Have you ever had a friend or relative resent you for getting fit?
How did you deal with it? Did you confront them, or did you ignore them and continue improving yourself?
I overheard a relative mocking me and it made me a little disappointed if I'm being honest, but I could not allow myself to continue being miserable and mentally and physically weak simply so they could feel better about themselves.
Crabs in a bucket Opie. Trying to tear you down is a sign of absolute, projected insecurity. Deep down, they resent you getting fit because they're still the same slob, and you have unequivocally elevated your life.
It's a tale as old as time; "They hate you cause they ain't you"
Well said. I do come here now and then for some reassurance and to see others striving for their potential
Still hurts when it's someone you care about, but that's life I suppose.
>when it's someone you care about
They showed that they don't care about you, by mocking you they showed that they don't care about you as much as you care about them
Stop caring about them, they don't care about you. Reciprocity is basis of every human relationship.
Both of you are right. Thanks.
Not sure how true that story is, but funny nevertheless and motivating.
Gains goblins come in all shapes and sizes.
It's always women...
It's fake, obviously
Ignore, give them a mocking back to them or better yet just smile at their way
All in all, nothing to get embarassed about being fit, you should be proud of yourself because you are bettering yourself, and anyone who isn't proud of you doesn't have your best in their mind
People laughed at me for being fit, for learning Chinese, for being inquisitive in college, for going above and beyond at a job.... in reality they were jealous sacks of shit who weren't as big and important as they thought of themselves
My ex gf kinda mocked me when I told her that I got a gym membership. I showed her pictures of the gym and she said it looked like it would be "full of meathead losers." She was also overweight and got very defensive whenever I hinted that she would benefit from exercise.
I left her a month ago. Now that I'm returning to the dating pool I've realized that I am out of her league. No idea why I stayed with her mediocre ass for 3 years. Her only redeeming feature was her big, frickable boobs.
My sister is quite obese and has never commented on my physical improvements. She changes the subject whenever I bring up anything about lifting or boxing (I've been training in both since May 2020, and they've become a significant part of my life).
I feel (I might be wrong) that fatties and skinnyfats aren't comfortable around me, especially at the pool in summer.
Also, there were two times when I turned down ice cream and a smoothie, on both times, different fat individuals told me that I don't enjoy life. Imagine my answer...
>How did you deal with it?
I feel better than ever, my 6 year old son thinks there are only one man stronger than me at the country club (I'm working hard to get better than that crossfit homosexual kek). Nothing to deal with since I prefer to be surrounded by healthy and inspiring people.
Good job anon. What was your answer? xD
My family constantly complains that I'm "not eating enough" because I'm 5'8" 160lb. I simply say that it's what my doctor says I should be at, and they begrudgingly accept it because they're all overweight. I stick to my diet and don't eat the slop they make at gatherings.
There's also a cousin I have who constantly brags about being an "undefeated street fighter" that always wants to fight me in the backyard, but every time I invite him to my boxing gym he agrees in front of everyone then never shows and claims the gym was closed that day. If he's there I just leave because I have better things to do.
Are you a beaner?
Victim weight
>My family constantly complains that I'm "not eating enough" because I'm 5'8" 160lb
They're right. Jump in a gym right now Mr. Auschwitz
I have no friends and don't talk to my relatives
can't relate
Frick their b***h
No. Im big so they dont say shit.
>I overheard a relative mocking me
Stretch these guns and mock him for being a pathetic failure
This. Once you make it, the correct answer to most issues is a double bicep pose.
Ignore and continue. Jealousy and envy should not be entertained. Sure it is disappointing if they are family or a friend.
But understand they are not happy within their own shape.
Some people look at you as a reflection of themselves, they're comparing themselves to you and it makes them feel bad so they become mean and/or overly-sensitive. It's the same with everything from financial success to fitness.
Literally don't pay people like this any mind, if anything feel sorry for them for being so resentful and miserable.
My family are all either in good shape or at least thin. My wife's family are all overweight and unhealthy. They'll make little snarky comments about what we eat (normal home cooked food and not fast food or frozen meals). My father in law will try and quote those headlines about "How working out is actually bad for you". I never really cared, but now that our son is old enough to notice things, I push back on them and let my son know his grandparent and aunts/uncles on my mom's are lazy losers
You rarely get fit with the same people you got fat with the price of your new life is your old one
Mt roommate always says he's going to catch up to me but he never accepts when I offer to work out or do anything healthy with him. He encourages terrible choices with beer and food that I've accepted too many times.
I don't know. He's not a crab in a bucket he's just broke. Can't force himself to do things.
He doesn't sound like a lost cause. Stop accepting his shitty habits and invite him to do more healthy stuff like going for a run, hiking, etc...
Bro I asked him to walk to a gas station like 20 minutes away today. Refused. Then invited him to the gym. Refused.
After the gym he invited me to drive to the gas station for beer. It's weird. I d9nt understand people that can't force themselves to something they don't want to.
>YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO THE GYM TO TALK TO WOMEN YOU PIECE OF SHIT butthole
my gf on a daily basis
not a friend or relative, but some dude who was tatooing me. i could tell he was jelly at my physique and when after he did that thing where you see how it would look with the tatoo on me, he was like "put your shirt back on now" in a very seething resentful tone. and another dude also said "you have much stretch marks, were you fat?" and he kept saying that like many times lol. at that time i had no idea what he was talking about but now i realized it was stretch marks because i put on lots of muscle. lol normies stay jelly.
