Why the fascination with Kimmer? #16

[Mayberryfan]

Someone refresh my memory, please. When is SL's deposition???

Oh and thanks for all the pats on the back! I do appreciate it. I'm trying to refocus my attention everyday on the things I'm doing right and be proud of that, rather than beating myself up over succumbing to some temptation like peanut butter! I realize that I am harder on myself than I would EVER be on anyone else, and where has that gotten me? Fat. That's where!

I tend not to care too much for the kind of person who constantly needs a public display of adoration (Kimmer, are you listening?) But, sometimes it's okay, I think, to say 'hey I'm proud of myself for such and such' and let it be known. You guys are very sweet to recognize me. So, I just wanted to say thanks!

As far as I know, a date has yet to be set for SL's deposition.

I believe we are looking forward to another Heidi depo toward the end of next month.

Vickie---there's this ED blog I read that is titled "Every Woman Has An Eating Disorder"

The more I look into ED behaviors---the more I see that is a true statement. What woman do you know that hasn't been on a diet sometime in their life??

Disordered thinking when it comes to food and body image is ingrained in most of us from a very early age. The more we let go and not let our weights define who we are the better we can be. It is also better for our health. Worrying about being overweight is more unhealthy than being overweight.

I agree with that. I'm on a program and I still worry about it. Maybe I always will but at least I am reassured I have not only FREE support from lowcarbfriends but from FA (Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous) which is also free. The only thing I had to admit was I AM A FOOD ADDICT to myself.

I relate to what you guys are saying. And sometimes I think, "What will I do when I'm not obsessing about my weight?". I have obsessed about it almost my entire life (at least since junior high). I think that that may be why I have never been completely successful. I have lost more weight than I care to mention, but I never lost it all or kept it off. I think it's been a way of focusing on one thing, while neglecting others; making excuses for why I haven't done certain things; for why my life is where it is and not where I want it to be...etc. You guys get the point.

Then I have to go back to the blog I wanted to comment on, go to the comment page, usually type out my comment all over again (since I often lose it when I'm trying to post and it doesn't want to let me sign in, and I'm not "with it" enough to remember to copy it before trying to post it the first time) and hopefully not get signed out of one of my blog in the meanwhile.

Basically it's such a pain that I just give up and use anonymous most of the time, and then I'm usually so frustrated by having gone through that whole process that I completely forget to sign any of my known screen names (I have about 3 of them - but I express the same views with all 3, and my writing style is most likely very recognizable anyway, so I didn't figure it was that big of a deal - until now), and don't want to go through the whole mess again just to leave another message saying who left the other comment.

This happened to me several times when I had left a long comment. When I used my login software, which holds passwords for me, I lost everything and had to start from scratch. This happens to me with Google. And then, other times I cannot make out the letters they want you to type.

It just came to my attention that Gary's last name was also edited out. I have to inquire why? I understand swalt, but Gary WORKS for Heidi as a paid admin. I didn't post his home address or phone number or anything. We can say Heidi Diaz, but we can't say Gary ? How about Delaney ? These are paid minions of Heidi and as such have no right to privacy protection by LCF. Yes, I know Gary contacted LCF and threatened police action, but if we start falling victim to intimidation, what good are we? I'll wait patiently to see what happens to this post before I decide my next course of action. It is a shame because I really enjoy conversing with the good folks here, but if I can't say , I'll take it elsewhere. Shame!

ETA: The info I posted was researched via publically available (or semi-publically available to anyone in Kimkins). There was no reason to censor it. You would have us allow Heidi's paid minions to hide behind a cloak of LCF? What about the tag put on LittleSina outing her as Singinglass? Is it ok, as long as an admininstrator does it? Let's have an open discussion about this here. Disappearing posts in what happens inside Kimkins.

WEIGHING THE FACTS: The Changing Face of Anorexia:Starving For Perfection

[Mayberryfan]

Okay, I'll try to keep this short and sweet. I need a little "expert" assistance.

I've been stuck in my weightloss effort for a while, and I can't seem to get unstuck. I know many here advocate only counting carbs and not anything else, but I don't think I can get by like that.

Obviously I'm eating more than I did on KK. I only ate 500-800 calories a day for about 3 months. In September '07 when I switched to PPLP I continued to lose and have gotten as low as 204. I'm now back up to 210.

I have tried to eat just under my BMR which is about 1,850 calories per day. I've tried eating 1600-1700 calories per day, but I gained eating that much and I DON'T want to eat that much. I'm more comfortable eating between 1200-1400 calories per day. That suits my appetite and I'm not having to smack my own hand too much. Also, as of about 2-3 weeks ago, I started adding in a daily 2 mile/30 minute walk - which is fairly brisk but I can still carry on a conversation.

I've been bouncing up and down over the same 4-5 lbs. for months now and I'm frustrated! What do I do???????????????? Oh, and my daily plate (mayberryfan) is public and I keep it to the morsel, for the most part.

Would that be the deposition in which she is under the court's order to cough up the evidence she's been withholding?

MBF, my nutritionist told me to eat as much as I want of protein, low-glycemic vegetables, fats, and to limit consumption of nuts. I didn't count calories all weekend, just focused on eating more and eating earlier in the day.

What you are doing sounds good, and if you want to drop so you're between 1200-1400, I don't think that would hurt you any. Don't go below that, though!

