One of the contributing factors of fatness in Saudi Arabia…

Is that everything revolves around fucking junk food! Not only that, but if you don’t dig your face in the junk they offer you, you are rendered an infidel… or something. What brought this up? Well, work! Fucking every unit I go to has a day a week where someone buys a bunch of junk and everyone in the unit should start pigging out on it, or else they aren’t a “team player”. Do you know what I mean? Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against them eating crap and looking like… I’d rather not say… but my problem is with their attitude or reaction if someone in the unit (like me) doesn’t want to indulge in that crap because I actually watch what I eat. It’s either:
“Why are you like this? Do you have a problem with us? We aren’t Jews, why don’t you eat with us?”
Or
“You’re dieting? Why? 6ayib, this is good food… lots of protein!! You eat protein, right? Look, there’s some fool (beans) over here, eat!!”
Or, what my supervisor said
“Distancing yourself like this from the others doesn’t look good. You should interact more with your coworkers”

So, I grabbed a cup of coffee and went in. I sit there, sipping my coffee, TRYING TO HAVE A FUCKING CONVERSATION WITH ANYONE!!! BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I can’t open my mouth without someone saying “what? Our food isn’t up to your standards?”

It’s going to be my turn to bring them breakfast soon… I was thinking of cooking up some plain oats, egg whites, and some veggies just to see how they’d react and if anyone would eat. If they don’t eat, I wonder what I’d say? …. But… meh… why waste my time… I’ll buy the usual junk and watch them gorge on it… besides, although I usually don’t care what my supervisor says or anything like that as long as I get my work done, but it wouldn’t look very good when all the employees and other supervisors of the division are all waiting for food and I get them saw dust and Styrofoam. Nope, would not look good at all. Ever seen a fat person who’s starving and waiting for his food and you get him something that isn’t double deep fried in molten chocolate? Yeah, not pretty.


This shit takes time!!! Be patient!

Just so you know how I come up with this crap… I keep hearing it over and over again… client after client… friend after friend… coworker after coworker… until I just get sick and tired of hearing it. Then, I post it on here. I’m saying this because I met a client this weekend, and I don’t want him to feel like he’s responsible for this post :) …. Anyway… what I’m talking about is beginners who expect to turn into competitive bodybuilders overnight. “when will I see results?”, “when will I look like a bodybuilder?”, “when will I bench 315 lbs?” … If you’ve been training for a couple of months (I don’t care if you’re doing it right or not), if you didn’t develop an “impressive” physique (you know, people start asking you if you work out. People start telling you that you look great… etc), you aren’t genetically gifted. You are normal… like 99% of us out there. You will need years to develop a pretty good physique. I’m not talking a superheavy weight competitor physique!! No… I’m talking the slightly muscular, very lean look. There was a comment a couple of weeks ago in one of the posts where [r] said “Since you mentioned brad pitt, his physique is definitely acheivable by anyone that trains religiously and matches his diet accordingly.“ … 5-6% fat at 150 lbs or so will take years… is it achievable? Yes!... how long? Very long. People forget that it took me 4.5 years to go from 62 kg looking skinny/fat (skinny limbs, no fat on body except for a flabby spare tire) to 75 kg on stage at around 7% fat or maybe a bit less. I would assume that I was at 15% or so when I started. 4.5 years to gain 17 kg (37 lbs) of muscle. That’s around 8.5 lbs per year!!!! Less than 4 kg per year!!! True, the first 2 or 2.5 years I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing… but I was reading a lot and believing all the “free info” out there on the net. When I started to go in depth with nutrition and training and shit, I started gaining more. But still… most people want 20 lbs of lean mass and 20 lbs of fat loss in 6 months. It does not work that way!!! PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE ALL THE STUPID COMMERCIALS WITH ALL THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES THAT TRY TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO IT IN 8 WEEKS!!!!
Some people (who aren’t my clients) have told me that I’m ripping people off by saying this, because they can do it in 6 weeks if they wanted, and I just want to get as much money as possible from them. Of course, most of these people are fat, out of shape, and eat like pigs… so, it’s easy for them to live in la la land and just assume this crap. Those are the same people who join a gym and pay the fee for a whole year, go there for a week, end up gaining 3 or 4 kilos, then they quit… and they blame it on “I didn’t have time to work out or diet… you’re lucky, you don’t have work… oh, you have work? Well, you’re lucky you aren’t married… what? You’re married? You’re lucky you don’t have children… HA HA GOTCHA!!!!”… and this same guy is unemployed and lives with his parents at the age of 30… anyway… I only want my clients to be with me for 6-12 months… any client who stays for a longer period is usually the one who says “I don’t care about the money, I just don’t want to think about it… send me the shit and I’ll do it”… I want my clients to ask as many questions as they can during the training period so that they could continue on their own. How’s that for a business strategy? Yeah, I know… not the sharpest tool in the shed… but whatever… please… you all know fat people who lost a lot of weight in 3 or 4 months… please please please please please ask them to take their shirt off… do you want to look like that? I only know one person who was extremely fat and then got really lean (around 10% fat) with a little muscle mass… do you know how long it took him to do that? I swear to you, it took him 6 years. From 120 kg or so, to 70 kg… lean and muscular. Be patient… please be patient… you shouldn’t ask “am I gonna burn off all this fat and gain all the muscle I want in 10 weeks?”… you should be asking yourself “I wonder what I’ll look like in 5 years?”… because no one changes over night. Not even with surgery… you need 4 weeks to recover from surgery… if you get liposuction and they suck off 4 lbs off your fat ass, you will be out for 2-4 weeks… in 4 weeks you could’ve burned those 4 lbs easily and you wouldn’t have to shill out $3K…

Here… this was my skinny ass before I started training… yes, I had hair… God, I miss my hair… it was shitty, but atleast I had it… now it falls off from where I want it to grow and it grows in places I never thought possible :(
I was around 62 kg here





I took me 4.5 years to be 75 kg at this condition





I takes a while… yeah… fucking I want to gain 20 more lbs of muscle and lose all the fat on my body in 2 days!!! But you don’t see that shit happening now, do you? Trust me, if I saved up all the money I spent on snake oil and crap that promised “20 lbs of muscle in 12 weeks guaranteed” and “2 lbs of pure fat loss per week” I would have a Lexus SC430 right now… There is no fast way to do it… this is a marathon, not a race.
