Good-bye
Sorry, but I'm sick of know-it-all Americans telling me how I should or
shouldn't eat when they know nothing of me, or my lifestyle, or even how British people normally eat. I'll lose weight the way I did the first time, before Usenet was ever invented, all by myself. Good bye. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |

Dear Annabell,
I'll miss you GREATLY So sorry to see you leave but I really can understand! I have come & gone MANY times over and I lurk always! I jst can't get too far away as I need this somewhat. I need to hang on to the strength which comes from many here. Those who are going through the terrible trials of weight problems are my help but some are not so I just skip thier posts here. I hope that you will not go too far away as I really like your posts a LOT!! ((HUGS)) glo |

I'm sorry that you feel that way but if you are going to post your food log, you need to expect for people to comment. In fact, you *invited* people to comment. I'm sorry that you did not like the feedback that you received but that was not the first time that someone pointed out that you really need to eat more protein. Whilee weight loss in general will help Robert with the lifts in figure skaing, I don't think that losing muscle mass will help you any at all and that's really the direction that you are headed with this WOE. Perhaps you would like to consult with your figure skating coach or with a personal trainer? -- jmk in NC |

Being open to the idea that people know something you don't know is hard to get used to. Joining a group with no interest whatsoever in taking what they have to offer you is pointless. I've been hard on you. I just can't quite find the empathy to feel bad about it. You've been acting like a know-it-all since you got here and have been unrelentingly closed to the suggestions of the people here. You insulted the most helpful regulars (clearly you had not lurked) and that left a bad taste in my mouth. Good luck on your weight loss. When you're ready to make the changes necessary to lose fat and keep it off then come here and lurk (that's silently, i.e., LISTENING) and we'll tell you. Dally |

"Ignoramus8546" wrote in message ...
Some random thoughts... 1. The purpose of posting food logs is to, first, be accountable, and second, to invite comments. The purpose is in the mind of the original poster. You are assuming the poster is inviting comments. For example, no one knows the purpose for your reply here; perhaps you want to help, perhaps you want to be seen as an expert, perhaps you have no life and just want to flood Usenet with your pontification. Posting food log and becoming upset about comments on it, is not reasonable. If you do not like those comments, you can discontinue posting food logs, or ignore the posters you do not like, without leaving the newsgroup. Trying to persuade someone to stay here when they cleary are upset and do not want to is not reasonable, unless you want them to stay as fodder for your unwanted replies. This is a diet newsgroup, so, comments about people's diets are to be expected. This is a support newsgroup, first, so support is to be expected. This is alt.SUPPORT.diet, not alt.DIET.support. 2. Fish oil supplements, and such, are food and should be included in food logs. Perhaps, but what is your point? 3. Saying that Annabel has bad skin, without seeing it, is not wise. No, it's presumptive. 4. Saying that Annabel's diet is lacking in nutrients, is a bit of an understatement. No, it's presumptive. 5. Saying that Annabel cannot lose weight, is based on conjecture and not facts, she might be able to lose weight and keep it off. I think that her chances of success can be estimated as less than half, but this is as far as we can say with what we have seen. Upon what do you base your estimate of Annabel's success? If there is no emperical basis then you are just guessing. 6. My suggestion to Annabel is to stay here, lurk for a while, make some adjustments in whose posts you read and what you take from them, etc. This newsgroup is a good resource for those who take what they need and leave the rest. She did not ask for your suggestion. Are you too wrapped up in yourself to see that YOU are one of those she does not wish to deal with? Get a grip. |

I thought you were very helpful with your suggestion to me in my "Settled into new Environment" posts. It's a pity that you haven't found the group as helpful for you. Good luck on your "solo" effort. Tonia |
