Huge Rant: Know-it-all "dieters"

Yep...she wi;; experience a big rebound effect if she is not changing her behavior and exercising. Even if she does that..she expect 5-10 pounds of just water weight she will gain back really really fast. The funny thing is that everytime I ever used phen I would lose it and still look flabby due to losing lean mass. So sit tight and watch.....

NO FLAME: just to continue this RANT....first of all, why does anyone care what someone else is doing??? the fact is, its not affecting your life or life style...it is different when some one wants your input and is generally interested in what experience you have and wants to heed your advice...the men do this too, we get caught up in what other people do and say...unless it is going to impact you, to each his/her own...taking care of myself is more than a full time job....I surround myself with people who have a positive influence on my life, people I can learn from...some people dont "get it" and fight everything in life that comes their way, its a futile attempt and exhausting expenditure of energy to confront and battle narrow minded people, or the ones who know it all and do everything their way-even tho its not working...take a rest...sometimes being quiet is the best example-and will attract people who want your help....just my .02

You are so right PBR....BUT....It's hard to remain quiet when someone is attacking YOU and YOUR choices...you know? I'm the kind of person that I don't throw my lifestyle in other people's faces - so it is hard when they criticize my choices or tell me THEY know what is good for me. In this case (PinkP's) the other women is the one who is throwing her unwanted opinion arond...frustrating to hear....

The way I feel is that I honestly don't care how people live their life, but don't try to make me conform to your idea of what is good/bad.

Very good viewpoint....that is the way all people should be, then the world would be a happier place.

Daisy...thanks...I have a very hard time when someone is directly in your face with something disagreed upon or offensive to me...I am no saint-by any means....Iam at a point now in life and with the BB lifestyle, that it takes more of my energy to respond to something like this, than to just listen and observe...we as a group, have an uphill battle when it comes to telling people how to have the physique they desire....look at all the "BS" out there- that is constantly being shoved down everyones throat!!!( on a daily basis) the confusion must be intolerable...many of us have been educating ourselves since our late teens....we have one up on-" them"....

This woman inwardly probably knows that she's not doing the most healthful thing for her body...and even with the pills, she's probably wishing she could have one of those bagels.

he he he...you are probably right wend!

Thanks Daisy for what you said. That is what I am talking about...when they have to stick their nose into what everyone else is doing and make comments about how I am living MY life. I don't put my lifestyle or what I eat/don't eat in ANYONE's face, so I don't appreciate it when others do it to me, and ESPECIALLY when they don't have a frickin clue what they are talking about. It was quite funny though yesterday when I saw her, she was telling someone how she is SO tired and she thinks that she just needs a really high calorie and fat meal to boost up her energy. I just chuckled to myself and kept walking...
