A bit of a rant.

I've been on a weight loss journey for about a year. I'm 5'10, starting weight 225, down to 176, have a bit to go but making progress so yay.

Today was our office's annual Christmas pot luck. I chose not to go because the food in Oklahoma, especially ones brought to a pot luck, is all pretty much fucking awful for you. So, instead, I decided to go home and eat like I usually do. When I got back, I was pulled aside from my boss and was told that, "If hisdiet is preventing him from work activities, he wouldn't be on it." I told him my weight loss and my health is a serious aspect of my life and I don't want to set myself back.

This attracted more people where I was berated stories about how their so-and-so ate too much protein and now has liver damage. Or their blah-blah tore his blah-blah and now he can't walk or some shit. One person even told me it's not worth it to exercise because of all the health risks involved.

Keep in mind that this an office of fat-fucks who are all at least 50lbs over weight. My boss, at least 150lbs over.

Jesus fuck, do I hate this office with a passion. Keeping diet under control during holidays is rough enough, but to then get browbeaten for being healthy just makes me want to eat a dozen donuts and lay in bed all weekend.

Thanks for reading <3 I love this thread.

They're just jealous as fuck that you're actually making a positive change in your health while they're too weak-willed to do the same. Use their stories/insults are motivation to keep going forward, and just think about how much healthier and better looking you are than the lot of them. I guarantee that most of them go home and make wishes into their pints of ice cream before bed that they could be half as healthy and look half as good as you.

I hate taking to the people in the office, all of them are over weight and pull the "I only eat 800 calories a day bit still gain weight " bullshit. Some customer dropped off a party tray of cookies, between maybe six people it was gone in two days.

I love when super obese people act like they hardly eat anything when junk food is brought into the office. Tray of cookies and a box of cupcakes in the office kitchen? "Oh, no thanks, I'm not really hungry, plus I don't usually eat junk like that." Lol, ok, you must be 450 pounds because you eat 5000 calories of fruit and vegetables a day. You know they go home and pig out on the same shit they avoided at the office due to social stigma.

I don't give a fuck. I load up on that shit and let people marvel at the fact that I'm not a fatass despite walking around the office with a plate of 6 cookies and 3 cupcakes.

It does sound like he just left without saying anything though, so next time that happens Lohk, just tell people you aren't going to the pot luck because you're close to your goal weight and don't want to set yourself back before actually missing it. In fact, tell people the second the pot luck is announced instead of just slinking out the back door.

They viewed it as a slight and then just got preachy because they're fat and jealous. So just don't let that happen, and if they have a problem with that tell them too fucking bad.

Being in the workplace on a diet can sometimes suck, but sometimes you have to suck it up and have some will power. At least yours was a pot luck, you could have opted to bring a healthy dish. Kind of a shitty excuse to miss a company event if you ask me. Your list of co-workers excuses sounds like you already frequent /r/fatlogic because I've never had any kind of shaming due to my weight loss and yes, all my co-workers are overweight too.

Thanks for the words. It's really appreciated.

I thought about bringing something I would eat, but was afraid I'd sit there and eat it while other people tell me to go try such-and-such and "do you not like cream cheese?!" type of comments. I did choose the nonalpha way out, that's for sure. A list of things said to me were:
"I don't metabolize food like you do."
"If I eat less than 1500 calories a day I get headaches and become dizzy. I don't know how you do it." (after mentioning that I just restrict my diet)
"I have kidney problems because of too much protein."
"I don't count calories because I eat healthy."

It just floored me that I was actually being fatlogic'd. I should have watched this video before it happened, it may have helped me:

That guy is a genius. He is everything he's making fun of and he knows it. And he knows he can make money by YouTubing himself since he has a good sense of humor about it.

Brilliant.

He's definitely been playing up his character, over time he has gotten more and more ridiculous, but you can tell he's been spending s shitload more time in the gym and putting his body where his mouth is. Art imitating life imitating art.

He's got a lot bigger and actually cut down his body fat % pretty significantly. Also, he's actually pretty fucking intelligent. Seeing him outside the "Dom" persona is fucking creepy.

Since I take the summer off of the gym so I can race without exhausted legs, Im finally back to where I was last year in squats. Did a set of 225(1.5x bodyweight) and felt good, excited to see where I'll be come April when the season starts. If I can keep my weight where it's at, should be noticeable faster this year.

Were those real squats to proper depth or "shitty half-rep squats that 9/10 men in the gym do once the weight starts to feel heavy." I fucking hate half-reppers, what could be an avenue for friendly competition now is just a whole bunch of disbelief and "you squat 4 plates? well, fucking show me, oh, whats that, you don't squat anymore because it hurts your knees?" Rabble rabble rabble.

Everyone who lifts more than Eidal is obviously doing it wrong because he's the strongest, smartest, fastest man on earth.

225 squats are to parallel, lower weight squats I try to drop deep to help really get the glutes.

Calm down, Tiger. If he was bullshitting everyone to look badass he'd go with more than just 225

I go down as far as I can, but I'm not flexible enough to go past parallel. With just an empty bar I still can't go that deep.

I used to have that problem. Last year I hurt my lower back shoveling snow with a trash can so I started doing stretches/yoga as a way to rehab it, and a nice, unintended side effect of that was I found myself able to go a lot deeper during squats.
