i Want to kill!

[sadie@136]

one of Dh`s friend who once had a crush on me came,he saw me in full bloom (lol)now,as i have lost some weight and most of inches he went like,what are u doing to look like this?
i said look like what..he said u look thin..i said i am doing atkins he said what is atkins i explained it is low carb high fat diet and he laughed out loud,he never had heard of it,when i tried to explain our menus and acceptable foods he made some silly jokes about this diet i bare it ,but then he said
it is all phsycological and u arent losing beacuse u arent eating carbs,your mind is telling u to loose weight ..thats why u are losing
and i said i was starving myself to daeth and every bit of my body and mind was telling me to loose weight but i didnt,then whats so magical this time around to make me think just thinking to be slim!
and i was definately infuriated,i tried to explain calmly but he stuck to his point i offered him the book to read it himslef but he was so pigheaded that he is right
all i wanted to do was through the book on his face and make him suffer!
all my reasoning was just BS to him
i tried to explain again ,but arghhhh..i just said to H e l l with u stop cursiing my diet or i will kill u!
i walked away and i really wanted to punch him on his face!
Blah! ppl can be so mean ,i never had thought,now i am trying to come up with an answer to ease myself and make him realise that atkins is right ,so am i.

Any HELP???

Oh sadie, with the coming New Year, we're going to hear the nay-sayers coming out of the wood work! In my opinion, just keep telling him what you're doing (if you see him again) and he can laugh as much as he wants to...as you continue to lose weight! Some people just don't get it and don't want to try!

Re: i Want to kill!

You will never convince him and so what! People who have never battled with weight loss or addictions often cannot understand our battles. They just don't have any idea what it is like. Ignore them. All that matters is what you think and what works for you in your life. His approval is not important.

Hi Sadie,
there're not words able to explain any truth. Here's a Hindu teaching story to make myself clear:

A king asked a sage to explain. In response the sage asked the king how he would convey the taste of a mango to someone who had never eaten anything sweet. No matter how hard the king tried, he could not adequately describe the flavor of the fruit, and, in frustration, he demanded of the sage "Tell me then, how would you describe it?" The sage picked up a mango and handed it to the king saying "This is very sweet. Try eating it!"


This is only to say that if Atkins is right for you it is only because you tried and experienced it and not because someonelse told you it was right. if it is really imp for you you can challenge him on a 14 days induction on Atkins (make sure the bet is high), if it is only you willing to prove that Atkins is right.......well, you do not need him to agree!!!! you already know it is, we know!

Re: i Want to kill!

I know what you mean Sadie. I have found it better to lie and say I am hypglycemic! (if that is how you spell it). It seems i don't get the "MOCK concern" and criticism when i say that. It also ensures restraunts don't put sugar in my food or the waitress just gives me the brush off when i say i can't have sugar.

Stay the strong woman you are!

Re: i Want to kill!

It is okay if they don't understand especially someone like you described. I have alot of people around me like that I just think " you are sooo stupid, and why do I want to take the time to explain to you when I don't care what you think"
Take pitty on him he is really an ignorant person.

Re: i Want to kill!

I'm sorry he showed you his ignorant side now aren't you happy you never when out with him?


Brook used to have a quote about you could lose fat but stupid is forever or something like that.
