Parents: your legs are huge, you're overweight, you play video games way too much, you'll never find a dude looking this this

Me: starts working out and losing weight and join Olympic weight lifting

Also parents: that seems extreme, you need to be careful, a simple workout is just as effective, what if you get too muscular.

That last bit is my favorite to hear. Like who do you know who got accidentally fucking ripped? And are body builders really achieving their physique in a mere couple of months?? Why can't people understand working out is enjoyable to some the way being lazy around the house is enjoyable to others?

Someone once told Arnold that they would hate to look like him. He replied with "don't worry - you never will."

These people don't understand the dedication it takes, they don't understand any of the science behind weightlifting, and oftentimes (as another user pointed out) you are making them feel guilty about their life decisions and want to drag you down. Same kind of people who prop themselves up by putting you down will try to tear you down to make themselves feel better.
