Problem???

I choose to keep the use of gear from the girlfriend. That's not the problem. The problem is that I just moved in with her and she see's exactly what I eat and when I eat.

Before we lived together I would eat mostly away from her (no phobia, just because it was easier). She tells me I eat way too much. She said that it's unhealthy how much I consume.

I eat how and when I should. What goes the quickest is milk, chicken, tuna, steaks, and lunch meats. I eat 6 times a day, and to her I'm sure I seem like I eat a lot. But c'mon, it's not like I'm inhaling Big Macs.

She understands it not making me fat and actually it baffles her. I tell her that I need this to continue to grow bigger and stronger. She tells me that I don't need to be bigger and stronger.

How could I explain it to her so she understands?
Sharing gear info is NOT an option.

She knows my goals. I'm just stuck. I refuse to listen to this everyday for the rest of my life!!!
 
Try and tell her how important your goals are to you, and how important her support (or your perception of her support) is to you
 
If she knows your goals then you can explain to her that the only way to reach your goal is to train, eat, and rest. Tell her their are certain things that must be done and a high calorie intake is one of them. Get some articles for her from body for life or any muscle fitness mag. Found out her goals and if you already know them then explain to her that their must be certain things done to achieve them as well. You have to work hard to reach them. If she loves you she should support you as you do her.
 
My girlfriend has also been wondering why I eat so much. I eat 10 whole eggs, 2 glasses of whole milk and a few sweet sticky buns for breakfast. Also I usually eat 10-12 sausage pattues by Farmer John. I eat 3 or 4 Double cheeseburgers for lunch and a king sized fry, a jug of cola, and usually 3/4 of a pizza for dinner. Not to mention my variety of milk shakes and other snacks.

She says I'm getting bigger...(well, she uses the word "fatter" along with various other degrading lines. Is "fatter" even a real word??? Some people and there poor vocabulary.).

Well, she's not really my girlfirend. She broke up with me 2 years ago. :( I think were still friends...I talked to her about 1.5 years ago for a few mins. (till she hung up on me...)

Um...Sorry for that non-sense.

Now on to the real stuff:

Just tell her to f-off and mind her p's and q's. lol.

j/k with ya. Tell her what the other guys said. Good advice.

Try explaining that everyone's metabolism is different, and since you aren't getting fat there is no problem. Tell her you've always had a big appetite. Girls think we eat a lot any way, so just tell her you're starving all the time.
If you choose to not tell her about juicing, be careful not to let her find out accidently. The shock of that wouldn't be good.
 
Just give her one of the bullshit articals from a Flex mag. Tell her it's all of the Cell Tech/Nitro Tech that makes you eat so much. My wife thinks it is amazing how much I can put away. Our friends all tell her she works to pay for groceries, I pay for everything else. You aren't fat so whats the problem? You could also tell her your metabolisim is like a rabbits, then take her to the bedroom and show her:D
 
Well, I have a similar problem.....regarless of what my wife says, I've always eaten a shitload of food - now, almost 100 pounds heavier at times, I eat a lot more. She bitches about my need to eat so frequently AND about my size and muscle mass. Oh well, she can't stand the fact that I'm getting huge and want to continue to do so.................no support with my bodybuilding endeavors whatsoever

ALSO, I'd recommend coming clean about the gear. If she's someone you want to spend a good part of your life with, it'll devastate her if she finds out about it years down the road and finds out you've been lying to her about it.....I know from experience

Think about what's most important to you. If bodybuilding is most important, and she simply won't support you - then you need to break this thing off out of fairness to the both of you.
 
I have the same problem except I'm married....lol

but since I work from home, I can eat all day and she'll never know (unless she starts counting items in the frig and pantry)
 
Get her a copy of Dan Duschaine's Militant Body opus and let her read it and how consuming the amount of food you eat helps your metabolism and with the sport you choose.
 
BiggerStronger that was good. But I feel that if you have to edit your own post then you lose a point or two. You get a 7 for that post.

Everyone else, thank you so much. I think it will help.

Shug, I just see her as one of those who wont accept the gear use no matter I show her (in terms of arguments and articles). That is why I choose not to tell her.
