Why do friends become "A" Holes when you change your body ?

It's normal, you look better and usually more attractive to females, making your friends look worse and more self concious around females in your company, u on dat dere alpha time cuz and don't they know it.

I only ever explained what I was doing if I got asked about it, Some of the things, I won't repeat them all but the main ones are "you look a right mess" "you ok there aids victim" "Why dont you try going to the gym you look ill" "If I looked like you id hang myself".

And those are the nice ones.

what are they, 10 years old? :confused:
 
Are they bravado style mates? Talk No swearing. normally, and now you are the target? (I.e. you and them would happily talk about others like this before hand, and now you are the butt of the jokes).

Richie Porte look-a-like. 165llbs + like I know the freaking percentage of bodyfat!!

While you were getting fit did you constantly tell people about the nutritional content of the food they were eating, correct them when anything to do with exercise or food was the subject or recommend going to the gym to them?

Lost a friend this way. We got along great until he got a rejection from the girl of his dreams. He looked in the mirror and related he needed to loose a stone in weight.

Overnight he transformed into a fitness freak who nobody likes. He spends every waking moment either working or exercising, sleeps 10 hours a day, reels of the latest nutritional science every day, proclaims the holier and healthier than thou attitude.
To begin with we didn't think it was too bad and he trained himself to run a marathon in under 4hrs. We all hoped he would stop then but that just set his goals on a sub3.5hr marathon, then a 3hr15. His desk is littered with sports and exercise books as well as journals and papers from the latest research. That is all he talks about.

He ever socialists, never eats real food, never drinks and just isn't fun to be with. He used to be good drinking buddies, and would join us for dinner. Now he eats like A rabbit and never goes out, even to a personal dinner party.


Plus he looks really ugly now, skiing and gaunt but plenty of loose skin from the weight loss. Eyes are deep set and just look empty like a drug user because he is just pushing his body so hard constantly.

Not pleasant to see psychological issues have such an effect.
 
I have friends of all shapes and sizes, and they respect me for my dietary and exercise/lifestyle choices, and I don't complain or turn my nose up at theirs (unless they complain about their weight... ;)). However, my friends (of all shapes and sizes) take me as I am, and I take them as they are - we're friends, I don't care, they don't care, about how I look or what I do with myself, as long as I'm not doing myself or them any damage or pain.

Stats - undisclosed. Pretty healthy though.

Seems very OTT, are they saying it in a 'jokey' way or being straight faced about it?

Also, 211 lbs and 6ft 2 isn't overly skinny by any means.

As others have said maybe time to find some new friends...
 
Sounds like your so-called "friends" are a bunch of idiots. I would positively encourage any friend of mine who took the effort to sort themselves out physically. It's not easy, and people pushing themselves to do it don't need jealousy-laden **** thrown at them from people who are supposed to be on their side.

Ditch 'em.
