Ive had a job for almost 3 weeks now at burger king. I have noticed that Im less focused in school and training ever since I started this job. They are the only people that have called me back ever since Ive been hunting for a job. And I mean THEY ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE CALLED BACK. Im not goona lie I am getting out of shape I used to weigh 154 and im 5"8 tall and now ever since I started this job Ive went up to 164. I also noticed I am not improving in my training anymore and **** im getting worse. This **** is crazy. When im working I eat before I come in. I usually eat something good and healthy at my house but when I get there It takes about a half hour of being around the food and smell of it to get me hungry again. It is very hard to resist. I am ****ing outraged and for sure I will be leaving this ****ing job In a 3-4 weeks. I hate feeling and looking out of shape and right now I am. I have also noticed my performance is not as good as It used to be before I started working. I need money but If I am going to have to suffer in life to get it then the **** with the money I want my life and body back. I am 17 years old and I understand I need a job. Please share your thoughts

As a boxer i would not suggest working anywhere with unhealthy food, it is a big problem for a lot of boxers because those places are usually the only places that are really looking ofr new employee all the time. I would suggest trying to work retail somewhere, My friend had the same problem working at wendy's he drank milk shakes and ate all the fries he could all day, it just didnt mix in with his boxing career to well. -

You could wait tables. If you have trouble getting a job at a nicer place try silver diner or ihop or something usually arent that picky if you look clean and can speak relatively clear english. You'd still be around food but at least you'll probably be busier and you'll be running around which is good too. There might be more healthier food too depending on where you go. Oh and pay will definitely be better.Comment

If you find a part time job is taking over your life, in that its reaching into the other areas of your life, I would recommend you quit. I had to quit one there a few months ago, because I would find myself worrying about certain aspects of it while in college, or I'd have to put off doing things like course work because I would get home tired from work.Originally posted by boxing4ever View Post
It's really not worth it. If it's a case that you really need money, then I'm sure you can find something with a better atmosphere and around better food as other posters said.Comment

Quit man and get a new job, look for something you can be active at. I used to work at the boys and girls club and during the school year i got $10 an hour to play basketball and indoor soccer with kids. and $13.50 for the summer camp. Try and get a moving job like versy. Or like a retail job at a sports store.Comment

How old are you man?Originally posted by Kayo View Post
Dont listen to these guys. Youre doing what you need to do.
Sure find another job, but if you cant, stay there for a while until you find something else.
I always used to drink an energy drink when I was gonna train after work. It will give you a bit of a boost. Trying not to eat fast food is a good idea, try your best.
Remember, hard work can work every calorie off.Comment
