Does anyone find that nobody actually believes you?

    I´ve just remembered another thing.. when you tell people you are bulking and when they see the amounts of food, they start searching for signs that you are getting fat..and even convincing themselves that you are.. :lol:

    Yea I didn't tell very many people I was bulking. It's like telling people "Oh I'm going to give birth without an epidural" they look at you like you're crazy and then try to tell you how you will fail. I've learned to keep things to myself.. better off that way :)

    True, but what did you say when they wondered your prep meals and the amount of food? ;)

    I think it's very likely because you are female.

    Because the LAYDEEZ are supposed to try to DIET, to be SMALLER. Be little, little lady. Take up less space. And, for God's sake, stop having all those infernal opinions.


    OP, you rock on with your own bad self.

    (and @sardelsa is absolutely right in her childbirth metaphor. I had 3 babies with nothing but a bathtub for pain relief, and nobody ever believed that it would happen...idiots)

    Yeah I personally never want to give birth without an epidural. ;)

    I don't think it's that they don't believe you, it's just their general misconception about food and nutrition. I never would have thought that I could eat all of this food and look the way I do a few years ago, because I hadn't researched the topic. I didn't know anything about fitness or bulking or lifting or how it all worked.

    Yeah, I agree. I eat like a king. Never hungry and look and feel loads better than when I was skinny fat, eating low calorie rubbish and two stone lighter. It's a funny old world lol.

    It's simple: Most people are fat. Thus the idea of "bulking" is absolutely foreign to them. Most people are thinking about how to get smaller, not bigger. Even I, who know vaguely what bulking is all about, have never been in a position my entire life to actually be concerned about bulking. It's always been about de-bulking.
