Stigma attached to going to the gym

MrBizzles

I work in an office on a project team, yesterday we finished off a project that we had spent months on. To celebrate the project leader decided to buy us all cakes from the local bakery. One of the girls was put on the cake getting duties,She went around the whole team taking everyones cake request..when she got to me she just assumed i wouldnt want cake..her exact words were "you wouldnt want any cake would ya??" & she was dead serious about it..gave me the your getting no cake look

I go the gym quite regulary & to be quite frank about it, im in fairly good nick. other people on the team who are carrying a bit of timber, they were getting there cake & eating it..no questions asked. Now im not one of these lads who looks at food packs for saturated fats/carbs etc or who doesnt sink pints of a saturday night because of the calories they contain..i train 4 days a week & eat /drink what i want

I wanted cake & lots of it..Now i did get my cake in the end, but only after i was subjected to shock & awe...people were saying you will have to stay in the gym for an extra hour tonight...what??? Even when i was eating my cake it felt a bit like people were looking at me thinking i cant believe hes having a bit of cake. I had worked hard for that cake, months of overtime & working Saturdays & here I am getting questioned about my cake

Has anyone else been a cake victim simply because they look after themselves? Or you been the victim of the reverse scenerio where your carrying a bit of timber & people just assume your mad for cake?

Cakes purchased:
Apple slice..my choice, had to fight for it though
A bun..which in my view isnt a cake & should not have been bought
Danish pastry
Big chocolate cake
Box of jam doughnuts

People make a big deal out of going the gym,its almost like who does he/she think they are getting themselves fit..when i was in my twenties i was on the beer/pizza diet, was carrying a bit of timber myself. Now im in my 30's & getting on in years i decided to get the body in shape. Little did i know that my freedom to eat cake would come into question

On a thread entitled 'Stigma attached to going to the gym'?

Where are people's heads? In cake I suppose.

This thread raises two possibilities.....

1) Veiled - "Oh look at me, I workout and go to the gym thread."

2) Veiled - "Fúck me I'm desperate for a girlfriend, best tell everyone that I'm pretty buff thread."

Apple slice definitely falls under the category of "pastry".. nothing cake-y about it at all! Unless you meant apple sponge cake?

I would prefer to be overlooked for cake than have them push it on me because they think I could do with it. Cake pressure is a lot worse!

This is an outrage where's the lemon drizzle cake!!! You need to seriously assess your position with this company.

And get back to the gym and stop eating cake!

Thanks AH, now when I'm thinking of going to the gym I'll get a craving for cake.

AnonoBoy

I used to know a guy called Jim.

Funny thing was he hated going to the gym!

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners GYM BROS AND FATTIES will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood AND EAT CAKE TOGETHER."

The opposite thing happens to my sister's boyfriend. He is about 17 stone and 6ft 4, so if he goes to the local shop for a roll, they overfill it for him. He has never asked for extra (but he is happy to have it!) but because he is a big fella they give it to him.

However, if my sister goes to get him the roll at the same shop, she is given a normal roll, not overfilled. She is a size ten.

So now he always gets the rolls himself. Anyway, point being, he is often given bigger sizes or portions of food, because he is a big guy. He is fit though, as he cycles a lot and plays rugby and goes to the gym.

I'm in terrific shape; I have very little body fat. People always look at me in awe as I devour my 17 sandwiches in the canteen everyday. "Where the feck do you put it?" they ask.

Frankly your workmates appear to be a little lacking in the brain department.

So you could've gone for a big fat chocolate cake or a box of jam donuts to yourself.
And you opted for a measly apple slice.

Congratulations OP, you have FAILED AT CAKE

Did you have tea or coffee with it?

You couldn't eat cake dry, unless maybe it was a flan.

Very little body fat?
I dunno. If you're eating 34 slices of bread a day I'm really doubting that.

MrBizzles

The more i think about the more ridiculous it was to question if i wanted cake

1.It was Monday afternoon - who wouldnt want cake on a Monday afternoon

2.We're all IT consulants/developers - its well known everyone in IT loves cake

3.who says no to FREE cake

4. Limerick people love cake

pharmaton

fat people be jelly

I was the same op, lost a lot heading in to my thirties and got into fitness routine which I still maintain, it's not that I wasn't offered cake though, oh no. It was quite the opposite especially where female friends or relatives were concerned. It was "here have a bit of cake" or "how about a second serving of roast beef with all the lashings" or oh.."I just added some extra butter and fat to your cornflakes hope that's ok".
Family made loads of comments about not eating enough and losing too much weight but coming from people who were verging on obese it all made sense. Over the last few years a lot of women who were overweight on meeting them have gone down the same route and joined gyms or started eating plans and have lost a lot of belly jelly, they look great but rest assured, the evening sitting at home bitching about so and so who's lost a ton and is looking well had a lot to do with it.

And they're peanut butter and jam sandwiches at that.

No I was exaggerating. I only eat 8 sandwiches a day with ham, cheese and rancheros. Yummy.

The cake was a lie.
