    Wow!! I can't believe anyone would have the nerve to critique someone diary without them asking for suggestions. I have my diary public, but no one has ever done that.

    You are doing good. Keep up the good work. There will always be critics. I have mine in my family. maybe that is why I like it here so much. My family isn't around. :laugh: :laugh:

    I hope you feel better getting off you chest. Don't let them make you have a bad day, though. Success is the greatest form of revenge.

    Have a great day. :flowerforyou:

    You just take care of YOU, girlfriend! Whatever you are doing is obviously working! I'll send you a friend request, and I promise not to judge. You can look at all the pizza and tequila on MY food diary, then! :drinker: Lol! (I eat healthy stuff, too) If anyone judges you.....either tell them, or delete them. Who needs that crap, right?

    It's about calories and nothing else. You can eat Twinkies and lose weight not that I recommend it.

    This is one thing I'm facing. I know I won't be able to eat like I am for the long run, so what will I eat after I reach my goal? Not these dry chicken breast sandwiches that's for sure.

    if they dont like what your eating then maybe they need to step their fit little *kitten* over to your house and cook for you every day LOL..

    everything in moderation, i totally agree with you, eat what you want, its all about what works for the individual, what works for you may not work for others and they REALLY need to keep their "know it all" comments to themselves...it just amazes me how many "self proclaimed" fitness advisors there are here, bottom line if we DONT ask for your input then DONT GIVE IT!!!!!!

    I don't ever comment on someone's diet or workouts, except to offer encouragement. Now if someone posts a thread asking for help or advice, I'll offer what I've learned and what works for me. It may not be the right thing for everyone, but based on my experience, it's all I can suggest.

    Regardless, pay no attention to negativity. What other people think does not matter, really. If you're happy and healthy and doing well, then to heck with anyone's criticism.

    Also, to your friends and family who aseem to be sabatoging you, "NO, THANK YOU" is a complete sentence :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    Hang in there!

    I don't know if you are referring to a particular incident, but I must say that from what I've seen on here, people are just trying to give helpful suggestions as to what works for them. Everyone is different and some things work for some and not for others. I personally appreciate the input and feel like that is the reason I'm on this site. If I don't want peoples incite and comments, I just wont post or invite friends. It's pretty easy to keep to yourself, but if you put it out there, you will get comments....just sayin'


    Agreed~ Said exactly right~

    Just tell them to sling their hook.

    Whilst I have my reservations over the legitimacy of orthorexia the cult like devotion, manic zealotry and sheer smug self satisfaction of some clean eaters makes me want to throw up. You know the ones: you muuuuuuuuust eat cleeeeean at allllll times, if you eat french fries go straight to hell do not pass "Go", chocolate gives you cancer, won't someone please think of the children, save the dolphins, blah, blah, blah.

    Hey guess what? Tonight, Mattthew, I will be drinking beer. It contains carbs too! Carbs I tell you....

    Here! Here!

    Some people can't grasp the concept that just because something works for them that doesn't mean that everything else is wrong. You sound like you're doing fantasic, and you're definately doing better than what I am : ) Try to brush off those criticisms and just go on with your plan. You're doing great!

    You are right! This is a safe place for everyone to share. Encouragement shouldn't be a slap on the hand!
    You keep the faith!

    Glad someone brought it up! I'm getting annoyed with some of the comments I get from people on here. I'll make a post without even asking advice or anything and next thing I know it's "oh you should try this not that" "well i've been doing this and it works it doesn't look like you're follow __" etc First off READ my post and see what i've said before answering. Funny story i've been doing this for 3 years now and have been successful sometimes more days than others, I was studying health for a bit at university I think I know what's good for me and what's not even though i've slacked off a bit in the past which halted my progress I KNOW what to do and now i'm ready to really take this seriously and get through the last bit of weight I want to lose, therefore I came here to get support and motivation from others here, not get nit picked on when I never asked for it. However if I asked for advice then have at her.

    . the funny thing is, most everything i eat is homemade but i use a lot of the fast food entries to mimic calorie amounts. i admit i am a lazy logger - why breakdown and enter 7 items when 1 is 'close enough' for me?

    I do the same thing.. I figure that the important thing for me is that I log, but there are so many things that are hard to log and I would rather try to find something that seems about right, instead of just using "quick add calories". So on any given day if you look at my diary, you'd think I ate at 3 or 4 different restaurants. :laugh: My sister does the same thing but I still fall for it - like the other day she logged "movie theater popcorn", and I said "oh - you went to the movies?" (she hadn't...).

    Anyway, pretty much no one ever comments on my diary, even though I have it open to everyone. Mostly I think it is pretty boring. But I am definitely not a health fanatic and I need more than rabbit food. I agree with everyone who comments about how it has to be something you can live with forever, not just for the short term. The proof is in the pudding (sorry! :blushing: ) - I have been using this sight for more than a year now and I am still here. Many of my "friends" have come and gone - some within just a week or so of joining. :grumble:

    I think this goes for all aspects of ones life,whether your dieting or trying to figure out what you wanna be when you grow up.its your life and no one lives it but you and at the end of the day when you lay your head down you and only you have to be ok with the choiced you have made for that day.

    I hate when people insult your personal food choices. There is no perfect diet that works for everyone. Each person should find what works for them. My friend looks down on me because I still drink one soda a day. I just cannot seem to cut them out entirely, but I am losing weight so I am not going to beat myself up about it. I have realized that it's better just to do your own thing and if it works, awesome. If it doesn't, then you can ask for advice from whoever you want.

    Just be who you are, and eat what you want to eat. Because getting healthy has to start with you and be about you first and foremost. Forget the haters :grumble:
