Ugh! People, get off my back!
Thursday, January 17th, 2008So I turned 21 on Tuesday and I never really have understood the whole hoopla about turning 21.. wait.. I take that back (sarcastically) I am now of legal age to consume alcoholic beverages… That’s why EVERYONE else gets excited about turning 21… I on the other hand am not a regular run of the mill 21 year old.. I get up at 3am Monday-Friday to go to the gym and lift weights.. then after working an 8 hour day go back to the gym for cardio. I calculate and measure out pretty much every single piece of food I put into my mouth.. My favorite past time…. Checking out hot bodies and reading up on anything I can related to working out.. My family knows of my fitness related lifestyle, all my co-workers know of my lifestyle, even my friends do.. so why is it so hard for people to understand that JUST because I turned 21 doesn’t mean I automatically want to go out to the bar and get wasted! If I wanted to drink, I would regardless if I’m 21 or not… I don’t want to go to the bar because I could care less about drinking.. I never have been into drinking/partying….But now, since having a sculpted physique is a major part of my life I REALLY REALLY don’t want to go to the bar…. All those extra calories and empty carbs can do hazardous things to my goal. Why is it that when I say “no, I’m not into drinking, thanks though” people think I’m joking… Or they say “why, boyfriend wont let you go”.. I guess I’m just at that age were partying is just what your suppose to do.. Well that’s cool.. I don’t want to be like everyone else.. If I wanted to be like everyone else, I would sleep in, eat lunch out every single day rather than having my portion controlled packed snacks, come home sit on my butt while I eat a bag of cheetos, and maybe some cookies after…. Eventually people will leave me alone about the whole “we are SO taking you out to the bar!!” thing.. and finally realize that no I don’t want to go because I’m choosing not to go…. I just think its so funny how its such a big deal to people.. the looks on there faces are hilarious.. and when they do the head tilt, and scrunch up there face because they are so confused as to why I’m not jumping at the opportunity to go have drinks makes me giggle inside!
