Why the fascination with Kimmer? #13 - Page 96

cleochatra · 02-03-2008, 04:30 PM

Honeybee-- I just had the wings with hot sauce. My lips are on fire but MAN are these delicious!

You know, it just cements that I could never do Kimkins.

For starters, I would lose weight too slowly. For another, I just had a flax cracker with taco dip. I feel like I just had dinner out at Old Chicago.

Who could ask for more?

{{{Mesmerize}}} Feel better soon!

The bad news is I think it was picked up at the airport so god only knows where it is going or where it came from.

Looks like I have some catching up to do.

Was this the stomach bug? If it was, I had it in the fall...It was horrible..DD had it a few weeks ago...I ended up in the ER and so did another older friend who had it..NO FUN!!!

I hear yah! It has been going through my company like wildfire. I have not yet had to take a day off, but am miserable with it. This has been like 4 weeks, and I cannot get rid of it. Just when I think it is gone, it comes back with a vengeance! I wish I had stock in Kleenex! We have been going through boxes and boxes of it! Feel better everyone. This is a strong virus.

MissMerize · 02-03-2008, 04:52 PM

My honey picked up antibiotics and is sharing them with me. I have never needed a prescription, but this broke my fever and seems to be working.

Everyone in the house got it. We were all crippled in bed, and no one was able to really eat. Poor grandma is the last to get it, and for 2 days she was all lonely sitting downstairs with no one to talk to. We could all be heard hacking at different ends of the house.

Maybe Heidi would like to get this - I did lose 5 lbs in 3 days. Get her off to a good start with her pinky challenge.

I could sneeze all over a valentine and send it to her.

rebel · 02-03-2008, 04:58 PM

MissMerize - I hope you feel better soon. My husband and I have had a sinus infection type of a bug, but a friend had a stomach type of bug. She said it was the sickest she has ever been. It's going through the school system here. They took a snow day on Friday, so maybe, that will give it a chance to slow down.

rebel · 02-03-2008, 05:03 PM

So, it was a flu type bug. I started taking Tylenol severe symtom and Musinex as soon as I felt it coming on. I try to keep it in the house because I know that once a season, I'll end up with it.

I have to admit that I am beyond understanding how someone can take this kind of advice seriously! Can someone explain this to me? BTW, I am NOT downing anyone for following this advice. I know SHE is a lying liar that lies. It is NOT YOUR FAULT. I just can't fathom how she makes it so credible. She is a truly devious woman and that is why she has been able to HURT so many people. Please, folks, do NOT believe in her BS! She is NOT the answer. There are so many diets out there that are GOOD.

Buy a book! Atkins, Protein Power, South Beach Diet, whatever! The trick is to look at it as a WAY OF LIFE and NOT a diet. Because if you ever go back to eating the way you used to, you will gain it ALL back and more. You need to change your LIFE forever, and quick weight loss will NOT teach you how to do that. YOU WILL ONLY GAIN IT ALL BACK AND MORE!

And there are FREE websites that will help you do this. Come along to Low Carb Friends and see how many good people are there to cheer you on and give you ideas. Lowcarbfriends.com Low Carb Diet Support and Products!

There are so many factors to this. First of all, we really believed that Heidi had lost 200 pounds. We really believed she was gorgeous, and we really believed she knew what she was talking about. I think she capitalizes on our fast food mindset - the mindset that makes you want to use the microwave is the mindset that tells you it's better to lose your weight in 6 months than to take a year doing it. You beg her to review your Fitday to see if you're doing it right, and you really want to please her.

The brave ones ask her if it's o.k. to have hot wings. Heidi tells you in her condescending way that you can go ahead and eat those wings if you don't mind that it will take you longer to get to your goal. After all, they are just full of fat, and let's not even talk about the bleu cheese dressing you intend to dip them in. She has a power over people that is very hard to explain to people who have not experienced it. The last thing you want to hear is for her to say that you don't want it badly enough, because you know you do. When you stall, and we all do, you ask her to tell you what to do. Keep in mind that you really believe she already accomplished what you want to accomplish and you believe that if you follow her advice, you will have success. Her advice always is for you to cut your calories more; you're still eating too much, are you measuring that lettuce, are you sure it was only four ounces of steak, are you using your salad spritzer instead of that evil fatty bleu cheese dressing??? After all, this is THE woman talking to you, she has really DONE this thing, and this is what you want more than anything.

