Every time I tell a guy that I’ve changed my diet or I’m eating healthy (doesn’t even have to be a partner. Could be a friend, family member, even a coworker) they start to ask a million questions and then start telling me what I should do to get slimmer. Whether or not I ask. Then they start to try and get me to workout with them and create schedules that match their endurance levels instead of mine..

It’s so annoying. If I’m just getting into working out, of course I can’t go from zero to 100. I hate when they try to make me engage in workouts that require strength and endurance before engaging in, not realizing that doing too much too soon can hurt me. And when I tell them I’m just beginning, they’ll say shit like “no excuses!”

Meanwhile, they end up burning themselves out in a month tops and they’re the ones sitting there with beer bellies and dad bods. I really don’t understand this type of response. It happens almost every time.
