Just wondering if any of you have ever had a family member who never could understand why you chose to eat "clean" and train with aspirations of being a pro bodybuilder? Thinking it was silly?
I deal with some of this and its just very frustrating. Im hoping to hear back from some of you on this thread of how to not let it get to me. Even though I block it out, I feel like Im doing something wrong around them if they invite me out to dinner and I turn down an appetizer or dessert if they order one for the table. Like the other night I ordered Sirloin and broccoli and a family member laughed in my face when I told them I already had my cheat day the day before and didn't want to eat dessert. Their exact words were "You honestly are way too serious. Something is really wrong with you that you don't think its ok to have a little dessert." Then they shook their head in disgust with this little laugh like I was a little kid that did something wrong against their wishes. I felt like getting up and leaving but it was my sisters birthday and I didn't want to cause a scene, so I just ignored them. This is not the first time this family member has done this to me.
Why can't they just respect the fact that I work hard in the gym and with my diet? I have cheat days, they know that. So if I tell them I had a cheat day the day before and don't want to eat dessert, why laugh at me and try to emberass me?
Its not very nice to make a person feel bad for living a lifestyle that is healthy.
