Reminder to NEVER tell anyone you workout or have fitness goals.
You will forever be labeled as a "gym rat" or "exercise freak" even if all you do is get on a treadmill for 15 mins once a week
Repeat after me:
>Thanks! I just take the stairs and have a shot of apple cider vinegar before bed.
I wanna get a 3 plate bench and run a sub-20 min 5k this year
>i do yoga sometimes
Yea I gave up being honest about it awhile ago. Tried to talk to my obese extended family but they just do all the normal fatty cope. It's infuriating. I'd rather just piss them off by pretending I have superior genetics even though I'm literally blood related to those obese fucks.
>me
>underweight as fuck
>start working out
>drink protein shakes at 10:30am and 2:30pm at work
>get labeled a "health nut"
now if anyone has a fitness question, they come to me for an answer
WHY? I look so unhealthy. I clearly don't know what I'm doing.
>pretending I have superior genetics even though I'm literally blood related
kek, I really hope you make it
Those are really good goals user keep it up
> i have aerobically respired at some point in my existence
Why would you do that? Do you have no defining features or hobbies other than going to the gym? If you're an interesting person, going to the gym will make you even more interesting, as well as give people the impression that you care about yourself, and therefore have good self-esteem.
Doing that kind of thing reminds me of those dumb kids in school that always lied and said they didn't study for tests when they actually spent all day studying, anybody who's actually smart could see through their ruse.
Are you all Americans or live in a country with 20%+ obesity rate (or 50%+ overweight)? In my 3rd world shithole nobody will label you as a gym rat or something for going to the gym, it's always seen as a good thing. My guess is that when fatties make up the majority of your country, they cöpe by calling fit people names.
Flex on the fatties and basedboys. Show them their place.
>reminds me of those dumb kids in school that always lied and said they didn't study for tests when they actually spent all day studying, anybody who's actually smart could see through their ruse.
bingo.
I'm not trying to fool the people who are actually smart and work out
I'm trying to keep the momscience spouters at bay
>another npc only give me (You)s placebo thread
It’s all so tiresome
>Yeah I do pullups and pushups a few times a week after sparring
>claiming superior genetics to your family
Based user calling his dad a cuck.
You gonna fuck your mom and really make it now?
>woah don't piss off user he will roid rage at you haha
>lol I don't have time for the gym, I just drink bulletproof coffee
I don't really talk to anyone about working out to anyone outside my family, but do family members really shame you guys for working out? I can't see that at all in all honesty.
>pedoshit still up
>hentai threads up
>tranny threads still up
>give me (You)s threads still up
Have Jannies finally offed themselves?
AHOLA MUSCLE STITCH
>AHOLA MUSCLE STITCH
I tell people I just walk home from work everyday which is about 5 miles and carrying a backpack has made me put on a bit of muscle. They still look at me I have two heads.
>not telling fat normies SS+GOMAD any time they ask you stupid shit
Oh God I had the opposite happen
>talking with based coworker
>we're both trying to lose weight
>diet, running, and weight lifting
>I'm down about 50lbs, hes down 15-20lbs
>boss overhears starts talking to me about my routine
>tell him I was doing a bro-split and starting Candito's routine
>he tells me he focuses on 5x10 compound lifts at his house and runs
>shows me a picture he took in the mirror with no shirt on
>I will say, hes got a pretty good physique probably 1-3% more body fat than a professional fighter
>he now regularly shows/texts me pictures with no shirt and videos of him lifting
>tells me he used to be about 50lbs overweight
>keeps asking me to come hang out
>last week he texts me a video of him squatting with no shirt on
>next day in the office asks me if I'd give him a hand moving some stuff to his summer home on Lake Michighan
>"it'll be a chill weekend user, no tourists really yet so you can hang out around the lake without having to deal with people, it'll be great! Theres a few awesome wineries and some great restaurants."
