The office ice cream social <rant>

[Candy]

Dr. Phil helps obese people who have real problems with food. Not people who want to reach a certain bodyfat %. Not everyone's goals are to have a six pack. And thats okay if they dont. If they want to eat what they want when they want so be it. Some people have goals to make a certain amount of money or to raise children.

Some people have spiritual goals - and think its silly what we do.

And I must apologize - I am very sick, I dont feel well. My throat hurts so bad I cant swallow or eat whole foods. Not just one posts but many were rubbing me the wrong way. I dont post often - and I'm sorry.

Goal Getter - you are pretty judgmental. You have alot to say about other people. Who cares what they do? Maybe they DO have other priorities. Who are you? A bitch.

Thanks, Shutupandtrain...

Hi Candy. Thanks. Yeah. It is pretty judgemental, but can you deny it? If he has the desire to write a BOOK ABOUT HOW TO LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE, you're going to tell me it's not hypocritical of him to not practice what he preaches and to defend it away in interviews with the "I'm not overweight, i'm just big boned" defense?

Sorry, but I stand by my comments. I don't have to sweeten a comment like that or censor it because it's going to sound mean or judgemental. And it doesn't make me a bitch to be a straight shooter.

And as for having a lot to say about other people... hahahahahahahaha! In case you haven't noticed, I talk ad nauseum about MYSELF on here. It's a wonder no one has asked me to shut up already. So um... yeah, read a little more before you go attacking people based on ONE comment or ONE thread.

Jeez. Every party has a pooper... It's all good.

I'm sorry if you feel sick...I hope you feel better soon.

As for Phil: I realize he helps people with other problems as well... I applaud him for wanting to help others. However, I don't agree with the hyper-marketing about exercise and eating right. As a psychologist, he should be talking about the emotional, psychological and motivational, but he should draw the line and let someone else take over when it comes to promoting something he himself doesn't APPEAR to adhere to. For all I know the guy runs marathons and eats more clean than I do. I highly doubt it.

And feel free to post your thoughts. That's what forums are for. We don't all have to agree all the time. I wasn't speaking for anyone else just me. If anyone agrees or disagrees, well then cool.

Ooh.. catfight!

He focuses on those points specifically. Its not about the food. That what overweight people dont realize. The book is a very good read. Dr Phill does lead a very healthy lifestyle IMO, read the book. I really enjoyed it. Look at all the people he has helped.

Yeah i haven't read it. I just see him on TV telling people "eat right and exercise" type of stuff... That's what i'm basing my opinion on. So if you've read the book and I'm way off base, thanks for calling me out on that.

And sorry baboon, for going wayyyyy off topic on your ice cream social thread.

Hate to say it but Dr. Phil was an NCAA football player and now is apparently quite a competitive tennis player. He plays at charity pro-ams all the time. And he has a personal trainer - he's had him on the show before and trains with him 3 times per week. Bastard makes something like $750 a week just off Phil alone.

See? goes to show, what do I know. <open mouth, insert foot>

Sorry, Candy.

Seriously - he doesn't LOOK fit.

Cake and Krispy cremes three days in a row this week.

 

[Candy]

I should not have said anything.

I'm not normally so mean! I promise! (getting married in three weeks stressed much?)

I know he may not look fit , but to look fit may not be a huge priority ya know??

Some people have serious issues w/ food on a mental/emotional level. He's not really trying to tell anyone his way of getting to 3% bf. I have people here at work who can eat a slice of pizza (just one slice!) and bring candy, etc. and have such ease around food, their appearance, etc. i cant eat just one piece of pizza. I've been dieting too long. Thats freedom. I admire some people for that. But whattya do?

When I first started out I thought I was sooooo much better than so-in-so because I ate better, looked better, felt better. I was better than them in my eyes because I had such DISCIPLINE. Ha! Yeah right! What about DISCIPLINE at the mall when I shop? I dont have discipline there. Never mind. I'm rambling.

GG - I am sooooooo sorry for calling you mean names. That's not like me I promise.
I feel bad. I used to do the same thing.

I like the raspberry filled ones!

Holy Hell!!! This is my #1 pet peeve out of people. What is it with people and their desire to always know what you are eating...and why you don't want any of what they are eating/ have/ made/ etc.! Or trying to get you to eat something you don't want in the first place ("you could just try it" or "have just a little bit")
What is with people and their need to force food upon you?!?!
And it's practically anyone...friends, FAMILY (they are the worst!!!), people at work, practical strangers...seems that no one is exempt from wanting to comment on your diet (and by this word I mean, lifestyle dietary choices, NOT the contemporary meaning of the word) and wanting to inflict their poor choices or lack of will power upon you.
Sorry to rant so, but this drives me completely nuts!

i was at work last night talking to 1 of my buddies (the ecto freak i have mentioned in earlier threads ... the gifted 1 who eats big macs all day and doesnt gain an ounce.) anyways, he is sitting there woofing down a bag of doritos and offered me some. i declined and said, "nah man, im still cutting." his response was, "a few aint gonna hurt ya." my first thought was, "and how is it you think doritos would help my cut?"

This is moi brother. I can eat fried bread smothered in butter and
not gain an once. Once I stop exercising and eating healthy,
I lose ALL of the gained benefits of exercisin and healthy eating habits.
I hear "everytime I see you, you have something in your hand" phrase
everday (at work and away from work).
