Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

OH heres a huge pet peeve. Only being able to post one PM per 75 seconds grrr

How about having an ISP that keeps cutting you off because you live so far out in the boonies that only 10 people in the network can be online at one time!!!!
(it doesn't help that my computer is a relic, but I refuse to get a new one while my 3 yr old gets up late night and clickety-clacks around)

OH HEIDI, YOU ARE MY HERO!!!
I've got a relative that does that with each of her children and they all have a serious weight problem. Get this, they think that I am sooooooo strict and tough for 'making' my kids eat their veggies. She's got 2 teenegers that won't even eat fruit, never mind veggies. All because they "wouldn't eat it" when they were babies! Sheesh!

OOOOOXXXXX you my dear are a good mama!!!!

you know what blows my mind? what do you mean they will not eat it????? who is the boss anyway a 2 year old or you??? Kids do not starve themselves to death ...they can hold out for a long time if they know you will weaken and cave but you are not mommy or daddy dearest if you want your kids to eat good healthy diets ....

cheetoes candy and soda are NOT food groups!!!!

and then bringing your kids in because they can not poop and mind you this is not due to an organic issue of a clinically diagnosed bowel problem... but because of a diet with out fiber or water......is just wrong!!! ...I think it does make you mommydearest if you are willing to feed them crap and then go to the trouble of putting them through a humiliating exam along with Xrays and then suppositories and enemas, stool softeners ..all because "they won't eat fruits or veggies" not because they have real bowel problems and this happens all the time!!!!....come on now!!!!!

put a cup of water and pear, broccoli or an apple in that kids hand not a bag of chips or a candy bar!!!


omg I should not have started

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

You know 13 years ago when I was a new mom I had this great pediatrician that assured me that if my little guy wouldn't eat his food, then just wait him out to the next meal because he won't starve. That broccoli starts to look mighty good when you haven't eaten since breakfast! (My mother-in-law thought that I was a monster!) I think that so many parent's think that junkfood is better than nothing. Soooooooo wrong!!!!!

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

When the person you share the bathroom with doesn't replace the roll of toilet paper when he/she has used it up. And the next roll is always just out of reach. Seems I never have the foresight to check first

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Size ZERO family members (mom and sisters who have had multiple children, gah!!) who look at me (size 12) and say, "Don't lose any more weight! You'll look sick and gaunt!"

These are the SAME family members who used to make fun of me for being fat, when I was the SAME EXACT SIZE when I was a teenager.

Actually, ANYONE who tells me, "You don't want to lose TOO much weight! You're fine where you are now!"

Hello....I have to live in this body, not YOU!

Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

OHHH.... people that lose weight and then when you ask them how they did it they say "I don't know? Grrr...

people that eat everything under the sun and stay a size 2 Grrr...

People that come down on you about doing Atkins and don't shut up!

I could go on but I don't want to be an ADULTS THAT WHINE (lol, which is another one of my pet peeve too)

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

My latest pet peeve:
Learning (via Atkins, a few books, and online research) that all the diets I've tried in the past were wrong because what the media and supposed "studies" and associations and doctors said has been WRONG. Low fat/low calorie doesn't work for everyone, especially if you do not do it carefully and correctly, nor is it necessarily any better for your health. Oh, and eating (healthy) fats is not bad for your health nor does it necessarily lead to heart disease.

So in summary, my pet peeve is the misinformation on nutrition and dieting for the past 30 years.

Re: Pet Peeves: List them here

Husbands and sons who need me to to iron their clothes, find their boogie board, tuck in their shirts, fix their coolaid, get their towels, pack the cooler etc etc and then go sit in the truck waiting on me so we can go to the beach. (while I'm gathering everything together and wondering where the **** everybody went)

You forgot to add.. then ask "Why it took you so long?", been there too many times.

Or how about people who ask you how YOU lost your weight, and when you tell them, eating right and exercising, they get all glassy-eyed and disappointed and make all kinds of excuses about how they could never do what you're doing (as though you really CARE) because what they really wanted was MAGIC BEANS???

Okay, I'm done. Really. 'Nuff ranting

And what are they all doing here??? You mean all those idiots out there on the roads of Ontario are actually from S.C.????? lol (I think they are like that everywhere, Priscilla)

And I agree with everyone here. I'd love to bring you all home with me so we could go on and on about our peeves but then my peeve would be "not having any time to myself". lol
