MalleusMaleficarum Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 The most annoyingly stupid idea I hear parroted all the time is in the political pseudothought of others. I keep hearing supporters of various dumb little parties think that we should "vote" for a different set of rules to be imposed on a populace of questionable average quality, as though a Homer Simpson will become an Einstein if only the right mode of bureaucracy oversees him.

Agdoof Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I HATE the comments about being naturally skinny and the people that think just because I'm like that I'm healthy "You should be able to run more" "I wish I could sit around all day and look like that," If I was like you I'd be at the all you can eat cafe every day." This is the worst. The process of actively putting on weight is way more intense than people think it is, and I have to keep a pretty close eye on my weight to make sure that I'm eating enough and I don't lose mass. The last time I fell into a slump and didn't have the energy to eat as much, I lost 5 pounds in just a few weeks Quote Link to comment

The last time I fell into a slump and didn't have the energy to eat as much, I lost 5 pounds in just a few weeks I've noticed. My weight never changed most of my life so I thought I couldn't get much lower. I took out most of my junk food and started trying to use the caveman diet as much as possible (I always forget the name so it will always be caveman XD) and I started trying to start with Cardio so I can start getting my Asthma under control before the next challenge starts. How the hell did I lose 5 pounds? Where did it even come from? I'm starting to think the goal I planned for my challenge may be a lot harder than I originally thought, I was in the mindset gaining weight was about the same as loosing it, but I guess in my case with my body type a 253lb man is going to reach my weight (153lbs) before I can reach even half of his XD This only fuels the annoying comments about me being thin and small forever.

I remember weighing in at 99 lbs. for 8th grade football - I practically begged the doctor to throw another pound on there just on principle. If it makes him feel any better, I filled out fast once I stopped getting taller. Went from 6'0" 135 my sophmore year to 6'1" 175 my senior year.

I barely have any at the moment as i'm loathe to spend lots on clothes while i'm still changing shape. When i can no longer continue wearing my existing tent-like clothes and i bite the bullet and get some new ones is usually when people notice.I'm 3-4" shorter than you but the clothes argument still holds.

Welcome to my world. Every pair of jeans I've ever owned has been HUGE on the waist to get them to fit my quads.Every pair.Since I was about 15 Commiserations for you both. I hate going shopping for pants (particularly jeans!) because every place near me seems determined that, since I'm female, I want everything to be made of elastic, and either can-see-my-underwear-outline tight, or nope-no-legs-here baggy :/ And don't get me started on jeans.... I cannot, for the life of me, find a pair that's boot or straight cut, rather than skinny, has pockets actually worth putting in pants (screw my silhouette, I better be able to fit my phone in those suckers - last pair I got, the pockets weren't deep enough for the first knuckle of my index finger before I did some modifications!), and actually sits on my waist (some chicks look good in hip jeans. Some of us have a waist we'd like to be emphasising, thanks). I can generally get the first two, I'm lucky if I get the second, and the third would be an honest-to-goodness miracle.[/rant] I'm kind of dreading the day I need to go out pants shopping. It's coming. I can grab fistfuls of cloth at the sides of my current jeans. 2 Quote Previous challenges: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Link to comment
Allen Titan Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Ugh. I've been getting a new one recently. I gave up soda and started exercising so of course I got the typical "Why do you need to loose weight, you're already skinny" and "Why would you want to gain weight?" but I got a new one that has been annoying the crap out of me. "Come on, just one soda/pizza/candy, It won't kill you" "You're not going to do it, it's just a phase" and 'What's the point of all the exercise if you're just going to eat everything?" I miss soda alot, and being tempted constantly makes me quite hostile, and where's the support, and explaining to people how to gain weight is hard. 1 Quote Life Level 0 Half OrcExp to Next Level 0%0% Fit Level 0 Adventurer| STR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 0 | CON 0 | WIS 0 | CHA 0 |Upcoming Challange: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/48060-allen-titan-less-allen-more-titan/"They need something to look up to.

My drivers license at 17 listed me as 6'2" and 135lbs. I was VERY skinny. Thankfully once I stopped growing (I stopped at 6'4" around 22 years old) I started to fill out. I averaged about 8lbs a year of weight gain once I stopped growing until that leveled out, too. Quote level 4 Gnoll warrior STR 6|DEX 5|STA 4|CON 5|WIS 5|CHA 2 Building a better Raev, part 1.

KelliDarling Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 "Do you know how many people would kill to have your body?" Technically, I am in the healthy weight range for my height and build. When I mention that I'm not where I feel I should be in terms of physical fitness, I hear comments like this. It implies that I'm selfish because I didn't just work towards a certain number and then stop. 3 Quote No trees were killed to post this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.---------------Dali won't be joining us for dinner.
