    Oh, the moronic comments...

    So...I know my 83 year old mom is only relaying what she thinks is helpful information because she loves me but...

    Get ready for it.

    A friend of a friend of a friend of hers just died from pancreatic cancer. And she was on Atkins.

    Ergo, "She died from pancreatic cancer because she was on Atkins!"

    Sometimes the train derailment is so bad you've just gotta shake your head and walk away.

    Love ya, mom.

    Re: Oh, the moronic comments...

    Oh, that's nothing. Did you know that 100% of the people on Atkins will die one day? Or that 100% of the babies born today will die? Scary statistics if you ask me

    I tend to ignore those comments.

            My favorite is "don't you know Atkin's died of a heart attack?!"

            Ummmm, no he didn't.

            Or "your cholesterol is going to go through the roof!"

            Ummmm, actually it's gone down and I'm now in a healthy range, doctor is thrilled.

              Hi all;

              Your posts made me laugh and made my day!

              I'm sure there will be many, many more rude/obnoxious/stupid comments made; I'll be sure to post them!

              Cheers,

                Someone once said to me "I just don't like diets that are so restrictive of certain food groups."

                  Yeah, don't you hate when a diet just automatically cuts out food groups like the delivery pizza group, the french fry group, and the pop tart group? LOL!

                      Atkins doesn't have a PopTart Group?!



                      That's it. I'm out. I'll eat my PopTarts and spare myself pancreatic cancer.

                        There are lots of these things going on. I think I have heard the story of so and so was on Atkins and then developed this or that and therefore ATkins is bad for you.
                        The most common moronic comment I get is "how can you stand eating only meat" DUH

                          Re: Oh, the moronic comments...

                          Man, reading these posts has kept me smiling all the way through Thanks, you guys! I work with 9 other ladies, but mostly there are 5, because of shifts and days off etc. Anyway, I'm always talking about Atkins and what I've had for breakfast, or the exercise I've done today, or I'm answering comments about my 32 oz. jug of water (no, there's no vodka in it today, Ed , beside I prefer Scotch) or explaining to one of the girls, what I had for lunch because it smelled so good! I've converted both my sisters to Atkins, and my brother and his wife are "watching" my progress keenly.....I have had to say to some people, "no, I don't eat just bacon; I eat fish and chicken, and I don't eat margarine but real butter!" And don't you love to check out other folks grocery carts when you go shopping? I even tell the cashier that I'm doing Atkins, when I ask about getting in any unavailable vegetables, like jicama or fennel or PC brand frozen broccoli! I'll admit that my sisters were sceptical at first, but saw how well our family was doing, so they each went out and bought the book. My 2 girls are also leery, but I'm sure they'll come around. I'd love to see my youngest (2 do Atkins. She really needs to get off the carbs and sweets!

                          Anyway, there will always be doubting Thomases, but having done Weight Watchers, I must say, Atkins way of eating makes sense to me, works for me, and I love it.

                            While visiting family on Sunday, I was talking with sister and mom about what exercise I am doing, in addition to my WOE.

                            Now my sister is very happy for my weight loss so far, (So is Mom,) so I DO have their support. But she said, "Well what's gonna happen when you stop exercising, you can't keep exercising every day forever!

                            I stopped and took a deep breath and smiled and said, "Even if you are not trying to lose weight, everyone who is physically able should be doing exercise every day, or at least 5 days a week, just for health reasons."
                            She looked at me sort of embarrassed and said, "Yeah, I guess you are right."

                            LOL LOL LOL:
                            Just a side note...A few months ago, I told my sister about the Walk Away the pounds series that I use. She happened to have it "on Demand" on her cable station. So she put it on one day. She called me after wards and told me she was able to find it and put it on.

                            She told me she only got through 10 minutes before she was completely exhausted. I told her that was pretty good for someone who does not do any exercise at all and next time it will be a little easier and she can do more.

                            She said , "Do More Next Time?!?!?!" She said, "I got exhausted sitting on the couch WATCHING! I never even tried the walk!"
