I watch my skinny friends eat cake and the voice inside of me says "why can't I eat that and not worry about putting on weight?" and is horribly jealous.<br /><br />At other times I feel diet-ly superior when I watch other people stuff their faces and think "I wouldn't do that" - but equally I know myself and I know that I so easily WOULD.<br /><br />But we do need to hear it all - hearing your struggles and battles helps us feel more normal. It makes us realise that even those people who successfully lose weight have their own battles.<br /><br />Btw. I bought 2 pairs of Old Navy Dreamer jeans that you recommended about a year ago - they rock!<br /><br />p.s. 6 slices of cake? I could so easily do that!Runnergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959620202503355090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886834023809652263.post-36340991500719582862010-10-07T08:04:52.435-05:002010-10-07T08:04:52.435-05:00I don't think you've been a paper tiger.

And really, you're o...Ah Jen, you're human! And really, you're only accountable to yourself. Just be yourself!<br /><br />Thanks for putting on the link to the Marie Claire article (I hadn't heard about it). After reading it, all I can say is that most of the weight-related blogging world is not dangerously thin and over-exercising. (And according to the news, the latest is that 2/3 of Americans are obese (!).)<br /><br />I can read all sorts of things online and think "Wow, that's quite a workout" or marvel at what other people eat...but that doesn't mean I'm going to imitate what they're doing.<br /><br />Marie Claire is trying to get people worked up...and of course focusing on what "harm" some blogs could do to their readers. They probably want to squash the blogosphere a little too...wouldn't you be mad as a magazine writer that amateur bloggers are getting book deals? <br /><br />Most of us are a little obsessed, and most are far from over-exercising and being borderline anorexic. <br /><br />Online blogging, for most of us, is a way of motivating and inspiring each other, and is a heck of a lot cheaper than traditional therapy.<br /><br />So I simply say "Meh" to that Marie Claire article. They have an agenda to sell magazines. That's all...and usually happy, rah-rah stories sell fewer magazines. That's all. <br /><br />(They managed to get all of us bloggers reading their magazine article now, didn't they?)Ex Yo-Yo Dieter Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833922126301063523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886834023809652263.post-16278511102516228722010-10-04T22:09:18.570-05:002010-10-04T22:09:18.570-05:00I have to say, I commend you.

It isn't easy to confess your downfalls to a general public, as I've recently discovered. =/ So I guess here we both go to no paper tiger'ing. =D<br /><br />Also, that article in Marie Claire is extremely harsh. I've read a bit of Katheats blog, and it's not altogether bad. I must admit that I don't think I could eat some of the things she does, but like you said, one thing can't work for everyone. =/A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11294931817073840633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886834023809652263.post-88389430950411213682010-10-04T21:24:58.353-05:002010-10-04T21:24:58.353-05:00Oh Jen you are fucking awesome!

Crouching paper Tiger let it roaaar!!!<br /><br />I think that silently trying to fit in while obviously holding your feelings in is something that we all are guilty of and likely most of us use this tactic to survive life.<br /><br />Me at a party??? Well, if i am ever at the ball, this cinderella doesn't always wear the glass slipper - but she sure knows to how to fake it!<br /><br />I just know (and we have never met) that you are the most genuine and sincere person who likely snorts when you laugh and have occasionally let yourself think that you are not as awesome as you actaully are.<br /><br />As for your lack of blogging-- WHO DOESN'T!!! Take time, get adjusted and when you have something fantastic to tell us, we're there!!!<br /><br />Anyhow, keep rockin chickita and I swear no matter if you are a paper tiger or a crouching tiger I will always be here!!<br /><br />xoxThe Insatiable Hosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020997843702559493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886834023809652263.post-90771340268446891362010-10-04T20:45:49.239-05:002010-10-04T20:45:49.239-05:00I'll be honest - when I first read your blog a...I'll be honest - when I first read your blog and saw what your eating plan was (no carbs, no sugar) I laughed out loud. There's absolutely no way in hell I could live without bread and fruit. Ever. Those are things that I need to feel like I'm getting balanced nutrition. Also, I lost a lot on the south beach diet a few years ago. When I got carbs back, I went INSANE. Keeping that stuff out of my diet created a mental issue that was almost WORSE than my food addiction and I gained a TON of weight back. And, so - when I read that you lost your weight by not eating two things I couldn't live without, and without exercising (which I'm convinced is integral to a balanced weight/diet/lifestyle) I was very worried you'd suffer the same consequence I did. <br /><br />But, in the end, we're only accountable to ourselves. It doesn't matter if what you're doing is what I could never do. My fitness plan includes LOTS of activity and I'm a pescatarian! <br /><br />THAT BEING SAID...I think the power of this community is, really, discussion; talking about issues and finding solutions. Which is why it's important to talk about why what you're doing could be wrong. Or, could be right. And, by airing this stuff we'll be able to reach more people who don't fit in to the same mold, but need to know that it's a struggle, a process, for everyone...regardless of how we do it. <br /><br />A lot of rambling but I have been thinking a lot about accountability today after coming off a binge of my own. <br /><br />Thanks for blogging Jen, I have enjoyed your posts and would love to hear more of your journey - the positive AND negative.Nissa Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217374387203988596noreply@blogger.com
