Why don't men get it??Nov 12 2009 13:58
So I am starting to see the fruits of my labor... my pants are a tad looser. But talking to men just brings me down... they have a different metabolism I swear.
One of the guys is tall and lanky and eats absolute crap all day, two sugar lattes, original coca cola and usually some fast food for lunch and he is skinny. Talking to him I do not think he will every understand what it really takes for a normal woman to lose weight. What gets me is that this is pretty much the same for most men I know, if I ate the same amount of calories at the same activity level I would be a blimp!! It just ain't fair...
They always are like, you must really work at it, Yeah... like who YOU??
There's plenty of guys here that aren't in that category. Sure, I can loose 10 lbs just by giving up soda for two weeks, but after that it's plateau city. I either have to work my ass off (literally) or give up everything delicious on the planet. My lates, cheese, milk, sugar... all go out the window. |
Well......., A lot of it could be the age of the guys you hang around with. In my 20's I ate and drink with complete reckless abandon and was in awesome physical shape. By my mid 30's all that caugth up with me. Now that I'm 40 I have to work out twice as hard for not even half the results. When all is said and done, having good eating and excersize habits while you are young/younger definately work to your advantage as you age. I use my 10 year versus 20 reunions as proof of this. Many a beanpole turned into beerbellies in that short 10 year period. |
I was smiling when I read this, not to mean disrespect, but I really feel you coz it happens to me :) But like zuludaddy said tho, when we all get older it's triple hard to stay in shape and ten times harder to get back in shape. The guys I hang out right now range from early 20s to early 40s. Totally can see the difference and where those youngsters are going to if they still keep at what they doing :p |
Also worth mentioning........, a lot of these guys got the double whammy. Spare tire around the mid-section, and a bald tire up top. Not every guy can pull off being bald. The ones that can, tend to be in great physical shape. Call it cosmic payback or father times sense of humor its still funny! |