With perfect hindsight, we can look at this and see the absurdity of it. That's because NOW we know she didn't do it. I am sure she laughed the evil cackle when she berated people for not wanting it badly enough because they put butter on their broccoli and raked them over the coals for being weak as she brushed the sugar cookie sprinkles off her keyboard.

This is the reason that some of us are such zealots about exposing this woman and trying to take her down. We take it personally to know that during the suffering we endured, she was slamming down Cap'n and diet Coke, munching on sugar cookies and God only knows what else. I have said many times I think she's a cruel sadist, and I do.

rebel · 02-03-2008, 06:20 PM

Magicsmom - I can understand how we fell victim to her, but what I can't understand is the people who know she's a fraud and they are still hanging on her every word. They are still asking her for advice. Can anybody tell me WHY???!!!!

Because they CHOOSE not to know. Self-deception even outweigh's Heidi's deception, and at the back of their minds lingers the hope that, although Heidi regained her weight, at least once she managed to get it all off. And their self delusion persists in thinking that they wouldn't be so stupid, but would maintain after all that wonderful weight loss. What such ones can't admit is that Heidi didn't lose all that weight, and doesn't know how to maintain when she does lose some.
Plus there is always some rooting for the underdog, and in light of the concerted attacks on Kimkins and Heidi, their kneejerk reaction is to support this overweight sister against the wicked onslaughts.

Mayberryfan · 02-03-2008, 06:41 PM

Stopping in to say hello and GO PATRIOTS!

BAMAGAL ~ No need to explain your family's love of football. We're in the SEC. Its a religion here, not a sport! Sheesh!

Honeybee, et al., thanks for your nice comments on my translation of the latest Heidi-speak. Maybe laughter is the best medicine and it will help MissM and others feel better soon. Hope so!

Spent most of the day in the ER with my 10-yr-old neice. Her mother was working there today so the 10-yr-old spent the night with me. We got up to a 103 degree fever this morning. So, her mom was able to work her right into the ER without us having to wait. There is a really nasty flu-like bug going around! Flu & strep tests were negative and the sinus x-rays were clear. So be careful out there guys and gals! I don't know if ducks have a natural immunity to this stuff.

MissM...sneezing on that Valentine might be a good science experiment. I'm a teacher, so I'm alllllllllll about learning! Go for it!

SMP · 02-03-2008, 06:52 PM

Grandson was over Thurs, stayed overnight. Too sick to go to school Fri. He spent till late Fri aft in bed. Bro-in-law spent 3 days in bed. I was slightly unwell today; hope that is the full extent of it, otherwise, I be in deep doo doo.

As for Heidi, any weight she loses on the swings (stomach flu), she gains on the roundabouts ( consoling herself with the Cap'n and diet Coke.)

OMG!!
Have you read my blog today? This is exactly what I was talking about!
Hugs to you MagicMom - I feel your pain! Pat yourself on the back for getting out when you did!

She's EVIL! And her members are blind to it. They just don't want to see her cruel, sadistic ways! Some of them are even TRYING to make it all right by offering their own advice - but MOST only want to hear what Kimmer has to say.
SAD!

It's good to have your thoughts and feelings validated, isn't it?

Hugs to you too! And it has no reflection on your intelligence level either! Not only has she conned many, but she has conned many people who are actually smarter than she is. We will have the last laugh, I'm certain of it.

I don't understand this either. ESPECIALLY since she, herself, is not showing the weight losses she promised everyone. She talks about cheating and the 4794212 reasons she's not losing or stalling. How does this not give you a huge heads up? I mean, if the mass abandoning of ship by so many admins didn't open your eyes, and if her being proven a liar with the fraudulent success stories, the fake selling of the site, the red dress picture being found PLUS all those others fake pictures being found didn't make you see what a scam this is, just what will it take? The evidence is overwhelming. I don't understand how you can sit back and accept that someone did all this to you to get money from you and you carry on like all is honkey dorey in KK land. It's mind boggling.
