That's just one of those (stupid, but harmless) things that people say to other people who are dieting because they think it's encouraging.
The OP said that they found the documentary motivational, recommended it to be helpful and then tried to give some "nice" words of encouragement at the end.
Their hearts in the right place.

Good for them. Me? Imma have a Cadbury egg later.
How are they now? I read that they changed the formula so I haven't tried any this year. Which is probably a good thing, the caramel ones are my kryptonite.
They're still decent. Not as OMG I GOTTA EAT THEM ALL NAO as I recall, but I will not be throwing them away. I'm truly thinking about mixing one into some of my plain Greek. Add some sin to my sensible.
"sin to my sensible" I love that! Is that your quote?

What's the documentary about? That not all calories are equal? Or that you can eat anything you want because it's all about CICO?
Personally, I believe that weight loss depends on a calorie deficit, and health is gained if you eat nutritious food.
And also, ''bad'' foods are nutritious....... for the soul. ;D0 -

Is it a mean people thread yet?0 -

Thread takeaway:
1: Never eat chips, cheesecake or chocolate; they will make you fat and you won't be able to perform at Carnival.
2: If you watched the documentary and you disagree with, you're snarky and mean and should go find another thread.
3. If you didn't watch the documentary and you disagree with it, you're an idiot.
4. Housewives are lazy and use feather dusters.
5. Mr. Knight is out of Forum Jail.
I feel like I might have missed one somewhere....0 -

It turned into a "Mean Thread" for the win! Yay!0 -
I burn tons of calories while my house is being cleaned. My housekeeper let's herself in and I go for a hearty jog. Win-win.0

"never eat chocolate again" DOES NOT EQUATE to "help you stay away from chips, chocolate, and cheesecake."
Most people who want to lose weight, or maintain their loss, would do well to stay away from these foods most of the time. They might be considered "treats," which implies a once-in-awhile special occasion.
To those who choose to eat them every day, because they can eat them in amounts that fit into their caloric requirements, congrats!0 -
Does anyone even really get offered cheesecake every day? I certainly don't. What is this magical fairy world where cheesecake is constantly before you?0

I think it's called a supermarket. The sell cheesecake there, I think. Chocolate and chips, too. And you don't have to have it offered to you. You can buy it yourself, with your very own money.0

:drinker:
Me not objecting to the documentary doesn't change a thing about your statements accusing me of objecting to the documentary?
So you are determined to let your assessment of me stand regardless of the facts? This seems like it has much more to do with you than it does with me. If my actual statements and beliefs make no difference, then project away.
Shh, attempting logical back and forth here is futile. If I discuss this further I'm sure I'll get warning s from the mods trolol.0 -
