As opposed to a top 10 list of some of the semi-negative aspects of weightlifting, I offer some of the positives:
1. Women like feeling your arms, chest, shoulders, etc…
2. At meals, friends and family are always offering you their leftovers since they know of your caloric intake.
3. Your sister complains that you have a bigger cup size.
4. You are sick of the question “How much can you bench?”
5. You hear from armchair experts “You’re too big; I just wanna ‘tone.’”
6. You get to eat LOADS of food in front of other people and still look good, while they eat their leaf of lettuce in a vain and futile attempt to lose weight.
7. Your son/little brother/nephew can say “No. He really IS bigger than your dad!”
8. Friends always ask you to help them move on the days when they’ve got the fridge and the couch to go.
9. Blood-shot eyes, vomiting, and praying for death are all badges of honor after doing squats.
10. Your grocery cashier no longer asks “Sheesh! How many people do you have to feed in your family?” when you buy 4 gallons of milk, a dozen cans of tuna fish, 10 pounds of chicken breasts, 4 pounds of cottage cheese, 5 pounds of rice, etc., etc., every 4 days.

I'll be getting my CSCS this summer and hopefully doing the same. I always see someone that's out of shape and think, "I could get that guy down to 170 in three months," or something reasonably similar.

Mack.....me too. Wow Ive thought I need to start a program for children, teens who are overweight. I was in a private gym and this beautiful young woman came into the gym very overweight. We talked and I ended up taking her through a workout. I had just bought some Muscle Fitness Mens and Womens magazine copies and gave them to her. Oh Lord....is this how fitness instructors are Born :) hehehehe I think really the most wonderful thing about all this humor is that its so true but more than that...the way one feels being in good health is amazing and we just want to share that with anyone who will listen. My first thought after some morning prayers and thank you's for a good life is I HAVE TO GO TO THE GYM NOW. :) Fitness Crazy what a great thing to be crazy about. LOL POWER TO THE PEEPS..okay that just scared me!!! Power...gotta go lift :) Peace Out!

Ok, so I'm not going to do a full 10 point list, but yet another one -
*Your bf gives you protein powder for your birthday!
All our friends thought it was crazy, but I had actually asked for it!
(Before this starts any sort of controversy, this was in addition to a more normal bf-gf bday present too ;o) )

I don't think that people who are overweight are "UNHAPPY". The question is are you happy with the way you are. If not, then there are people here who can help you

lol, hey kirby, I would have taken the protein alone without any other gift, that would have been good enough for me. I guess I am low maintainance though.
