...Consider yourselves warned!
Why do people feel the need to put in their two cents where its not needed???? Lately I have been getting lots of 'tips' from people and its driving me batty
Just today alone:
*You shouldnt take creatine
*Dont eat carbs past 6pm
*Getting to 0%BF is unhealthy (thank you captian obvious!)
*Dont worry about weight, you'll lose it when you cut water!?!?
I do my best to ignore it, but damn some days I just want to ask them if they are retarded! People that dont have a clue about fitness, I just "Uh huh" and let them go on their merry way...but I cant stand it when people who SHOULD have a clue, spew such nonsense! Even if something works for YOU, it doesnt mean its going to work for ME so get off your high horse cause I didnt ask for opinions anyway! *sigh*
I hear you sister! I find that men especially want to tell me what to do. Don't lift so heavy. Lift heavier. Do more cardio. You just want to tone, not build. (thank you for telling me what I want.) Eat less of this... more of that. And all of this is unsolicited!
I think it's totally normal to be frustrated by this. I don't tell anyone what to do unless they ask for my advice, and even then I'm clear that different things work for different people.
As we say in the south, y'all need to hush. (That's the polite version.)
I never just throw my opinions at people...I feel its not my place, but yet people just bombard me with their views!
Not to mention, when its prep related they're giving old school methods that have been debunked 10x over...STOP ALREADY!
Oh, wait, I know all the words to this one! Can I sing along, too?
Here's a funny one for y'all. A few days ago, I was at a party. There was a guy there who was chuggin' gin and tonics like they were water. He started talking about all that he was doing to lose weight, and mentioned that he was lifting weights, among other things. I told him that I knew of a fantastic online resource for weight lifting and body building, and was going to tell him about t-nation. Before I had even finished my sentence, he stepped up on his high horse and said in a very derogatory tone, "Whenever I start gaining weight, I know what causes it, and I know how to fix it (insert sip of gin and tonic here). I just eat less and move more." (I have been CrossFitting for three months. I am down 45 lbs, but have about 65 more to go. The message he was trying to send was obvious.) He continues with his little tirade, talking about how he is running in the morning, and lifting in the evening, but not too heavy because he doesn't want to bulk up, and finally, the piece de resistance: his nutrition plan. He is on, wait for it, wait for it, JENNY mother freakin' Craig!! I laughed in his face when said that. /convo That certainly explains the pasty skin, thinning hair and the acne, but I am still trying to figure out where the gin and tonics fit in on the Jenny Craig plan. What a moron.

I thought people had enough sense to see that Jenny Craig is crap!
Not to mention a guy....Afraid to bulk up?!?!?! Oh how you didnt just laugh is beyond me...I'm sure the gin and tonic will give him the body of his dreams
My friends GF is trying to lose weight and she posed on her FB "I cant believe I havent lost any weight! I barely eat!!!!!" I wanted to scream: "Theres your problem...EAT!!!!" But, she didnt ask me so I kept it to myself....I just wanna shake her!
ps: CONGRATS on the weight loss!!! That is amazing

Wow. I can see his vagina from here. I bet if he saw a Tracey Anderson infomercial he'd have his prissy pink visa out it a second.

I don't ever hear this anymore. Probably cuz I live in a place where I don't know anyone and no one talks to me anyway haha!
Now, I gotta run. It's time for my second Nutrisystem meal of the day: Eggplant parm with a side of fudge brownies. All precooked, packaged, and calorie free! Then it's Shake Weight time in my new Easy Tones!

MAO! I just heard that they make a shake weight for men, too. I haven't seen the infomercial, but a friend told me it cost ten dollars more than the women's. I don't know why I find that sooooo hilarious, but I do.
