  • ............ There's so much wrong here.
  • Troll level: teenage girl. Unimpressive.
  • Did you forget how to read? I already said I don't waste time on writing to corporations. I simply don't bother and act using my wallet. Do try to keep up. You know, you keep attempting to police my tone and it's really sad. You keep saying I'm "angry" or "hostile", and I keep telling you I'm not. Maybe you need a puppet…
  • Don't mistake my refusal to take responsibility for things that don't concern me as not caring. I have a great many people that I care for deeply. You, the OP and that other lazy apologist don't fall into that category. I'm sure you won't have any problem continuing to live in perfect sanctimony. In the end, I'm not the…
  • First, congratulations on being cancer free. That's wonderful! I wish you lifelong remission. Second, I'm sorry to hear about all of these issues. It sounds rather draining and demoralizing. Now, onto some possible solutions: 1) A support group/some kind of counseling or professional help. -You need an outlet for your…
  • You said some rubbish about me thinking you're into socialism. Hence, conspiracy.
  • No one here is "angry" except you, sisbro. If I had children, I'd keep them away from the likes of you. Not because of imagined socialism, but because you're clearly unhinged and seeing conspiracies where none exist.
  • That fails to be my problem. I made the opposite choice of you and many others, so none of this really matters to me. I don't care if my tax dollars go to care for people with ineffective parents. That sort of thing has been happening for decades before I came about, and it isn't likely to change in the far future, either.…
  • Your children's health has ZERO to do with me. I patently refuse to accept your inability to control your kids as somehow being MY responsibility. You had them, now you deal with them. People like you are the reason why children continue to grow up weak and ineffectual. You teach them that things are other people's fault,…
  • I participate in society frequently, and am well aware of how the world works. I just don't take it upon myself to start projecting my inadequacies onto other people's food choices. Do I agree with people giving small children soda and feeding them fast food? Nope. But it's not my place to get involved in people's lives…
  • Pinning it all on this ever nebulous "we as a society" is exceedingly short sighted. I'm an adult. I don't need "role models", because I'm the only one responsible for my choices. You or other adults may feel that my actions somehow have something to do with you or your children, but you'd just be looking for a scapegoat.…
  • Children in cultures that drink a lot of tea (regular tea, not stuff like Lipton) seem to do just fine in terms of brain growth.
  • True. You round up enough histrionic, conspiracy seeking people and crap like this starts.
  • Then do your job as a parent and make sure they aren't given caffeine and explain to them that advertising is designed to make a product look better than it is, and that excessive caloric intake is bad for them. As far as the company goes, you can write them all you like. But I guarantee that the intern assigned to read…
  • What do I mean by pseudoscience? I mean what the word means: pseudo science. If you and your husband want to throw your money away at clinically approved Svengalis, please continue to do so. Gotta keep the economy going in our own little ways, I suppose. Why let someone else trick you or goad you into doing what you're…
  • What exactly is wrong with your body that it needs a "kickstart"? (Barring legitimate medical issues, anyway.) Oh, wait. NOTHING. You were sold a lie by marketers, and now you're trying to sell it to others. You COULD eat food without fiddling around and making smoothies, but why do that when you could unnecessarily…
  • If I want a tangible reward, it can be anything that isn't related to food. Sometimes it's a new t-shirt, others a new video game.
  • The time in my life where I wasn't jaded. My cat Gary. My grandma. My stepdad. The pair of jeans I wore on my first date with my husband 15 years ago.
  • I'm fully expecting to put on weight during the holidays. I'm going to eat appropriately (for me), but I'd be fooling myself if I thought I wouldn't put at least a small amount on. I put on 1-2 pounds during my birthday and took it right off again. I'm not super worried about it.
  • If I have the room in my calorie allotment, I'll eat it. However, if I don't... I'll either try to "earn" it by exercise or remind myself that I need to choose long term health over short term pleasure provided by food. I'll also drink water, decaffeinated coffee/tea or have a protein shake. Some days are harder than…
  • I worked in the spa industry for a while. Wraps are bunk when it comes to long term weight loss. You'll most likely lose water weight via sweat if it's a heat based wrap. The treatments are basically someone slathering stuff on you and then putting you in a glorified tarp for a while to shut you up while you sweat…
  • I ask my husband if he'd like a donut. If he does, I purchase two. We eat said donuts, I drink my black iced coffee. Then we take the 30 minute walk up the hill back home and move on with our lives.
  • Fascinating how these randos who've never posted before always crop up talking about how their "friends" use ::insert magical diet/product here:: and have had "amazing/miraculous/awesome/magical/epic/etc" results. But I'm sure it's totally legitimate and just one of those weird coincidences that happen in life. I see a lot…
  • OP doesn't "need a kickstart". She needs to hold herself accountable to the only person that matters: herself. No "cleanse" or "detox" will help one do that. Cleanses and detoxes CAN hurt people.
  • My kidneys want nothing to do with these proceedings.
  • "Skinny Sprinkles" sounds like what 80s era supermodels called cocaine.
  • My liver is laughing heartily at the person who said that the body does not "detox" naturally. Normally she'd be cursing your name, but she's feeling smug this evening.
  • Nothing is considered "cheating" for me. Demonizing food as a "cheat" only makes me want it more. I eat the things I want in small amounts while making sure I get enough of the necessities and getting some exercise.
