What the hell happened to you??
ad
Alright I am 32 years old. Very much young and chipper. Looking and feeling my best has and always will be a priority. Every now and then I get on Facebook and see people I knew from high school or even college and think what the fuck happened to y’all. Your all fat and sloppy looking like you lost a fight with the worlds largest bumblebee! It’s even worse when I occasionally see someone in person. Their always like “OMG you look incredible. You must spend all your time in the gym.” I sit there and think, no I just give a fuck and maybe you should to. Does this ever happen to anyone else or is it just me facing this phenomenon?

Simple answer: You are what you eat. I never eat fast food - never have eaten McDos, Burger King, blah blah. If I eat pizza - it's all home-made, including the dough, and haven't had a pizza for 3 years. My diet is fruit, veges, fish, chicken, eggs, whey and occassionally steak (as a treat). High fat and high sugar diets will have you looking like shit in no time flat. My indulgence for myself is wine. A good bottle of wine can make any meal seem like its special - no matter how often a week you eat it.
LF0rw4rd1So difficult to control your food,whay you will say about sugar?
PcushionSugar isn’t a big issue in the states high fructose corn syrup is the issue. It’s hard for the body to process it. Hollow calories and excess sugars are a recipe for disaster.
I have never found it difficult to control my food - most of the time my wife eats more than me. Food has never, and will never be important to me - that's why I never got beyound 210lb body weight - just didn't and couldn't eat the food required to get bigger.
If you want to kick anything out of your diet - make it sugar. It is a simple carbohydrate with almost zero nutrient value other than immediate energy, and that if not used, your body will store it in fat cells for possible future energy needs making those cells larger - and making you larger....especially if you don't burn that energy through high calorific exercise.
People think that it's the fat in their diets that makes them obese - it contributes - but sugar is the major culprit.
jayiskWine is very relaxing. Which is great for stress. And it turn is good for the body and the heart.
Alphamale500That's very true. As we all know, wine is made from grapes, and grapes contain very healthy polyphenol compounds called Resveratrol and Pterostilbene which are both part of the stilbene family. They are powerful antioxidants with anti-cancer and anti-aging properties among others.
Pterostilbene is a fairly recent discovery that really has amazing potential for increasing the life span. The stilbene family contains properties that show promise in treating and preventing many things like age-related diseases, diabetes, cancer, energy endurance enhancement, heart disease and Alzheimer's.
If you're someone who's into taking supplements, then you can't go wrong with 100mg of Resveratrol and 50mg of Pterostilbene each day. Or I guess you can do it the good old fashioned fun way and just drink lots of wine, lol! But idk if you'll be getting sufficient amounts of each compound.
Yes it does relax which is a good thing, but the jury is still out on the heart health aspect. I don't really care - I was almost a casket case a year or two ago, and I have been a wine drinker for 40 years - so now I just enjoy what I can, while I can.
Nah bro... i see this all the time. Even some of my friends that were hella athletic & built in high school, im like... da f*** happened to you? Ill see people who ive seen like 3 years ago gain hella weight... crazy just how many people truly dont care imho.
That and im at the age where everyone is starting to get married, have kids and buy houses. Im just over here drinking my whiskey and laughing.
ever drink that Woodward reserve?
Usually one of my go-to brands.
either that or laws 4 grain bourbon
Yo bill, shoot me a FR if you ever want to talk about woodford reserve. I used to represent the brand. If you go to the distillery they have a fucking amazing double double oaked version (we like to call it quadruple oaked).
I will be goin there in bout month only couple hours away!
You’re going to love it, it’s a great tour!
It’s good stuff. I keep a bottle of that and a bottle of home made from a buddy of mine. Once in a while he will give me a fresh bottle of clear whisky too.
We were just talking about this. Jlo, toni braxton, and a couple others who age so well. I think the gym will keep your body in shape but a lot has to do with genetics. And most important lifestyle. Drugs, alcohol, and just not caring will take its toll. A great bod with a old wrinkly face still looks old. But yes, its crazy looking at people in the past that look like they are a couple steps away from the grave.
Alphamale500I recently turned 39 and I notice a lot of the same things you do. I especially notice the difference with females though. There are those few that look almost the same as they did in high school. But so many of these other girls have either gotten very very thick, or their faces look like they're 20 years older than they really are. Some of their faces have a lot of miles on them and look like they've really been through a lot! Or they look beat up just like you said.
It seems that they just like to use their increasing ages as an excuse that how they look isn't as important, so they can load on that fat around their asses and thighs. Or they think that big asses is the style now so it's ok for them. Don't get me wrong, I do like nice big asses, but they've gotta be firm and tight asses! But not when there's like dimples and cellulite all over the ass. How dare these fuckn women for getting older, lol!!!
Btw, have you ever run into someone you know but haven't seen in a real long time, and they say something like, "Wow, you look great"! But you don't know what to say back because they literally look like they've been smoking crack and look terrible? So you just say, "thanks, thanks!"
It's not only women who have that attitude of getting older is an excuse for letting yourself go. Fact is, it's endemic to both genders ( and the now plethora of genders in between). Look around at all the Walruss-guts on guys who think that strutting around with a metre of gut hanging out the front in manly. Those people never had anything to let go of in the first place. They were just lucky that for a small window of time they looked good.
If someone compliments me, I compliment them back - no skin off my nose and we both know the facts, so I play the social game.
PcushionLOL Yes I have had that happen. Couldn’t agree more with everything you said. The worst is the excuse well I have had kids... All I can think is so has my fiancé and she looks fucking incredible bc she gives a shit. I have come to the conclusion that it’s either in you or it’s not. Single, married whatever I enjoy looking my best.
