- - - I just had to write a little rant.
Next time she makes a comment on my hard earned exercise that is defeating the purpose of it or gloating that she's eating such crap. She's deleted.
I have people like my statuses that hook up from here and Nike+ all the time. I don't need comments like this, really.

    Facebook is a different animal than here. People here understand what you are trying to accomplish. FB...it is more general. No offense, but one my my fiends puts something like that up, my comment would have been much more sarcastic. But my friends and I are extremely sarcastic, so it is expected. Delete 'em, ignore 'em...just remember my saying, "What you said would hurt more if I cared what you thought."

    Melissa J H I said I just ate that. While you are out working out. Your doing better than I am. Your status made me feel like a guilty pig

    Sandra W Right. And so you should.

    I have 64kgs to lose. I don't need to read **** about what you're eating while I am trying to lose a whole person.

    Like it's not hard enough without the negativity. You've got to do what's best for you.

    Aye.

    I know it's different than here. People are just stupid. Sarcasm I can deal with. I'm Australian, my grandfather used to tell me he tie me up behind his Ute and make me run behind to lose weight *L*

    But really. Some people just don't *think* before writing. I've had those posts going up for weeks. ><

    Anyway. That's my rant for today. I just didn't want to "blog" about it. Because I wanted to blog something else. hahahaha.

    ranting done. I am sure I shoved her back in her box now.

    "Some people just don't *think* before writing"

    Story of my life. I am definitely missing that filter. Or better yet, that 5 second delay!

    Wouldn't it be nice to be a goldfish?

    (although it's false that they only have a 5 second memory, i'll play on that anyway)

    Sometimes I talk without thinking, it's worse IRL, harder to back out of. I'm a pro at it online. hahaha.

    We just have to take it in perspective I think. I actually had an aerobics instructor who taught step class last Monday ask me if I burned 600 calories in 2.50 hours in a week in her step class and she figured class burned 400-600 calories. I had added my treadmill and weights to the step class instead of breaking everything down. It was easier that way and it was all on Monday. I felt angry at her like maybe I didn't work hard enough in her class and was it in a week but then I put it in perspective and said to myself it didn't matter what anybody on facebook said because I know in my heart I do more than a lot of people do in a week including that aerobics instructor who teaches only twice a week. So what if she burns more calories than me per class. I do extra before and after her class because I can't follow her fancy footwork but we are all unique and I can do things better than her I am sure. I would not want to hear about binge foods either even though I am at my goal weight.

    Screw the twits who send stupid gloats to you. You did a great job with the workout, and you have every reason to be proud of yourself! Go you!!

    ps. I know guys. I actually thought for a minute there about deleting my facebook. But maybe I'll just take off the exercise posts. I've my Nike+ hooked up to it too. So people *may* be getting sick of seeing my distances each and every day. hahaha. Although I've a cousin on there that posts from RunKeeper himself. ho hum. haha.

    This girl won't ruin me. I've known her *basically* all my life. Everyone must rant. haha.
