Let me think about that. I might be able to weave you in for a guest appearance.

Happy Anniversary, Jo!


Schooled? I must have missed that.
In all honesty I hope she doesn't experience any health issues from following KK.
IMO, to disregard the health issues of others, the uncovered and admitted fraud, the bannings, the laxative abuse, advice to lower already very low calories, and all other dangerous advice handed out by Heidi Diaz (as witnessed in her own words many times) simply because you've dropped weight on her plan is a selfish attitude.
Russian Roulette.

And I have to confess, a transgression I have a really hard time overlooking with they finally wander out into the bright lights.

The pattern that seems to be emerging is someone makes the front page, draws lots of attention and scrutiny to themselves (you listening, Patti?), don't like the attention and either decided or are prompted to come over and set us all straight (or to the blogs), and then they are see the light.

So, my question is this: Do they really see the light? Or do they get worn down, cry uncle then go hide while continuing to do KK because it works?

Are they simply caving to the pressure? Are they simply going underground? If that's the case, how has that helped?

They get worn down and get taken off and HIDE. I am pretty darn sure of it.

Whenever hubby or the 21 year old are going to the store and ask me if I need anything, I always say "Get me some Kotex while you're there". You would think they would stop asking by now.

I found the ultimate Kimkins Diet duck !!



Is it perfect, or what!

Maybe just a little name change for the *stars*?

Two expressions jumped to mind:

1) She can dish it out but she can't take it. (Doesn't want it bad enough, I guess.)

2) Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

Thank you for asking ..... his face is returning to normal - little slurring and has lost about 20# because nothing tastes good..... He's down to 132.8#. Gained .8# in the last two weeks. I'm making him shakes to put weight on him. If I ate what he eats I'd gain 20# in one day!

He did have Bells Palsy - palsy of the 5-6-7 nerve. He did just have a visual field test and passed it - no damage.

Heidi is not the Messiah and she is not the Anti-Christ. It's very simple. She is nothing more then a Scam artist who only thinks about herself. She cares nothing about other people, their money, health, or lying to them about anything and everything. As long as it gives her what SHE wants. The end justifies the means.

WHY would you want to promote a diet and person who has done nothing but hurt people? That is totally based on lies? Lies that people totally believed and hurt them?

It's simple. She is a Liar, a Scam artist and needs to be shut down so she can't do this to anyone else. It's that black and white.

I realize that people used to talk about her like she was the 2nd coming. Then when they found out the "truth" it's like she is responsible for all the ills in the world. That's a "Normal" reaction, in trying to heal from something like that, but it doesn't change the fact that she is nothing more then a scam artist who committed Fraud and needs to be "Shut down".

Take the "emotions" out of it and just look at the "Facts". The facts are over whelming. The Lies, fraud and dangers are really to long to list. It would be much simpler for you to list something Good. It's seems the only thing you can list is that you lost weight? You want to give her honor and credit for that?

I've heard of that diet and it's branches. It's called "Be thin at any cost". To your health and also to your integrity. Anorexia is another Branch. You compromise a lot for that "diet" too.

Sorry that I am going on, but to me it's very simple (I am a simpled minded woman) It's called "Doing the Right thing", not just for yourself, but for others. You look out for yourself and you look out for your neighbor.

In who's best interest is it to promote and give honor to Kimkins? That's something you have to ask yourself. To honor something that is a lie, hurts and misleads people says a lot about that person and what is truly important to them.

Selah.

Really good post, and you make valid points. Unfortunately, they will fall on deaf ears. It's like blowing against the wind. Maybe someone else will hear you, though - we can hope, right?

I was wondering the same thing ..... is she even telling her members what she weighs now? No new pictures? Maybe she really wants to surprise everyone that shows up in Vegas (big unveiling)....

Linda...
Thanks for the support with the blog. Today has been a day that I feel like I am banging my head against the wall with all this. I have not handled things the way I wish I had lately. Maybe I need to try that...is it too late to take that back ...lol

Yes....sadly I was daydreaming out the window that day. My poor beleaguered teachers just didn't know what to do with me.

What can I say? My mama raised me to always obey the authorities. For a while I thought Hidey knew her stuff. After all, she only weighed 118 lbs when I met her....











NOT.
