Stigma attached to going to the gym

As Marie Antoinette said let them eat cake

Pretty sure she was talking about her project team

Todays the anniversary of her getting the chop; watch your back OP.

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.

The cakes bought were

Apple slice.. Which has now been confirmed that its infact a pasty
A bun..which is an immature cake apparently
Danish pastry
Big chocolate cake
Box of jam doughnuts

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

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

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.
