great, and you never will. This one meal means nothing.

[povertybrah]

why not order something healthy at the restaurant?


I dont think anyone will give 2 ****s if you dont go.....I skip work "functions" and no one says anything, plenty of people dont go

[WheyTooAlpha]

You got a year left until:

35+ Misc ---->

old hag.

[Preban_AR15]

My job does this all the time. Just eat the healthiest thing on the menu and have water.

[Rigorous Rhombus]

I'm all over free food.

Then again I am not a bodybuilder and I am a skinny ******* trying to bulk.

But if you aren't competing, (idk if you are) then why not? Will an extra 1000cals hurt?

Obviously not, but I know this feel. I like controlling what I put in my body and when I feel like I have a lack of control I get anxious, agitated etc I usually avoid work outings that involve eating/drinking beer

I actually tried to explain, but she doesn't get it just sits there and looks at me like I'm stupid. I told her when I have a cheat meal, I want to enjoy it with my wife...she bertstared me like I was an alien.
