So it was ok for you to be an athlete— but “weird” for other people to exercise? At some point in your athletic career, did anyone mention things like joy and fitness to you? For many people, exercise is about a lot more than “competing”.

I have not experienced this at all and I have lost a lot of weight and gotten into shape. The only person I've met who had that type of reaction was very ..."look at me but I'm going to act like I don't want you to look at me.'. There were always small comments about her workout, or meal prep, or whatever. And when people kind of rolled their eyes at her she took that as everyone was jealous of her because she was so amazing.

How dumb. Enjoying exercise is a positive thing and you're knocking it? Ridiculous.

It’s interesting cause you read that person’s post and you heard exercising. And the person is talking about exercising to the point where you’re ready for the Olympics.

One is healthy and the other is obsessive

Nobody just literally exists.

Marathon runners talk about marathons
CrossFit people talk about CrossFit
Pickleball people talk about Pickleball
Parents whose kids aren’t Ivy League schools talk about Ivy League schools.

Just stop

I really didn’t want to believe that it was a matter of jealousy, but holy cow. Do other people experience this? I know, I sound arrogant, but I promise I’m not making it up. It’s not my attitude… I am kind, generous, inclusive, not braggy, etc. It feels so unfair.

I don’t know how anyone sees this as anything other than a troll

It’s kind of funny in a way

“I know, I sound arrogant, but I promise I’m not making it up”

This is straight out of the Dear Playboy “letters” from the 1970s

OP it really sounds like you are trying to make a thing of this. Just enjoy your life.

I find that I don’t really care how fit other women are at my age since I’ve already achieved everything you can by being fit for the appreciation of other people.

I have a 3m house and all my bills paid for

I have close to 500K in cash accounts my ex doesn’t know about

All my kids are already millionaires just by the investments we have put aside for them. They are all successful with no college debt.

If you don’t want another mate, just do what you want.

It’s what you get to do, I don’t have to stay fit for anyone, anymore. I have chicken pot pies in my freezer and sometimes I even get to eat them while women who need to stay fit still have to eat ****

Do you perhaps dress provocatively and they're judging that?

Sexist troll at that.

I have not had this experience. Maybe you aren’t friends with enough lesbians?

OP: I know. I sound like a teenager.

OP: I promise I’m not. I was always very athletic and I bounced back without a ton of effort. Mostly better food choices.

Not OP, but there's a huge difference between simply losing weight, and gaining muscle.

Troll.
