i think bodybuilding kinda ruined my life

**Murder** · 02-13-2009, 04:09 AM

man i cant eat anything nowadays without reading the nutritional label on back.

the problem is nothing that taste good is healthy for ya and vice versa.

i miss the good old days of carefree eating kfc, maccas everyday without a care for my body much happier back then.

but i know if i go back there ill just feel like **** and eventually be obsessed with labels again so for me its lose/lose situation

dunno if anyone else feel this way
i need to go see dr.phil or somthing

Learn to cook then man. Healthy food can be heaps tasty granted you know what to do with it...

Saying nothing that's healthy tastes good is a cop out.

i completly disagree on this

There are endless combinations to make your food taste great.

for example i do not like oats by themselves at all, bit if i add banana's and/or stawberry it makes for a great tasting breakfast.

bodybuilding has not ruined your life. bodybuilding has made you and many of us a better person. We have found a better and mroe healthier way of living. I dont know about you but i dont mind reading the labels on the back, I want to know whats going in my body.

You can still eat whatever you like as long as you stick to a few simple rules. Obsession is never healthy and probably even counterproductive.

**daYDreAmErX** · 02-13-2009, 05:18 AM

Train hard with intensity and enjoy what you're doing... if it doesn't work for you, well quit. I've been into the weight room during 4 years and doing powerlifting and I just stopped doing everything and turned to a different sport. Yeah, it was hard mentally at first because I was kinda melting and feeling soft, but now I'm much happier and I don't feel guilty or anything.

Gotta do what you like, there's not only BBing in the worl and there is a lot of good food to eat out there (no KFC tho, it's just terrible IMO).

Hey I was thinking - my dog eats the same thing everyday pretty much. Is totally happy !

**Giovanni.** · 02-13-2009, 05:25 AM

Personally, I feel like **** when I eat whatever I want (Junk food).

At Christmas I decided not to hold back and enjoy myself. So I had a 7 day binge lol. I thought I'd enjoy myself, but I found myself eating for the sake of it! And on top of all that, I could see fat gains in the mirror! ...I couldn't wait to start eating 'clean' again.

Eating and living healthy is the way forward.

t win

what can be so carefree all i have to do is go to the shopping mall and look around at the obesity today do you think they are carefree
i try not to judge because many of these people dont have the priviledge some of us have
i think i am truly blessed to look at labels and care
and with that i am carefree

**oceana** · 02-13-2009, 05:44 AM

EVERYTHING I EAT TASTES GOOD.

seriously whats not to like? roasted chicken, fish, veggies, potatoes, brown rice, peanut butter... i love it ALL.

seriously i'd any day rather have a roast chicken than a pizza.

when you eat ****, you feel like ****... you feel lethargic, you see the fat on your body and honestly it doesn't taste THAT good ... defo when compared to most delicous alternatives.

its not like bodybuilders are eating rabbit food. the food is freaking delicous IMO.

I find so much that taste amazing and it's beyond healthy. It's not that it has ruined your life, you're just more aware of what you put in your body.

I understand your frustration, I too miss spending $20 at Taco Bell and eating it guilt free, but 245lbs later it was getting a bit out of hand.

I think you need to learn better kitchen skills. Yeah eating healthy sometimes is a pain in the ass, but food is suppose to be fun and tastey! Enjoy that KFC if you want, just don't go ape **** and eat a 12 piece bucket. Eat whatever, but in moderation.

No one's putting the gun to your head and saying you can't eat it, only you are.

**oceana** · 02-13-2009, 05:59 AM

the past 2 days i've eaten:

a whole roasted chicken losta salad
a roast chicken, lentils brown rice,
tuna on a bed of brown rice with mixed veggies
peanut butter with yoghurt, cereal with milk
turkey sandwich loaded with lotsa good stuff delicous,
etc.etc. all ****ing delicious mate!

im sorry but im still confused.

**justanothagirl** · 02-13-2009, 06:05 AM

if u were truly happy eating crappy foods u wouldnt have had the motivation to change your eating habits.

**Disenfranchised** · 02-13-2009, 06:07 AM

It sounds like it helped your life by making you more health conscious. At least you know what you're putting in your body now.

**PTN_old** · 02-13-2009, 06:13 AM

proteins
fats
carbs

looks like you understand my point best

btw i actually dont mind what i eat and i bet most of you cant even stand it

I actually love eating veges, i dont mind eating boiled chicken, and i definately can eat egg whites by themselves. i drink my protein with water etc...

but if i didnt have to care soo much i wouldnt be boiling my chicken, nor drinking my protein with water and id definately add some flavour to my eggs

its just that i care too much nowadays cause like you all said, i see what happens in the mirror if i go on a binge. so thats what sucks about the situation

It's a life style change you're not use to. Eat the whole egg, they taste a lot better and aren't bad for (no matter what people fill in your head).

Well in all fairness, cutting back on yolk intake is an easy way to cut back on calories. Sure it's good to have, so is milk, but it depends on the guys' goals as to whether he should just eat whole eggs or if he could cut back on it. Personally I'm cutting, I'll have 2-3 yolks a sitting, no more than that.

**Teufel.Hunden** · 02-13-2009, 06:20 AM

True. A medium egg is about 75 calories. Not too shabby. You're also an animal though... most of us dream about getting your size.

This is basically where I am at. Obesity is rampant, especially in the South, and none of those people look happy. In fact many have a lost and hopeless feeling and have resorted to doing weird surgical crap with LAT bands or gastric bypasses or stomach staples.

Wouldn't that money be better spent reading some food labels?

Those obese people have just as an unhealthy relationship with food as the OP does in all likeliness.
