When my first oneitis dropped me 6 months ago and i saw her on tinder the day after I was crushed. Since then I started lifting like my life depended on it and went from skinny fat to big arms, shoulders, traps and while not looking impressive shirtless cause im not cut yet I'm filling shirts up and being more confident than ever wearing things I would have never thought of wearing before.
For me the change was like a light switch after the breakup, I went from completely sedentary eating fastfood and sugar to perfect nutrition weighing everything and lifting weights 6 times a week untill I see stars from deadlifting. This took a lot of close people by surprise and while most of them congratulated me for my progress I was met with negative comments and remarks from some friends, close family members and the one that hurts the most, my dad.
My dad not liking the fact that I took lifting seriously hurt a lot. My question is why would some of the people closest to me be so unsupportive of something that I'm now so passionate about and how do I go about people in the future making negative comments about being "obsessed" with the gym and tracking my protein/calories.
