not for nothing, i post what comes to mind on MY blog.
I understand that some of you care about me and all that stuff and i do welcome SOME advice.
but...
here's some advice to SOME people who may be on a kick about posting the Nutritional Values to things that I mention that I've eaten....
(and I've posted a similar response in a couple of the entries... here and here)
do you really think that i am a fucking retard and don't know that a double cheeseburger is not the ideal meal to lose weight on?
do you really think that posting the nutritional values and stats within my comments is going to make me say "HOLY SHIT! I thought that double cheeseburger was only 90 calories! wow! gee! I'd better grab a fucking salad!"
well, pal, I understand that a burger is not swellegant.
Maybe you should understand that sometimes people need to be in the mindset to lose weight and go about it on their own.
Maybe the passive-aggressive "we're all pulling for you" type of comment followed by the attempt at the statistical guilt trip is NOT the fucking way to go about things.
Maybe one should realize that I also am not the only one in this house - which makes it more difficult to grab food - and also had to buy dinner for my mother and cousin a few nights over the past week.
I am not trying to be a bitch - but, seriously, what the fuck? I am not emailing anyone saying "hey, drop that morsel" or posting on anyone else's websites judging them or whatnot or trying to make them feel guilty for what they may have ingested.
That's not how it works.
Also, yeah, this is my blog and I do lay my life out on this thing.
It's also my journal and I invite people to read it and that's fine, but, I do not need people typing out fucking nutritional fucking value charts within the comments.
GET IT?
I don't need a "You were doing great and you seemed so upbeat about posting your exercise stats."
I haven't posted my stats this week because I've been busy dragging gigglemom to the doctor's the hairdresser, driving around to meet with clients, working 18 hours a day and dealing with other personal stuff that I haven't posted about.
The fact that I DO post my stats on here is more than a lot of people do out there.
The fact that I post my weight on here is more than many would be willing to write about.
The fact that I am trying to be open on here and writing about needing/wanting/trying to lose weight on here is a hell of a lot more than some folks yap about.
I do not want to be made to feel like I can't write about my life and how I am feeling or if I want to post about a frigging cheeseburger or M&M's
I don't want to feel like I need to fucking start lying on my own blog and saying "oh, I had a delicious salad today" because I am living in fear of "disappointing" a reader who wants to post fucking Calorie counts on here.
Anyway...It's nice that I was TOTALLY FUCKING EXCITED about meeting Norm and posted photos on my site showing that I did and I get not one comment, yet, I get a couple of comments saying how much they care about me and then fucking list Total Fat and Fucking Calories and then say how if I'm on WW then it's not on the menu.
Welcome to the YapFest (9 yapped)
I love you! I love your blog. I love that you get to meet all these interesting celebrities. I love that you share the trivial crab that accompanies each of our lives and not just the *high* points. I was too awe struck that you met Norm McDonald to post anything. I would have, could I have thought of something clever to say other than "WOW, just freakin' WOW!" I love it that I 'know' someone that makes me smile once in a while when I, too am glomming down an entire bag of chocolate and "Aunt Flo" is still two weeks away because the effing school district refuses to provide the minimally appropriate services for my autistic child. And after seven years in the district, they are just now asking, well, how can we make it better, when they only have him for 4 more years AAAANNNNDD, it's because of children like him who score well above the state standard on the stupid communistic State Standardized Tests, that brings everyone elses scores up to minimum so the school doesn't get an "Unaceptable" rating.
So yeah, go ahead, eat what you like, blog what you like, and "F" the rest of those morons and feed them fish heads!
Sorry you had to put up with that. Sometimes my husband tries to be 'helpful' by giving me such supportive comments as "Are you sure that fits in your diet?" or "Are you ever gonna exercise again?" after which I threaten to throttle him. I hate that when you announce you want to lose weight suddenly EVERYONE is the diet police in your life.
I, for one, was excited you got to meet Norm but was unable to comment since I was reading about it on my blackberry which didn't allow me to comment at the time.
I love that you post the everyday stuff that goes on in your life along with the really exciting stuff. I always look forward to reading your blog. I don't care if it is about a bag of M&M's or you getting to meet a celeb. It's like I'm living my life vicariously through you! And who cares about the diet? I'm not trying to trivialize it because I know it is important to you but sometimes a salad just won't cut it when you really want a burger. By the way, most of the diet experts advise you to give in to a craving. If you deprive yourself of it, when you do get it, you go overboard. So there, Nick!
Ugh... I love you and always will.
Ignore the bastards!
I was thrilled that you met Norm. Especially since you allowed me to tag along. He was pretty cool, and I'm still in shock that we were hanging out with people who've written for TV and movies. Damn.
I'd say more but I'm working on that whole "internal filter" thing.
Reading for years Erin and still love it... be yourself, make your own choices and enjoy !
Carry on !
And...
THIS is why I (we) love you!!!!
Good for you! I can't stand people like that. My husband gets like that sometimes anytime I eat something "bad" or take a day off working out. STFU. :P We are making an effort even if sometimes it's little steps or fall off a tiny bit. And it takes more guts for us to try than for them to sit on their asses pointing out the bad little things.
BTW, if you are curious about the bodybugg, I wound up buying it tonight and can let you know how it goes. :)
OMG, I am obviously SO behind on my gigglechick, SORRY this is such a delayed response. Have been out of country and dealing with eye surgery (separately).
Had I been keeping up, you would have gotten my comment about how great you looked at Caroline's much sooner (but i swear i had not read this post when i typed that!)
I am truly dumb-founded that anyone would try to reprimand you about calories and exercise and shit. They do not know you/get you at all. I was immediately impressed on my first trip to giggleland when I saw that you were putting all of your stats and ww and stuff out there for the world...that takes guts! I STILL have yet to blog about ww and i skipped another meeting tonite.
Screw the haters! Gigglechick on with your bad self! Blogging about food is truly one of my greatest pleasures in life. Right behind actually eating said food :-)
