Mom is all over my shit

[JKurz1]

Got into a huge spat with my mom......she came out and asked me if I was using "steroids".....I laughed and said what? She then continued to say that my attitude and mood swings are driving her crazy.......she's afraid to talk to me....truth is, I've been off for 4-5 months, so maybe that has something to do with it.......also, I've been cutting hard for the past year (down to 6%, 6'2...185....) and thats what is killing her......."It won't hurt you to eat a xmas cookie....and I'd give my right arm to see you eat a candy bar..."

I told her it just doesnt appeal to me. She wants me to see a shrink cause she's scared I have a problem? Problem???? Why? Cause I train 2x a day? Cause I eat every 2.5 hours on the clock? Cause Im mixing shakes and she's mixcing cake batter? Don't get me wrong, my folks and family exercise daily too, just not to the same extreme and they really don't understand my thought process.

Oh, then she says she scared cause she can see my skull and her firends keep telling her to say something to me....."You looked soooo good in college" she says (I was 240 at about 13-14%)...solid........


I REALLY want to get up to that weight again....I really want to pound the food and knock off the cardio.......just can't beat the mind over matter thing......sorry for the vent bros, but you guys are the only ones I can really "talk" to.......karma for listening! lol

Bro do what is right for you. If you are not benging and throwing it up, or working out all the time for every cookie you eat do not worry about it. From what you regimine sounds like... that is what most pro athlete's as well as collegiate athlete's do. I hear ya bro and keep up the good work.

P.S. If you can handle it go with a compromise. One day to eat with the family what the family eat's. Not a pig out day but a normal day of rest. Just might get her off you back... although it could be great for the calves and all. LOL

thnx bro - truth is I havent had a cookie, junk fast food in YEARS.....nothing, nada, zilch, but I don't crave it at all.....I eat shelled peanuts and a frosty ass protein shake with tons of splenda and ff cool whip every night while watching tv, which cures all cravings.......but, I do agree with her..I need to put the weight back on...just so damn hard!

 

[Blade66]

well, cyberx said it all
I'll just add that, surely, a cookie won't hurt you.

oh, and btw, if you want a different perspective on the matter:
A while back, I got into a huge spat with my mom for exactly the opposite reason.
I never hear her say stuff like "'It won't hurt you to eat a xmas cookie....and I'd give my right arm to see you eat a candy bar'".
the fuk? are you kidding? my mom said:" OMG, you eat too much!! More than anybody in this family. IT's not normal. You can't be spending all your money on the toilet, you know. Your father never ate as much.... yada yada."

I say:" Mom, if you dont feel like cooking anything, FINE. Just dont give me any lectures about how much I eat. It's my money, so It's up to me to decide how to spend them. And I know for the fact that I dont eat as much as I should."

some shit like that.
so, yours is not that bad a situation.

Man if you arent craving any of that stuff,dont sweat it.I wish I wanted to eat clean all the time.As long as you are still eating enough,and like the other guy said not binging and throwing up,then it sounds like you are just eating healthy,and not really stressing out to keep yourself from eating junk food.I dont see anything wrong with that.

i with you blade66...my dad calls me a fat ass b/c all i do is eat...funny thing is though im only bout 10%bf.

 

[Lord_Suston]

either eat and grow or diet and cut, people will never understand so don't even bother explaning

 

[faller]

Yeah, when I started working out I was 275lbs of flab. Drove my father CRAZY! There were times when I really didn't know what I was doing, but the stuff like not eating pizza when that's what everyone else was having really pushed his buttons. I think the big thing there was he is one of those people who always talk about getting in shape, when I was actually doing it. Of course, now he tells everyone how fat I am as the result of a recent bulk (he used to complain that I was too skinny for awhile too). Can't please everyone, please yourself.

Im currently in a huge argument with my father over what I eat,my mom usually does the shopping but she is off with a broke ankle and had surgery so he shops and never buys me the food I need,and I mentioned it and he freaked claiming I eat to much and he cant afford to feed me(he makes 50k a yr) yet our cupboards are filled with snack food, and he claims Im a idiot for using steroids which make me eat so much and I dont need them. I told him he doesnt understand and left it at that. hopefully both our situation improve bro,parents can be a pain in the ass