[Larcana]

Mayberry,

I too was having gain issues, but I decreased my nut consumption and added more exercise. It seems to help. I also, noticed salty foods seem to keep my weight up, like cheese.
I am watching my carb load and trying to eat more greens.

I upped my daily walk/run time to 60 minutes and after the run I drink a large glass of water to flush the ketones out.

It is a constant effort not to regain after KK.

Hello, everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here. This is off topic, but I read on here about a federal vote for mental health issues on this board. I believe Bama Gal was the original poster. Does anyone know where these posts are?

Thanks.

LINDA

[HoneyBee2]

I had the same thing happen. A post disappeared where I quoted you, but it was reposted, when I asked about its disappearance, because your post had the last name edited out.

I have been trying to just go with the flow, but either- what is allowed in the posts has been recently reconsidered, or you are not a person one should quote or post around-because it seems contagious. lol

Hi Linda and welcome to the FWK thread! The posts you are looking for can be found here- Why the fascination with Kimmer? #14
In that post Bama also provides the link to the blog post she did on the topic so you may want to read the update on that issue.
Hope to see you around.

[la linda]

HoneyBee2, Thanks for that info. I was telling a friend(a DR.) about it and told him I would see if I could find the legal description and send it to him.

[Mayberryfan]

Magicsmom and Larcana ~

Thanks! I don't eat much cheese at all. Maybe 1-2 T grated in my eggs 1-2 times per week. I usually eat about 1 oz (28) almonds per day. I'm going to lose the peanut butter - as bad as that will hurt! - and see if it helps. It seemed like the weight was just falling off then came to a HALT. I know stalls are common on LC but this is getting ridiculous. At least I didn't regain a lot quickly when I quit doing KK. I quit the diet way before I got banned!

Maybe I just need to give the exercise time to start helping. I know I'm terribly insulin resistant. I've looked at the whole fast twitch/slow twitch muscle theory and how moderate exercise is more helpful to taking off weight rather than something very strenuous. I just cannot make myself do really strenuous exercise. It leaves me exhausted whereas walking makes me energized. That feels right to me!

I also received a "mark" for my post when I quoted you about -is Fontaine french, I think we know the answer-..... I posted back about the southern translation of the name Fontaine- You know the one about it being a southern pronunciation for fountain.
This all followed after my siggy was deleted for having the words "big-boned" in it, so I took out the "big-boned" portion and was allowed to repost it. This is the siggy that you commented on Truth...

I have been trying to just go with the flow, but either- what is allowed in the posts has been recently reconsidered, or you are not a person one should quote or post around-because it seems contagious. lol
.

Yeah, I was totally joking tongue-in-cheek when I mentioned your siggy, and the next thing I know it was changed. I didn't report you, just made that joking post, but I am sure sorry if that caused you to have to delete it.

I wonder if my other "big boned" Cartman posts are still around? Lemme go search.

ETA: Yeah still there. I wasn't calling anyone big-boned though
Not sure how lint-licking is better than big-boned? Better take that out too HB.

Good to see you posting, Linda!

These are from Bama's Blog:

Back Across The Line: We need your help TODAY for parity

Back Across The Line: House Passes Mental Health Parity Bill

Back Across The Line: Parity legislation in the 110th Congress

I'm sure she'll pop in later today to share more with you.

Hey Pal, I have been in the same quandary with BMR. 2big, Madam and some others posted some great information a few days back here, regarding the way the calories are divided up, and how that makes the difference in whether you lose or gain on a 1600 calorie diet.
Check it out and I will pass along anything I find that turns the light bulb on for me, too.

We will take your word for now that Gary is a paid Kimkins administrator.

I am not aware of any threatened police action or legal action to LCF by Gary or anyone else from Kimkins.

In general, we don't want this site being used to aid in the harassment or slandering of other people or businesses. There will be many judgment calls made by admins in what not to allow - and we ask for your patience and understanding since we often don't have complete information but plenty of complaints from both sides.

We occasionally read this thread and some of the blogs, but please understand that the admins are not able to keep up with everything that is going on in this or all the other topics discussed on this board. We ask for your help in bringing our attention to areas that need to be addressed.

We do not claim to offer full freedom of speech here, but we attempt to be fair in permitting discussions according to our Terms of Service. If there are topics that you would like to discuss that are not appropriate for this board, feel free to take it to your own personal blog or another message board.

[thetruthinhiding]

Thanks Tom. I understand that full freedom of speech cannot be offered here, and nor do most of us expect it. There are a growing number of disgruntled folks who do disagree with where the lines are drawn and how inconsistently they seem to be drawn.

MBF-
I toook a look at your fitday and here are my observations:
1) Butter is not allowed.
2) You went a little overboard with the Parmesan cheese!
3) Watch the granular splenda, it has a carb per packet
4) I see you didn't claim any carbs for your coffee?
5) Don't be afraid to lower your calories, eat lean protein only when really hungry, and stop when you think that might be enough, don't wait until you are full.
6) How's the potty? Maybe you haven't lost because you haven't gone in a while? I recommend a full to double dose of Ex-Lax followed by a 50% dose every day after that. You want to keep things moving. Toxins build up in there and ferment.

SOUND FAMILIAR? Thought you might need some reminiscing, since you miss Heidi so much. Like Becky one said in a blog post: Do the opposite, you'll be safe.

ETA: Yeah, satire for me too, in case you are really dense.
