True Life Episode, Very Discouraging

This weekend I watched "True Live: I'm a Competitive Eater". Alot of these guys were ripped, in fact most of had better bodies than me by eatin 2 pounds of hot dogs and goin to bed! While I'm bustin my ass in the gym, they're stuffin 5 pounds of puddin in thier gullets! It was discouraging to say the least.


Anyone else catch it?
 
Y'know, I always compare it to how hard some of us have to work for our money and Paris Hilton has loads of the stuff without having to do a thing for it.

You could look at it like this:

1. Why is she so lucky? She has so much money, she can buy everything!

Or 2: She might have more money, but atleast I WORK for it and I put use to the stuff that fills up our heads:brains. (in Paris Hilton's case: it's just an empty space with maybe some starving insects inside)And the reason people have heard of me isn't because of a homesexvideo that got sprawled all over the net.

She still has more money, but it makes it more bearable, doesn't it?

Same goes for those people blessed with great genes. I can curse them all I want, but it won't make me any slimmer. Instead, I could achieve the same results by working my ass off, while they stuff themselves. but when I finally make it, it does give a sense of acomplishment. The "Wow I really did it!" feeling. I can be proud of myself. I made something that wasn't optimal into something a whole lot better. To be a bit cliche: I set a goal and reached it. The blessed people: "Goals? Huh? What's that?" So they might have it going a lot easier, but that doesn't nessesarily mean they have a nicer life. Looks kinda bland and boring to me.

As for the program: I saw it, and like you I was astonished at what these guys could eat without gaining a gram of fat. I'd be a pig if I did that. O well, I don't like hotdogs anyway.....
 
That one asian fella doesn't eat like that all the time. He eats 6 meals that consist of macros geared towards gaining muscle. He only eats like a madman when he is training for an eating contest.

On top of that, did you see him in the gym? He worked like a mad man, so he wasn't 'blessed' with anything. And none of the other guys looked in shape. They weren't fat, but that doesn't mean you're healthy.

Yea, his workouts looked very intense. He hid his physique pretty well under his clothes. He def looked good.
 
Most of them probably don't even 'keep' what they eat, if you know what I mean.

A-la Monty Python:

How you feeling sir?
Better....better get a bucket, I'm gonna throw up!
