I hate you

[XMan]

/rant on

You know who you are. You muscle-bound overpumped, steroid freaks who make faces and jokes at my expense when I'm in the gym. Here's a clue, dumbasses - there are mirrors on the wall.

Yeah, I know I'm overweight. Kinda hard to miss the GD fact since I've been the "big kid" my entire life. I was six feet tall, 220 pounds, in 8th grade.

So now, here I am, doing the right thing, trying to get healthy. And what do I get? Dicks like you making fun of me while I'm trying to do it. I wonder though, what the hell is your motivation?

Are you trying to shame me, to make me feel like I'm not worthy to be in your world? Too late, that happens to me every day. I'm used to that.

Are you making fun of me because you think I'm going to give up? Not a chance. I got my wake up call, even if it took a baseball bat to the head in the form of an A1C blood test. Your laughing at me is only giving me motivation. Seeing your sneers made me kick my cardio up a notch.

I hate you because you're the same kind of inconsiderate prick that populates this place, who looks at a 140-pound girl and proclaims "She's fat." Yeah, well, screw you guys. I look forward to the day when you're no longer 17, when your diet of Mountain Dew, Doritos and Snickers bars combines to give you an ass the size of Sputnik. And then I'll be the better man - because I've been there. I won't be laughing at you, but I'll pity you. Because your disdain is all the fuel and motivation I need.

Nice rant and more power to you

Congrats on doing something about a problem, don't let them bother you.

 

[Mill]

Never had a problem with someone making fun of me at the gym. Are you sure you aren't coming on to them?

 

[stormbv]

What a jackass.

 

[Looney]

In all my years of going to the gym, i've NEVER seen another person tease or insult another person.

Is this a school gym, or is this a real gym? School gym i can see this happening, but a real gym?

What exactly makes him a jackass? Because he's tired of the sh!t she gets? Because he's tired of being made fun of?

I avoid gyms. I'm tall and thin, but pretty weak. I don't want to have to bench a third of what the guy next to me is benching. There are better ways to get exercise: like a labor intensive job, like the one I have this summer. No dicks. Hard work. Good exercise every day. They pay you.

Stop wasting your money and ego, go get a job that'll get you in shape in one summer. Landscaping, construction, etc. come to mind. I got friends doing all of thems.

Yeah, somebody is going to give up a $50k/year job to get paid $30k/year and do labor so they can be 'fit'.

That's idiotic. People that are afraid of the gym are the pathetic ones. NOBODY is going to insult you. Most people aren't born with a 6 pack and a perfect body, most actually had to work at it, so they've been there.

I don't know you, but I feel you. Do the things that are good for you because they are good for you, and don't worry about the stupidity and cruelty of others.

<---been there, done that, and know that living well is the best revenge

Most of the real muscleheads in the gyms stare at themselves in the mirror the whole time..they probably don't even notice you. But keep up the good work man, whatever motivates you...for me its angry metal music in my ears

 

[Looney]

X-man, you need to visit bodybuilding forums... NOBODY makes fun of any other. Look at the pic upload sections, and you'll see 9/10 of them are from out of shape people (or at least certainly not people with 6 packs), yet they get nothing but motivation and advice. Sounds like you've just run into a couple of prics, but the vast majority of people are cool.

 

[XMan]

There's a ton of college people in this particular gym; that explains the immaturity compared to typical gym rats, IMO.

I don't care anymore though . . . endorphins are kickin' in . . . ahhhhhhhhh.

 

[vi edit]

Just remember...you aren't the one with testicles the size of grape nuts.

 

[GrumpyMan]

Man, I don't know what gym you go to but anywhere I've ever gone no one makes fun of anyone. And if there is anyone making fun of or making snide remarks about anyone they are promptly kicked out. No one is fit when they first start working out whether you're skinny or fat or somewhere in the middle. There used to be people who used to ride my ass for being unfit. But I used that as a stepping stone to get started and to motivate myself. Now when I walk into a room everyone makes way for me, no one ever messes with me. Keep up the good work, he who laughs last, laughs best. Fuuk em.

Maybe, or he could just actually see/know how society treats fat people (and he's ignoring it - awesome for him way to go!). My mom's had people take food out of her grocery cart at the grocery store and tell her she didn't that. I have no trouble believing the fat guy gets treated differently than the weak guy.
