The fact that some absolute idiots think it is acceptable to get stinking drunk, abuse my staff and I on a Saturday night, then cause criminal damage before going home

Oh dear. You do realise this puts a tick in the 'negatives' column, don't you?! Rhubarb crumble is one of my favourite foods!

Although, I suppose that would mean more for me...

Hmmm, we can make a positive out of this if we try!
 
Things that suck...the fact that muscle is denser than fat, so you can actually gain weight in the form of muscle, but LOOK SMALLER because it's dense stuff and you've lost fat.

Yes, I've done this...poo to looking like an AIDS patient...

What is your end goal from your training?

Are you looking to become a competitive offtopic fighter in a certain weight class?

I've never quite got the idea from your posts of what you're training towards?

From the last picture you posted on MAP I'd say you look dam fit and healthy. Nothing like an AIDs patient. I think you should reconsider your lot in life and quickly get to realising it's just not that bad.

I think you need to stare at the mirror for an entire day, then probably smash it along with the scales.

Happiness comes from within. I'm not sure what you are trying to conform to.

That ideal person on your head does not exist, anywhere. Your favourite offtopic fighter has problems, they just don't let them rule their life.

Coronavirus, I apologise in advance if the following post seems harsh, but quite frankly I'm getting a bit fed up with your attitude. It seems to me you have a chip on your shoulder the size of a Giant Redwood. You constantly moan about being a 'weak and feeble' female and over-react to anyone who makes a post in jest about 'female' issues. You do realise that by doing this you confirm all stereotypical views about rabid, unreasonable feminists, don't you?

You also constantly moan about being thin and weak, whilst being able to do lifts/exercises that a lot of men struggle with, this screams of low self esteem and attention seeking behaviour (as does your perception of the way people around you view you). You've had lots of advice about diet, lifting and general attitude, yet you seem to ignore most of what is said to you (or claim that it doesn't work because you are some kind of special case) and keep harping on about the same things over and over again.

I think you need to re-evaluate your attitude to life, decide on some goals, pursue them intelligently and ditch the chip on your shoulder.

I wouldn't normally be this harsh in a post, but I think you need a kick in the butt to rethink your attitude and behaviour or you'll spend the rest of your life moaning about things, blaming others for your problems and never get anywhere.

Spot on, great post.

You (we all) need to talk in the positive as anything else just reinforces the negative.
By saying "I am weak, I can't do it" you are convincing yourself of just that.

Here is an eight fold path taken from The Tao of Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee.

1. Right views (understanding). You must see clearly what is wrong.

2. Right purpose (aspiration). Decide to be cured.

3. Right speech. Speak so as to aim at being cured.

4. Right conduct. You must act.

5. Right vocation. Yourlivelihood must not conflict with your therapy.

6.Right effort. The therapy must go forward at the 'staying speed', the critical velocity that can be maintained.

7. Right awareness (mind control). You must feel it and think about it incessantly.

8. Right concentration (meditation). learn how to contemplate with the deep mind.

To desire is an attachment. To desire not to desire is also an attachment and you will not be free until you rid yourself of ego, for it is ego that maks it impossible to accept what confronts you.

I think number 3 is the most important of all of the above. For example I don't smoke is so much better than I am trying to give up smoking.
 
Thank you!

I'm a pessimist in general - I would rather be pleasantly surprised when things go right, than severely disappointed when things go wrong! I accept my weaknesses and limitations (I'm never going to be a good marathon runner for example) and focus on things I know I can improve or do well at (e.g max deadlift). I want to be accepted for who I am, not spend my life striving to be what others think I should be.

Anti-semites. Especially when they think they're being ironic and funny.

I would post more about how I feel, but that would break ToS so badly I'd have to ban myself.

As happy as I am to have my bag finally up trying to kick with the shin and crashing my toes into the wall hurts. A lot. Like, really a lot.
 
Yep, I've calmed down since time of posting and see it was a pretty hyperbolic and unreasonable sounding post. I was just in a horrible mood at the time and overreacted like hell. Sorry that I bothered you.

I don't see anyone else as at fault for my problems. Neither have I been ignoring the advice people gave me on how to gain muscle, I don't know where that came from. I've been lifting 3x a week and eating surplus protein and fat to add mass. Now I'll admit I shouldn't be so affected by other people's perceptions, but it is hard not to get frustrated when I eat like crazy, half kill myself lifting and successfully gain a little bit of weight and people say things to me like 'Oh I'm scared to hug you in case I hurt you, you're so small...' or insist on helping me take out 5kg of my own shopping.

Just want to gain some extra muscle, as I'm quite the ectomorph and I've always wanted to look a bit heavier.

It's working, just fairly slowly, and I wasn't exactly in a calm, reasonable state earlier, lol.
