so freaking pissed
Okay, so tonite when i was getting off work i was in a good mood and then one of the guys offers to bring me dinner for tomorrow night and of course he knows that i am on my low carb diet and that i have 4 weeks to go. he tells me that its this sanwich thing with tons of stuff in it which sounds really good and yummy! but for dinner i only eat chicken and veggies bc i have a light dinner in the evening. so then the other guys that were coming on to work at midnight jumped in the conversation and were hounding me about the big deal of eating 2 slices of bread for dinner. they would not leave me alone and it was making me so mad. then they were telling me that i needed to gain weight. it was just awful. one of them even grabbed my arm and said that they could almost wrap their hand around my arm. i was truely feeling attacked. these guys dont eat healthy at all, they eat shit for food. everyone tries to knock me down i feel like. so of course i started getting all defensive and angry. then one of them told me that they have seen me with like just a bathing suit on and that they werent impressed so that hurt my feelings too. so then they were telling me that guys like meat on a girls bones, so i started getting real angry and yelling at them asking them if they would just like it if i gained 30 lbs. i get shit all the time from people, there were 3 of them and they kept telling me that i dont need to diet and all this stupid shit. i told them that i didnt care what they thought and that i am sorry for caring about what i eat and how i look. so that was pretty much how my night ended. so other than that it was a pretty good night. i have been doing the low carb diet for 12 days now and it has been going good, my brother is doing the diet with me. one of these days i will take some progress pics and get them on here!! thanx for listening to me rant and rave but seriously none of my friends understand this and they just think that dieting and exercising is silly and that it doesnt matter, i know that you guys are the only ones that understand!!!

You look beautiful. Don’t let them destroy your dreams. Stay dedicated. They don’t understand what it takes to change your body or the goals you have. Good luck with your low carb diet.

yea some guy’s are a$$hole$, but i think you look very sexy and don’t need to gain any weight, but eating two slices of bread for dinner is kinda not alot at all but its your diet and im glad you stood up for yourself, cause im even dieting and all i can eat is lettuce cause im stuck on a ship in the persian gulf and don’t have access really to heathier food. but i say you look wonderfully hot and sexy and i don’t think they had a clue about what they were talking about. so keep up the good work and do like you did don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t look great.

I would say that first of all its not about dieting its about choosing to live a (healthy) lifestyle that your ‘average’ person cannot. Dedicating time and energy to being healthy/eating correctly requires a discipline that is lacking in many individuals; when they see one person doing what they cannot they want to drag that person back down to their own level! Its like when I stopped smoking. Certain ‘friends’ would try and tempt me to smoke because they felt that I had done something they could not and were jealous. Trust me with friends like that who needs enemies!
Secondly it may be a case of boys with playground mentality. Remember waaaaaay back in school, before the teenage years, when the only way boys could/would show affection to girls was to pull their hair? It may be these guys are metaphorically ‘pulling your pigtails’ to get your attention as they don’t know any other way?
Thirdly they may just be bullies with their own psychological problems and deep rooted fears!
Either way rise above them and don’t let others dictate how you live your life and good luck hitting them goals!

ur awsome! thanx so much! i know that the guys that i work with are weak bc they dont make healthy eating choices. it takes a special kind of person to be disciplined when it comes to what you put in ur mouth. and i bet you are right about the guys acting like immature boys! they are stupid!

I’m sorry, but no one should be putting his hands on you like that even if they’re kidding around. That crossed the line as far as I’m concerned.
I’ve worked with guys who were obnoxious like that and it’s hard to keep your cool and keep them from getting to you. But I found that giving them the silent treatment is the best way to get them to back off.
They want attention and if you don’t show it, they’ll readjust their behavior until you give it to them. Usually it took them acting like human being ADULTS for me to talk to them again. And things were cool.
Good for you for sticking up for yourself!!!!

Ignoranrt people will say ignorant things. Sadly it is usually my gender, in particular the younger ones. Keep doing what you are doing and ignore the naysayers. And i agree with ShanBL, hands on are a definite non-no.

Envy - they CANNOT be as disciplined as you are, so they knock you for your self-control. Don’ t let that get to you, use it as fuel to take you even further on your own journey.
You are an inspiration to us who are at the beginning of our own journey’s so keep keepin’ strong!

I think you look great and those guys were just mad because all they can get are "thicker" girls with no fitness golas. Keep up the good work!

Hey Christy,
Do not let people like that get to you. People who are insecure often feel the need to drag others into their circle. When they offer their opions on eating and what weight you should be, I would simply ask them - "based on your body composition, which one of you are qualified to be offering nutritional advice?"
Anyway, stick with your goals and ignore those who are negative! You’re looking great!
