WTF is with people and knowing EVERYTHING?

[sneezingstardust]

I'm really offended, actually.

I posted a thread in the BB.com forums in the contest prep section. I was simply asking what people's tips were to get their mind off hunger, dieting, etc. during their prep. One guy had stated a food he eats every night, which consists of asparagus and 3 WHOLE chopped onions.

For you girls who have been on contest prep, you know you have to reach a certain macro nutrient number for the day, correct? So, I stated,

"Well, onions do have carbs in them, so I'm not sure that would quite fit in with my totals."

One random guy went on to posting this,

"I guess the only response I'll be giving is laughing at neurotic nutcases such as yourself."

Ummm...excuse me?

Then some other guy went on to telling me that the way I was thinking was bordeline eating disorder mentality. What the hell! Why do people feel the need to give you advice on contest prep if they really know nothing about it?!? Do you think people on stage would look as good as they do without being anal and meticulous about their diet for their 12-14 weeks prior to their show? It's not like I'm falling back into my eating disorders. Hell, if I could stop being anal about every tiny serving size I'm having, I would in a heart beat! But if I don't, I'm not going to be stage ready!

What are your thoughts on this?

That sums it up right there! Unless they have exprienced it they really don't know. Take it with a grain of salt.....oh wait, you have to watch your sodium intake!

WOW...what the fk is his problem?! OBVIOUSLY he knows NOTHING about competing...every person who I have talked to that has already had some experience in cutting for a competition knows how stressful and meticulous everything is for those 12 weeks. Just the other day, some guy asked me if I was training for a comp..I said, yep Im startin to cut for it..he said, "ooh..I bet someone is hungry for some pizza"..lol...SEE..HE knew what it was all about...that douchebag didnt...

I wouldnt worry about it..some guys think just because they have a freakin bodyspace page on a bodybuilding site, that it automatically makes them some sort of ripped-muscle-bound-dictionary-for-all-that-is-bodybuilding....WTF...

You know more than he does...ugh...pisses me off that he would say sumtin like that...that one guy can keep eating 3 whole freakin onions and the other douche can shove it...

okay..im done..like I said..dont worry about it...they seem to have an issue that a girl like you already looks better than them and knows WAAAY more than they do...

okay..noooow im done..

love you!!!!

P.S. When I was cutting for my first competition...there wasnt anything that I was able to do physically to keep my mind off the food. I just had to keep asking myself, "What would the winner do" or I would keep thinkin, "There is someone out there that I am gonna compete with who isnt cheating on anything"...I just kept pushing myself harder..keeping myself focused. Plus, I had you guys so it made my days easier..and it got me my 1st place..so I guess it worked..thats what I have been doing this time around anyway..lol

I have noticed on BB.com you get stupid responses from the guys there. A lot of macho BS. And in T-Nation in a matter of fact. I would just listen to the gals who have done this. The girls need to stick together, cause most of the guys do not know what the hell they are talking about when it comes to the girls competing!!!

Thats the reason I dont post on many other forums...dont let it get to you, its just some jerkoff hiding behind his keyboard.
