-Diablo's Journal, 17 Jun 22

People who make unpleasant remarks obviously have a problem. I see no reason why you should let their problem become yours. You look pretty damn healthy to me. (My generation did not grow up using the F-word) Hahahaha 

Curious what's up with the haters? You work it, eat it, live it. It obviously works for you! Keep up the positive, Slash the negative. Your posts inspire me to keep working to be better. It's a long road but I am taking steps every day. Thanks for being You.  

I don't know but two of them have been banned and their posts are getting deleted. People slinging drug use claims, "especially because of your diet". You can't eat this and look like this without steroids is a common belief. Hormones don't change CICO. 

It's only been men who don't even lift weights or are very new to it. The ones who have been lifting 5+ years consistently and know what is possible are the ones posting in my defense. 

Btw, thanks Shir and Slyone! 

I'm so glad I'm blissfully unaware of your fb post. I get so much more upset than you do when people are mean to you. 😆🤬 must be love. You look fabulous! 

Dudes getting ripped off of burgers n fries, what’s not to hate! 🤣🤣 awesome work man 💪 people like to believe you must eat a boring diet that makes you miserable for results, which is absolutely not true 

One guy did ask if I was eating sour cream when he saw the Grey Poupon ice cream, haha. I posted a pic of the pint to show him with a "trust me, it's good." :D 

Thanks, DP! One guy did insult you but was quickly banned and his comments were deleted. I don't remember exactly what he said, it was on an older post. It was pretty gross. People REALLY hate guys who they suspect of being fake naturals. It's intense. 

You know it, superman, you're leaner than I am with a similar diet. 

you look great  

Thanks, Aimee! You're doing great! 

I think peds are unfortunately so common now that the younger or newer weightlifters presume that everyone in the gym takes them. They don't see the years of hard work.  

Diablo, I give you a lot of credit, those haters get under my skin and very much like your Princesa, when they say something to my husband, it makes me nuts. I had been off of FB for over a year, just got back on to get information on a fire that's nearby and I am so happy that I will be getting back off again soon. Anyway, you are inspirational to many here on FS, so I am certain the same goes for FB. 👍 

You're right Anne. Thanks! 

Becca, that means a lot! Social media can definitely be super toxic. The sites where people are more anonymous are ruthless. There is a natty or not section on Reddit and you only pass the natty test if you look like a swimmer. Otherwise most believe you're enhanced. 

The few who tell me they use them or the ones who seem obvious to me because of the tell-tale back and shoulder acne aren't even very big. So many turn to drugs instead of being patient and working for it. They never learn what it takes to get and maintain what they are trying to achieve without the drugs. I know it will continue to happen and I'll just take it as a compliment.  

Diablo, that's crazy stuff! I have been trying to live a more simple real life and living in a rural area of New Mexico does make that easier. Social media does have a place in my life, but I try to use the time I spend on it in such a way that for the most part, it adds to my life and doesn't suck the joy out of me. I am gkad there are the tough-skinned ones, like yourself, that speak the truth even when the haters show up. Thank you!

On FB there will always be haters no matter what group you're in unfortunately.