>based coworker always making gay jokes now
>tell him he's just mad he's not the boss's favorite anymore as a joke but inside I'm kind of seething
Not sure what to do. I told him I may be going to visit my parents that weekend. They live out of state but not so far that I need to make actual plans to see them so I have an out. It's been really fuckin weird and tense in the office lately.
tell your boss "I'll do it with you if you can put some of your extra gainz into my salary"
Nothing will happen unless you post body with aloha muscle stitch as the timestamp
Nothing would have happened if you wrote it on paper on here anyways though
retard
Other than the texts being inappropriate theres no way they fire him and hes not going to let me "blackmail" him for a raise.
Lol your boss is trying to turn you into his pudgy boy toy
>craving for the approval of lazy normies and lying about your lifestyle to try to fit in with them
Good reminder how lifting isn't a fix for a fragile ego
That's true.
I made the mistake of telling my boss that I was trying to avoid sugar for my health, and now she finds any opportunity to make fun of me for that.
How old are you? I seriously can't comprehend the idea that grown men are going through life actually getting their feelings hurt because a woman or some random "makes fun of them" for being healthy.
i got muscular to the point its FUCKING OBVIOUS i train my ass off, anyways when all my college folks ask me, i just act like i dont know or that i do blue collar work once or twice a week, some people think i have crazy genetucs and a girl is all over me because of this, what a joke if i ever get her to being her gome she will see my barbells and will see that my hobby isnt piano and its a barbell with some bumper plates loool
It is just annoying and distracting; it doesn't hurt my feelings, but I cannot talk back to her, lest my job be compromised.
I'm 32 senpai
It's obviously affecting you and you think about it since you're posting about it. Shit like that should just slide off your back and not even be a thought in your head. At least fake it if you don't really feel that way. People will realize how ridiculous they sound trying to make fun of someone for dumb shit when it's met appropriately, like not even warranting a response
I've been faking it, as I just smile and say "haha yeah".
Serious question, anything I can do to forget about it? I'm probs autistic, so I tend to get fixated on unimportant things.
No, retard. The key is never to autistically talk about it like your life revolves around it. You can still mention your workout or whatever in small talk just like any other hobby. Just dont start fuckin explaining in detail your whole routine and fucking daily macro goals along with how whatever new meme diet you've hopped on will increase acute testosterone levels in your cock and balls.
It's just your decision if you want to let anybody in the world affect your life. There's no magic fix, you need to be comfortable and secure with yourself. If you are, things like this won't affect you.
If you laugh and agree with what's said you're just encouraging the person / people to make fun of you and it's even worse than a negative response. It's equatable with bullying when some people advise to just make fun of yourself, but imo it just makes you look like a clown with no self respect, even if you aren't serious.
>yea maybe i will
>sharply lunge towards faggot who said that and stop
>see fear in faggot's eyes
Worth it everytime
Thanks senpai
Meant for
FUCK

Based Aurelius-poster
I live in Fatfuckistan, and I've never had this happen. Everyone who knows me knows that I go to the gym, and my friends encourage me, even the ones who don't work out at all. I compare progress with a friend who works out, and I send pictures of PRs to other friends. To other people, the most I ever say is when I go to the gym, what time and which days. They don't ask for details, and I don't offer them.
The only flak I've gotten is about my diet, mostly from my family spouting momscience. At prior jobs I've never really discussed my personal life with coworkers and have usually eaten by myself while reading, so it never came up. I'd imagine that, if it did, I would just smile, shrug, and apply some thought-terminating cliché like "to each their own." A sense of humor helps with these things too. If someone calls you a health nut, just go with the joke and embrace it. Ever seen those Christians who wear "Jesus Freak" shirts? You can't hurt someone who is using your joke as their own joke too and rolling with it.
Seriously, how do any of you get into these situations? I'm not even all that great at social interaction, and I can read social cues well enough to know when to give brief answers instead of going on about it, like this user said:
>me
>Tells friends I workout
>They started labelling me as "Going gym one week and showing off guy"
>yeah I do some pushups and I bike sometimes, what about you?
What's the apple cider vinegar meme about?
>You will forever be labeled as a "gym rat" or "exercise freak"
Good
