    That's why you don't tell parents things like that.
    That's also why I avoid conversations like this with co-workers too.

    When I first started running, my mom told me it wasn't good for my joints or face (whaaaa....???). But she has since come around and now seems impressed with my dedication and accomplishments. My dad and brother have always been runners and always been supportive. When I started going to the gym, doing boot camp and lifting weights, they were all supportive. And my family eats healthy.

    My husband is a former nationally ranked college athlete (in another lifetime, long, long ago ....) but he was used to hanging around (and dating) athletic women and didn't think it was odd when I started running and then lifting. Unfortunately my husband doesn't live a particularly healthy lifestyle now but he does his thing and I do mine, and he's used to that.
