Calisthenics Unity

So im 15 so i still live with my family at home, often when thy offer me cake or chocolate and i decline they are annoyed or if I talk about one day measuring my calorie intake (once like chris suggested) they say its stupid and a waste of time. So i was wondering how should i deal with this and if chris or anyone else went through this thing when they were starting out.

Don't worry bro, you have to deal with these kind of people during your journey because only few can understand how important this is for you and what you're willing to sacrifice. People used to tell me everyday that calisthenics won't get you muscle growth or that having a specific diet in my age (17) is stupid but now after one year everybody compliments me about my body and skills. The main idea is that people sometimes just can't do something themselves and they say to you it's stupid or don't do it. Don't listen to them and just keep going, it's no surprise for you to be lonely in your journey. Keep it up 💪💪💪

What Alteo said!!

I didn't really have this, I just thought in my mind what my parents would think if I start counting calories/macros, so I kinda did it 'hidden', but then I just started doing it myself and asked my mom what she thinks of it and she didn't negatively preach to me. Dad thought it's a bit stupid, but I weighed out the dark chocolate he was eating after a big lunch (2x4 squares of the chocolate) and told him it's 310 calories and he got surprised, so then they realized why I'm doing it. But what Alteo said is exactly what I was going to say. My friends ask me why I have this kind of nutrition at just 16 years old but I ask them why they eat all that bad stuff at 16 years old. Be different to succeed bro!

Exactly what these guys said! I'd just like to answer your question a different way. How do you deal with these type of people(which, in fact, will always be there)? You don't, you simply don't. What should you do? Ignore them. Let the gains do the talking. Keep it up and don't lose hope bro.💪

That's funny cause very often the most unsupportive people are your parents. I faced that myself when I started eating healthy - they were laughing at me. Thats the part of changing your body and your life. It's possible that they will never fully accept it so I would recommned ignoring it. It may be difficult, but sometimes its just necessary. In the end maybe they will tolerate it so just don't listen to them XD

I don't tell my friends or even my girlfriend about it as I know they wouldn't think it was great and just tease me for being scrawny, i doesnt bother me just when my family stop me doing it, it can get quite hard/irritating.
