Also, my family does this shit EVERY TIME THEY SEE ME. However, they don't ask for tips. They just roll their eyes at me and tell me that I'm missing out on life because I passed on the dinner roll. They comment that we eat like freaks and that nothing is worth that, but they really don't have any clue what we eat.
My mom was getting mad because I told her I was too busy to go to her place for dinner on my birthday this year so I told everyone to come to my place & I'd cook. I grilled flank steak that had been soaking up a citrus/raspberry wine/brown mustard marinade, grilled asparagus, my homemade sweet potato fries, and my wife made "paleo" almond balls for dessert. They all thought the food was amazing and couldn't believe that this was the type of food we actually eat. I thought we had turned a corner, but I was wrong. It seems they completely forgot about it and the eye rolling continues.  |
I get the same crap from friends and family. They're always tired or sick or both. And they all would love to loose some weight.
I tell them I feel like a viking heading off to battle most days and they like the sound of that. When I tell them that it involves 3 days of heavy weightlifting per week + some combination of walking, running or swimming and eating only whole foods they immediately disqualify themselves. I tell them that I'll typically go nuts on maybe one or two meals per week and that still isn't enough. They absolutely have to have bread and ice cream EVER ****ING DAY or they'll die.
They see the results and some of them dip their toes in but I can honestly say that I don't know a single person that has stayed committed. I used to be the same way and I'm not sure how I made it this far but I can't see myself going back to the old me.
