Wow. I'm glad you were able to tell the "truth" that there are other options. It's too bad that some people think that there is only one way to eat healthy. Hopefully you will get to see her again and wow her with your successes!

ROTFLMBO!! You rock girlie! Good for you. I don't know if anyone has seen the movie "Norma Rae". My favourite scene is at the end where Sally Field stands up on a table in the middle of the factory holding a sign that says "Union". The movie has nothing to do with your story, but I can just see you standing on a table with a sign that says "Atkins" and everyone applauds and sees the light they way they do in the movie.

Can I be president of your fan club?

Great job!! I LOVE it!! I also envy your ability to do this. I am one of those people who don't speak up and then later spend days thinking of what I coulda/shoulda said. You, my dear, are awesome!

Re: I need to vent....arrrrrrrr

Here in Oz we call it the 'tall poppy' syndrome - everyone wants to cut 'em down!

very good

The first time I did atkins, and told people, they said to me
that Atkins died so how good was his diet???
I used to go in and say He fell, which had nothing to do with his diet, but they didnt beleive it.

When you go back, make sure you have a photo from now, tehn she can't say she doesn't remember you! A copy of any blood tests, blood pressure etc would be good too, you can REALLY crow!

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a bite my tongue and think of things to say later. Some of this stems from the fact that I had a puberty onset deafness, and by the time I was 30 only had 6% hearing (none of us realised, including me, how bad it had got - fixed by surgery now). So I never heard insults, side comments etc and just sailed on regardless. But I never learnt to riposte verbally, either, and I'm not much good at quick comebacks.

Re: I need to vent....arrrrrrrr

Oh, I wish I could have been there. I had to go to a nutritionist last year because of my cholesterol and she told me about the Margarine and I asked her about the poisonous transfats, she told me that she wasn't allowed to push butter, I told her we were both wasting my time and hers. LOL

Re: I need to vent....arrrrrrrr

I'm not good at quick comebacks either. I'm so jealous of my DH, he always knows the perfect thing to say. I think of the perfect thing, only it's hours or days later. Even sometimes just minutes later, but the moment has passed. Sigh...

rofl.. When I first read this, I read it like you wish you were there so you could've sat on her LF snack!! School is draining my common sense. lol

Re: I need to vent....arrrrrrrr

good job! I've been on WIC before and have taken quite a few of the health classes. They really have no idea what their talking about. The only person who agreed with atkins there was the "real" nutritionalist that worked there. But either way good for you! i would have LOOOVED to have been there!