Alphamale500Absolutely, I love looking my best at all times too. Yeah women love to use that excuse that they have kids, to let their asses and thighs get huge. And I can't stand that saying, "They're beautiful just the way that God made them." And you got parents telling their children this bullshit! No, God didn't make you a 350lb fat slob. It's your total disregard for your own health that's gotten you where you are.
That's what a lot of these very obese people don't realize. It's not just about looks, but it's about your health and how you're fucking it up with all the food, candy and who knows what you're stuffing down your throat!!
Idk man!! I can't understand some of these people. That's why so many people have fatty liver disease, diabetes, clogged arteries and heart disease, etc.. And these fat fucks riding those little carts in the supermarket! SMFH!!
These same people that stuff their face with donuts and soda are the same ones that talk down on steroids like their lifestyle is so much more healthy.
are you saying that donuts and soda are bad?
They are if you eat more of that than healthy foods. I eat my share of donuts but not to the point where I’ll have diabetes and heart problems. I have an 18 years old half brother that is very very obese but my stepmom thinks my steroid use is bad while he smokes pot all day and eats junk. I don’t mind pot smoke either as I’m a dead head and have smoked my share of pot and taken my share of lsd but he smiles all day... too much. I get your sense of humor though I got one too. I like my donuts but I haven’t drank a soda in ten years.
lol...no way you're a dead head ?? ;-) i rarely eat or drink of them .. i usually feel like garbage after wards and the eating and drinking don't supply me enough pleasure to make the feeling like garbage worth it.
For sure all the time. I'm 49 and in better shape than all of my colleagues and their 20 something kids. Especially since I moved to north. I don't know what these people are eating but I have seen the most obese people I've ever seen up here.
Like 50cent said
“Damn homie in high school you was the man homie”
ugh.. try dating these days... most guys my age look ten days older than dirt. are either offended because my arms are bigger than theirs or they want to fing wrestle... I don't look my age or act my age I guess ...
So you and Goth have an open relationship? Hmmmm...
Haha JkJk I believe it though. I have 40 year old Male friends that look like seniors.
so .. you're scared of Goth ???? lol
Sssooooooo......you’re looking for a date huh?..... how do you feel about older, slightly off center, fairly good shape, independently wealthy ( over 500$ in the bank at all times), and never has stinky feet! ( always a quality trait).... asking for a friend......
I have a buddy whos fat, bald, and ugly. He gets ass like a toilet seat. I asked him before, "your old, fat, ugly and stink, how do you bag all these chicks?" His reply was, "if you shoot enough arrows, your bound to hit something. Good luck bro, I mean, good luck to your friend.
some people have an intangible something that over rides looks. someone can look fantastic and as soon as their lips move their looks go down the toilet.... I have told people to just stop talking ... they never do lol
does your friend have teeth and hair?
All teeth are present,....and straight!.... hair left along time ago tho.....but he does have a GREAT personality!...
One drawback tho, he is still known to do the robot on the dance floor and occasionally a little breakdancing...he just can’t let go of the 80s...
I can close my eyes when he does that 80's stuff lol
But you surely have an advantage being in this lifestyle, hell you're never going to age on the outside, i bet every day you look better
lol one second of resting bitch face.... combined with my delts, traps, and arms ... they usually manually shut their own mouths and move out of my way ;-)
PcushionYou know the older I get the more I realize how important it is to not act my age.
I pretend I am 25 .... most of the time it's ok but then there are some days when I yell at myself that I am NOT 25 anymore
PcushionThe days you want to yell about not being 25 you should act 24...
less is better
lol... maybe I ll just think 20 ... for good measure
PcushionThat’s the spirit!!!
I guess we all know that to be truth but myself I spend more time appreciating the others I grew up with that still look good (like me). They are rare but there are a few. I also make an effort to encourage others to use the only fountain of youth we have (the gym). That said I also temper any urge to boast with the fact I use gear that could potentially shorten my life as well, so am I really better? I have made peace with what I do and the risk, if they are happy in their own skin good for them. My wife and get lots of compliments so we hopefully are inspiring a few others along the way.
PcushionI agree we will all answer for our hormone consumption in some way. The goal is to be smart about it and vigilant so we minimize the risks we take. I too have made peace with the decisions I make regarding hormone use. That said I am very careful about how I go about it and I know you are too.
Wait til you get to be KMC's age. This is him talking to his high school classmates at his last reunion (I was his plus 1)
I was thinking, "Damn, KMC looks pretty good; relatively."
jayiskmy wife shows me pics of people we knew back in the day and they were good looking. Now mind you the majority of my life i was an alcohol/drug addict, didnt eat right, chronic insomnia, different types of health issues, etc.. So you would think i should look like Keith Richards by now...lol
but throughout i always worked out and also from 17 to early 30's worked hard labor blue collar jobs.
i am 47 now and these pics my wife show i cant even recognize the people. they just gave up on themselves.
and i dont want to hear the they dont have time bullshit or any other excuse.
was talking to a gentlemen in the gym the other day who was 75 yrs old. I thought he was in his late 50's.
He said that is why he still goes to the gym . to feel and look younger.
PcushionI live for the gym. It’s my escape from the world.
Alphamale500100% true bro!!! I feel the same way. I don't understand some people. Why wouldn't you wanna look your best at all times??
jayiskthe gym is my sanctuary and only therapy that truly works for me...,and i've tried all sorts of things.
i say this a lot but most people dont get it or just glance over but it is very true for me.
If I didnt train I would end up killing someone and/or be getting high and drunk again...,esp at the current moment.
I know some people understand what i mean.
I feel this very deeply.
PcushionI understand completely.
