The original poster was a troll. You can tell troll posts by the
amount of cross posting. Go back to the first comment where there
cross posting began. They will go through any length to create a stir.
You and your group are being played like a piano.

If this is true, you have nothing to worry about.

Dieting and exams don't mix
Jacquie van Santen
ABC Science Online
Tuesday, 11 May 2004


Go on, have another. Dieting at exam time may take your thoughts away
from study
If you've got exams coming up and want to perform at your peak, then
new research suggests you shouldn't diet.
Australian research shows that dieters are more forgetful when it
comes to carrying out some complex cognitive tasks.
It seems that some of their memory space is taken up thoughts of food,
weight and body image.
PhD student Jacqueline Shaw and Professor Marika Tiggemann from
Adelaide's Flinders University publish their research in the latest
issue of the British Journal of Health Psychology.
Tiggemann said memory consisted of a 'central executive' that acted as
memory headquarters to tell two 'slave systems' what to do.
One of the slave systems looks after hearing and verbal tasks, the
other is a visual spatial 'sketch pad'.
Scientists know that dieting affects cognitive performance. Previous
research had identified that it was the central executive and verbal
and auditory system, but not the visual system, that are affected most
by dieting.
The Australian study confirmed the verbal and auditory system finding.
The researchers divided 92 female university students into three
groups: those currently on a diet, those who had dieted in the past
and those who had never dieted.
The students then performed a series of cognitive tasks, such as tests
recalling sequences of short and long words.
The researchers found that those currently dieting struggled with
complex verbal tasks.
"You would think that dieting doesn't have much to do with verbal type
things. But our study showed that when people were doing a task and
then had to say something like numbers at the same time it affected
their performance," Tiggemann said.
Interestingly, only those who were currently dieting were affected;
those who had once dieted performed on par with those who had never
dieted.
The researchers said this indicated it was the dieting behaviour
itself that contributed to the poorer performance.
Professor Tiggemann said the study findings were consistent with the
idea that it was dieters' preoccupying thoughts that led to poorer
memory performance.

Do you even think before you type? I wasn't whining or complaining. I was
stating facts. And I was disputing the myth that fat people are healthy.
Talk about trolls. You are a fine example of one. You didn't notice my
signature did you? Or my follow up message. Idiots shouldn't be allowed
keyboards.

from that????

She is taking as a general rule. If you are overweight and don't want
to be-do something about it. People who whine and complain about
their situation and do nothing about can't be serious about ANYTHING.
I am almost positive she was not referring to whiners and
complainers. You are a distinct MINORITY among fat people and for
some reason the idiots listen to you and hold you up as the
stereotypical poster for their ****ty propaganda.

How do you feel about that? If you don't like your life...CHANGE
IT!!!

He doesn't bother me so it's not an issue.

I do almost feel sorry for him though....almost.

Perhaps he can get over his hatred and / or phyco problem.

Obvious troll to annoy the diet groups.

That statement by itself is true.

Disagree. There's a great deal of variation. Will
discuss more in ssf-a if any nontroll wishes to.

"Big Betty" was either forged, or a troll pseudonym. For that
matter, my original post was headed: "Why trolls are so repetitive".
The poster of "Why dieters are so stupid" has forged me. (See
headers.)

| I'm not sure where you get these ideas from.

It is a troll trying to annoy people.

Either you are a troll or are highly delusional. Overweight people
may be as happy as thin versions, but they are at much greater risk
for illness earlier on in life.

That explains nothing and is not even relevant to what she was
saying. Her future "illness" is only an excuse for ridicule, not
because you give a damn about anyone but yourself.

Let's get that out in the open. You are fooling no one.

LV

I didn't note any ridicule in my post. Just concern. To claim you
are as healthy as me is interesting. By what do you guage your
health? Care to run several miles with me? Maybe play a couple hours
of tennis? Or could you do that? Maybe yes maybe no. If you are
happy being overweight then you just go ahead.

When one can read what others post and continue in the same vein-that
is ridicule of the group itself. Surely you read a few posts before
you posted?

She didn't complain or whine. Illiterate brainwashed jackasses like

ps - Bobbi, you are rude and stupid. Very rude, very stupid.

Hey Robin,
Since you're the only one that RAGINGLY INSANE Bobbi Sanchez listens
to now that RAGINGLY INSANE Steve Chaney is gone and forgotten from
usenet, would you mind translating the posts she reads into very basic
terms that Bobbi can understand so she does not needlessly and
causelessly attack other posters with her RAGINGLY INSANE attitude
like she did this poor woman. If she got help with her extreme
stupidity from a friend it might end her spree of random usenet
violence and make this a safer place for all of us.

TIA

Jade

PS - also ask stupid Bobbi Sanchez to tell Headcase Rauni and
Wonderbra Chaney to turn off the Darth Choad bot. No one is reading
it.
