Card Carrying members/ active competitors

Is it a disorder knowing exactly what is in your bank account, your credit card limit, how much you can spend without going into debt by looking at the cost of everything you buy on a daily basis? Not really, but you get called out by people who do not know any of the above and spend money way above their balance not knowing the cost of anything they buy.

Is that example any different with food? :)

Would be like saying why can't you enjoy life by going into debt. Live a little. lol

In today's world being responsible & accountable seams like a disorder.
Just do whatever pleasures u & blame others for your failures.
 
Never completed, maybe I will if I feel like i have a physique worthy of it.

I'm very much a cunt around the holidays because they are a cunt to anyone who tries to diet.

My family is used to my abrasiveness about food and diet by now.

I still ate turkey and had dinner with my family, but I don't eat sweets, nor will I anytime soon. I have no self control once I start.

How many of you compete?

How many of you that compete act like little cunts at holiday festivities with your family cuz “MUH macros bruh” ?

How many of you diet nazis have pro cards or win competitions?

How many of you who actually allow yourself the American privilege of overeating and stuffing your face amongst your family members during holidays have ever attributed that very thing directly to your failures to win or achieve goals in the gym?

How many of you boring ass holiday food nazis think that you’re more disciplined and better than the other guys who don’t behave that way?


Lol

Competed for the first time this year. Currently in my off season. I enjoyed my thanksgiving dinner with no reservations. Ate normal foods earlier in the day like always but had what I wanted at dinner. One meal and some dessert isn’t going to kill 364 days of habits. I live my life how I see fit and don’t say shit or preach to anybody in my family.

I’ll apply my logic to that standard then.

Being financially responsible I’ll liken to eating within your means. When people complain that ground turkey is xxx$ a pound and I go through 4lbs a day, does not reflect the financial responsibility you’re referring to. They are causing that tax upon themselves.

Eating excessive calories a day falls more into the I have $$$ so I can sustain that spending because “this physic” is the tangible result. Much like having a big house, sports cars and whatever. And I’m better than you because I can afford it.

Like wise not giving a shit about your credit or income and spending what you don’t have, does, I’ll agree, reflect the shitty eating comparison.

This is a silly conversation. We all know that we eat weird, c’mon. We got guys pushing 50+ iu insulin daily so they can eat
4-5-6k+ calories. And the food is really shit. White rice, cereal, boiled chicken breast, fucking whey (who’d normally drink that shit) on and on.

Bigarexia is real lolz.

Many do! That guy is jacked af.

People also need to realize using a pro as the justification to be ridiculously strict with diet is a poor argument. One of the major differences between pros and amateur competitors is simply genetics. With superior genetics you can get away with eating less strictly than someone with poor genetics. So, if anything, the argument would be geared toward the non pro guy with suck ass genetics and the things that come with it.
 
If you truly enjoy weighing every piece of food and logging it to a T then that’s on you. But convincing others that’s what they need to do to accomplish their goals is wrong. Humans aren’t calculators.

People need to be encouraged to make wise decisions when eating. Not turning their eating into yet another thing they need to stress over in this already demanding and stressful world.

This is supposed to be enjoyable outlet.

Keep it simple.

False. That stada guy has “ifbb pro” in his signature.

But okay. Ask @Killionb12 if he religiously tracks every macro and weighs every ounce of food to a T year round.

I track my food and measure everything daily but I do allow myself in different phases of competition prep like a growth phase to have off plan meals. Like yesterday for Thanksgiving I didn’t track anything and ate what I want. Now if I’m in dieting for competition prep I’m 100% on plan and eat only what’s on plan even at family events or holidays. I have missed birthday dinners, Easter meals, anniversary meals, etc over the years. I definitely feel having that mental break from always eating on plan is a good thing. Just has to be at the right time. But to answer your question no I’m not on plan 100% year round!

Now like [mention]CoachCabo [/mention] said most of those off plan meals are accounted for but definitely not all of them especially in an off-season format. I might have a handful of unplanned meals throughout a growth phase but always being mindful when and what I’m eating when I do. Will adjust other meals throughout the day to accommodate it when I do. It’s a balance like I said and I’m not a top pro that is fighting for a top 10 spot at Olympia and it’s not my career.

It really isn’t that difficult.
Does it get challenging when you have been eating the same thing, month after month? You betcha.
But if you are a driven type personality, it isn’t really a big deal.
I have done tougher things in life when I didn’t have a choice.
It is what makes doing the difficult things by choice, easier.

99% of the people I encounter tell me that “it’s easy for you” but have no idea really, because they are excuse makers. The easy things for them are having easy “outs”.

Also, the fear no questioning of their integrity. They can say anything and not follow through. Doesn’t bother them in the slightest.
If I say I am going to do something, I do it. I fear looking like a flake far more than any physical discomfort.
